I'm here after a friend recommended this site. So far the site is awesome. It is helping me keep track of what I am doing during the day, and I am hoping that this will help me keep track with the weight that I want to lose. I have repeatedly failed diet after diet. After having two children I want to get back down to 150lbs. I am at 188 right now and not liking it much.
So wish me luck lol and goodluck to everybody who is here, working their booties off :tongue:

    Hi BJ, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off!
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:
