New to Calorie Counting and This App

Hello from Rhode Island! I have been using this app for about 2 weeks now. I heard it was popular and one of my friends suggested it to me. I would have never thought to count calories, and the thought of punching everything you eat in here seemed exhausting. Well my first week of counting calories, as skeptical as I was, I actually lost 5 pounds!!! I am eating more food than what I am used to too, as I thought losing weight meant eating less and only watching out for how much fat was in something. My next weigh in is tomorrow, and I'm hoping this weight loss continues. This app is easy to use and not exhausting at all entering in all the food I eat.
