Hi, I'm Renee I'm 21 and I think I'm finally brave enough to try to loose weight. I had played sports since I was 8 and was always thin, then when I was 17 I had a horrific injury and quit sports and exercising all together. Since then I have gained almost 100 lbs, and I'm finally so sick of it I have to get over my fears and get back in the game!

    Hi, 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:

    Welcome! I'm a lot like you ... except a lot of my weight came from fast food three times a day while working 80+ hours a week. You'll LOVE it here, the support here is amazing, and you've already done the hardest part!! :flowerforyou:
