in Introduce Yourself
:smile: For one month now I have been struggling to stay on a diet and lose weight. All other attempts lasted a few days before I succumbed to cravings and indulgence. To help me I was on another online diet journal which worked, but lacked the feedback that I seem to need. SO, here I am.
I"m a Christian, a homeschool mom of busy teenagers and take care of my mother in-law. Most days are busy at home, no time for me and lots of time at night to munch!

    Welcome to the sight, I am a newby myself. I find this sight to be very helpful as well as addicting. I try so hard to keep within the calorie count and have succeeded so far(except for the first day). A little advice, if you get the munchies at night, try snacking on veggies drink a green tea w/splenda. I find that helps to curve the snack demons! By the way, how can I get one of those lbs rulers on my post?

    HI! Im new here too and excited that it seems all the tools to calculate weight loss are on one website!
    Im not very computer savvy and I dont see anywhere that we get to record our calorie loss while working. Does anyone have any input on this? Is it already calculated into our daily routine? If anyone could let me know, that would be great!
