hi,
Welcome to the site. My short term goal is to lose those 2 pounds a week also. Since I have started here, I have been able to staedily lose weight. Logging in my food makes such a difference. good luck on your journey!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Hi Christine, 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:

Hello everyone, Just joined a bit ago. It seems easy enough.. Long term goal would be to lose about 50#, short term is at least 2# a week.. Chris

:bigsmile: :flowerforyou: Hello Chris and welcome to MFP. I joined less than a month ago. This has been a wonderful place for me. It's so easy to keep track of your food. I plan my meals ahead of time so I can make a change if the calories are too high. I always save enough calories for a high fiber snack three hours after dinner.

everyone is so supportive and there are lots of good ideas for meals, exercise, and how to deal with the people in your life who seem to be interfering with your progress.

take it one day at a time. take baby steps.
