New Kid on the block

Options
OK here I am starting a new day. I did this last year for a month and lost some weight. I have figured out that even though I hate counting calories, this is what it is going to take. I put so much in my mouth that is "extra" and that I am often not even aware of. That is my main problem, i think.
Thanks for this great sight. ...and happy week end to you all.

    :flowerforyou: Good luck. I hate to count calories too, but it is an eye opener when you do. That feature has helped me so much.
    You can do this.

    Welcome, New Kid. The great thing about this site is that it really does make it easy to count calories. It's been a real eye-opener for me to see just how many calories some foods have. I love the frequently used foods function that starts building a list for you of foods that you eat often. It does take a little effort but it's worth it. You'll do great....keep your goal in mind.:flowerforyou:

    You guys are great. It encourages me to see how much you all have lost already. I look forward to making one of those sliders for myself and seeing it move toward my goal. I am psyched!:flowerforyou:
