    Hi OKTbear, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :love:
    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! :wink:
    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! :noway:
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:

    Welcome. You came to the right place.
    I have received more valuable information
    here as well as support. The folks are wonderful.
    For me, the knowledge of what I was eating
    as far as number of calories began to turn things
    around. For so long, I just didn't realize what
    I was consuming but my body kept perfect score.
    I have to also!

    I hope you look forward to your weight loss
    journey and success!

    Welcome to MFP

    I've been doing this for 10 weeks and have lost enough weight to buy some smaller clothes:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    I've learned a lot from MFP

    Here are some things that work for me:

    *I plan my whole day's eating in advance so I can make changes, if needed, to be sure I don't overdo and have enough calories for the cereal and soy milk I like at night
    *I weigh or measure everything because, although I've eaten healthy for years, my portion control has been a problem
    *drink lots of water:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
    *I try to learn from everyone
    *I found some exercise that I like so I do it regularly.
    *I do this one day at a time

    You can do it.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Congratulations on your choice to better your life!

    Eat well, and track your calories, weigh yourself weekly (although I admit--I weigh daily! :embarassed: ) and measure, measure, MEASURE your body parts!

    If you like to read inspiring blogs, take a look at mine :wink: located here at MFP (the address is in my signature).

    Friend me, if you like. :smile: I am always here to listen and support! :flowerforyou:
