My name is Dave and I'm starting out on a new diet course which recommends a food journal. I am currently 231lbs and 6' tall. I hope to get down to about 175, which is where I was about 5 years ago. I do however LOVE food, and I work in the fast food industry which makes it double hard for me.

    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:

    Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate the responses. I'm supposed to be on a 1500 cal diet, but it's hard finding foods that low in calories.

    Check out the recipe section, lots of good alternatives there.

    Welcome & good luck to you! :flowerforyou:
