I just started a couple of days ago and am looking to learning some things in the forums to help me drop about 15 pounds IRL.

    good for you!! i think the biggest eye opener was learning how many calories and carbs are in some of the stuff you take for granted. i guess watching it all add up keeps a person in check better!! someone to be accountalble to..

    Agree - I've dropped roughly 1000 daily calories from what I was eating before I started tracking. It's amazing just how fast they add up when you aren't worrying about what you are eating.

    I miss my college days where I had a metabolism so fast that I had to eat 3000-4000 calories a day just to maintain...*sigh* those were the days.
