    Welcome :smile:

    So glad to ahve you on board. The MFP community is very supportive and you'll get pleny of ideas and suggestions. The best advice I can share is to log in everyday, no matter what. Even if you don't eat as planed, or don't have time to excercise, etc, etc ALWAYS track your food and excercise. This is how you form good habits, by repeating the process often. Drink plenty of water and try new things. You'll see results, if you are consistent. Best of luck and I look forward to hearing great things from you!

    Hey there MzClark welcome to the website! Suggestions that I have used are to stay focused, use a food diary (which I am trying to be more disciplined with). You can find motivation out here...everyone has been very supportive of me. Good luck with your weight challenge.

    Hey and welcome! Enter your food. It's the biggest piece. I Learn so much by logging daily- I thought I ate within my means by guessing, but it was an eye-opener. At first I didn't get too wrapped up in the calories as much as needing to see what I was truly was consuming.
    Good luck and stick with it.
