    Hi Bentley, nice to meet you!
    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!
    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!
    Also, drink lots of water, that seems to help alot too. :drinker:

    My husband and I usually have the same meals. I just use the "I can't believe it's not butter" spray, while he uses the real deal! :laugh:
    Some nights though, if I haven't eaten a salad for lunch, and don't have that many numbers for supper and my snack later, I'll have something light, like a Lean Cuisine, and he has baby back ribs.
    But, like I said, we USUALLY eat pretty much the same things. It's easier that way, since I'd be drooling over his if he had something I wanted! :laugh:

    I do a chicken burger (I think they taste sooooo much better than the turkey!) while my husband has a beef burger. And I have Lays light potato chips while he has the full calorie version.
