    :drinker: Welcome. You need to stop calling it a diet and start making it a lifestyle. Good luck.

    Hi Jamie! My mane is Joyce and I also just started this week and have already lost a little over 2 pounds! I have found it amazing the difference it makes when you log in everything that goes in your mouth, I thought I was really being careful about what I was eating but the first day proved me very wrong when I actually added up the calories. Having a place to log my exercise and water has made memucvh more accountable! Good luck to you!

    Feel free to add me too. Don't think of it as a diet - think of it as adopting a new healthy lifestyle. You'll see other benefits as well as weight loss, I'm sure.

    Good luck - you can do it!

    Jaime,

    The really great news (to me) is that by joining MFP, you are no longer on a "diet". MFP is a great way to take hold of your eating habits and turn them into healthy ones. It is pure math. Follow the program, and you WILL lose weight.

    Best wishes...
