    Welcome. I'm new too and I think this is a great place to be! I've come to the conclusion that logging your food BEFORE you eat it is a great idea.... it makes you much more aware of what you're actually consuming. Good luck!

    You figured out the ticker already, so you're well on your way!!!

    Welcome to MFP - it really is a terrific site, and if you use it, it will change the way you think about and eat food, and monitor yourself so that you can figure out what your goals really are.

    Good luck on your journey!!

    :flowerforyou: i love being able to look at menus to places and figuring out what i'm going to eat ahead of time. my son is into sports and we are on the go all the time and tend to eat out a lot especially during the week so this will help a lot. the excersise log is great to it motivates me to keep doing more! thank you for your support!:happy:

    welcome

    luck has nothing to do with it at all

    it takes hard work and well thought out food choices

    enjoy the ride
