Decided today is the day to get serious, and try getting rid of the spare tire around my waist, my weight has been up and down all my life, In the past I have been able to lose it, but it is just sooooooooooo much work to keep it off for me. But I really don't like being in the obese categorie, and besides I feel like crap. So this food diary seems like a good idea, I hope it is as helpful as I think it will be.

    Hi Debi, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    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:
