    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :love:
    Your hopes WILL pay off this time! MFP REALLY, REALLY, DOES WORK! :happy:
    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! :wink:
    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! :noway:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:

    Thank you both for the welcome. I, too, welcome fellow venting.:happy: That is a great idea about weighing before. I will start to do that now! It is really eye-opening how the seemingly innocent calories add up! Here's to hoping and change! :wink:
