I heard about this website from one of my scrapbooking sites and decided to give this a try. I've tried WW and lost 20 pounds only to gain back 15 of it a year later. My goal this time is to try to do this myself and keep it off. I live in UT and the weather is finally starting to get nice so I can spend more time outside.

Can't wait to "meet" you all.

    Hi Stacy, and welcome to THE best site on the web!
    I've ALSO done the WW thing, SEVERAL times over the years, as well as just about everything else out there, including hypnosis, TWICE! Nothing worked though until I came here to MFP! It's the greatest! :love:
    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, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:
