in Introduce Yourself
I am an older lady - retired, and in need of losing about 30# and improving overall health. My Dr. mentioned this site and tells me a few 'extra' pounds are not all that bad, but I am at my all-time high weight. Weigh more than grown sons - that is NOT good !! GO CAVS !!

    Welcome, and good luck! I'm new to this site as well, and I am loving it so far! The food diary is so helpful, and it's great you can look up any food on the calorie counter.

    Good luck!

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