Hey there
My name is Anna and I am new here . So far I am liking everything about this place, especially the tools.Who ever started this place, Im glad I found it .And I am hoping to make this my morning coffee spot.
I am in need of shedding about 60lbs, give or take a few. Or I would like to be back into a size 6/8 by January. I hope to get to know some of you here , and maybe make a friend along my way.

    Hi Anna, 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:
