    Hello and welcome! :flowerforyou:

    You can do this! It is a process. Just take your time and learn. By understanding the why's and how's of food and how our bodies work, you will understand better what you need to do!!

    I always say that if you treat your body well, it will reward you! I know mine has, despite the years of abuse I put it through by eating so horribly and not exercising! :happy:

    Good luck!!
    -Tam

    just found the site - i need to lose weight because all my clothes wont fit - thats it - where did my other body go. All those "only just 1" have obviously done damage to my waitstline - so hard to be in yr 50's and look in the mirror and not recognize my body anymore.

    :glasses: Hi there - we are in the same boat together so we must stay strong for everyone - we must appreciate ourselves and love us as we are - it is hard but we will persist. NOw if only the cravings were not there. Right?

    Hi, 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! :noway:
    Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works.
    Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP!
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:

    Don't worry about it, with MFP, you WILL "recognize your body" again! Just make good food choices, practice moderation (MOST of the time!) get some exercise, and drink lots and lots of water. That's all there is to it! :smile:
    PS. I always recommend to the newbies to log all your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, when it's too late and you're WAY over! :laugh:
