    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! :love:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:

    Welcome and congratulations on getting a personal training and joining the site. Tracking your food on MFP will really help you make better choices and build healthy habits that STICK.

    Most importantly, be kind to yourself and dont get discouraged. You CAN do it.

    Good Luck :flowerforyou:

    Hi! Welcome to MFP!

    You can do this! Food is not in control of you anymore. Just keep that in mind. If you treat your body well (with the right foods and exercise), it will reward you! :flowerforyou:

    Good luck!!!
