    One of MY main reasons for losing weight was because my son was getting married, and I wanted to look good for the pics! AND, I DID!!! :happy:
    Welcome to the best place 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! :wink:
    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. :smile:
    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:

    Wow....thanks so much for all the advice. This website is amazing. I am so glad I found it. I have been playing on it for about 2 hours now....:laugh: I will concentrate on favorite menus and foods. It seems like once I add them to my Food diary, it should be saved for future use. I am excited to have this tool to help me with my goal. If you did it...I can do it too. My biggest struggle at the moment is a very sore knee that is preventing me from walking and exercising at the moment, but I am determined ! Thanks again for your words.

    Welcome to MFP :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    This is a great site. Take the time to learn about all the great features and use them.
    You will succeed if you work hard.


    Take it one day at a time
    Stay open minded to new ideas
    Take baby steps
    Drink lots of water:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    It always helps me to log my food first before I eat so here are no surprises.

    Find a group to be part of and check in with them every day. There's 50+ women group on the "Motivation and Support" board. Several of the women are dealing with foot and knee problems and have been sharing about execising that doesn't include being on your feet. Check it out:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
