    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! :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:

    Hello my name is Kim and my daughter in law just helped me to sign up.
    I am actually really thrilled with this site already, its very user friendly.
    I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalsia and was told to get moving - gently- and cut out sugar, white flour, rice, bread and potatoes... Welll... I need help and motivation, so when Courtney said you have to check out this site... here I am... I am hoping to loose weight and keep moving, and eventually my grandbaby and I will fit in the same picture frame :laugh:
    I'm looking forward to some positive happenings :smile:

    I love your reply. I also believe through God all things are possible. It was my mother's favorite saying and she said it often... now I hold it as a mantra close to my heart. Thank you! I want so much to be healthy again.
