    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
    OH YA, you WILL lose weight, and it WILL also definitely give you more energy! :wink:
    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:

    I agree it is definitely easier to enter foods BEFORE they are eaten. I plan out what I intend to eat. It doesn't always end exactly the way I want, but if I go into the day with a plan and a caloric map then I am much more likely to end at or under my calories then if I try to keep track and then enter them at the end of the day. It is especially helpful for me if I am planning on eating foods that I am not used to eating. Best luck everyone!

    Welcome to MFP: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 :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Think of this as a new way of life, not just a temporary diet.

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

    Find a group on the message boards and check in with them every day. It helps to have some new friends who want to hear about your weight loss journey every day.
