hello

HI, I am new to this site. It was suggested to me by some friends. I am looking to loose about 50 pounds and have been struggling for about 2 years. I have not gained but I also have not lost. I run about 4 miles and just recently started weight training but still no change. I"m hoping by looking at what I eat I will see I am doing somethig wrong. I see the add for that weight loss product on CBS and was wondering if anyone used it or could recommend a jump start method for me.
thanks so much

Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou: You don't need any "jump start methods", they never really last! :noway:
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:
