    Hello all, I am brand new, and looking for a weight loss solution/lifestyle change. I have tried other programs, but nothing has seemed to work long term. I am saddened that I have gained 20 pounds since my wedding less than a year ago. I don't want skinniest day to have been my wedding day. I'm hoping this site can help. Thanks. PS. I'll probably ask lots of questions. Thank you in advance for your help and support.

      Hello and Welcome :flowerforyou: :bigsmile:
      MFP is the greatest diet aid tool I have ever found. :heart: :smooched: If I had to write all this stuff down....well..you know- I haven't got the time, much less remember. :noway: Keep yourself accountable. Look up calories in foods your not sure about. Processed sugars and HFCS high fructose syrup are bad! :explode: Stay away from fast foods unless you know how many calories and what kind are in them. This is really about changing your life and way you eat forever. :wink: Grabbing food for comfort or boredom is no longer an option! :noway: You must be aware of what, when and where you are eating. :bigsmile: :huh: :bigsmile:
      Been there and done it for 25 years of gaining weight! :frown:
      So get started! Get psyhced! Get pumped! Grab your water bottles for plenty of filling/flushing H2O!
      We can do it!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :smooched:

      Thank you so much! Water consumption is a big hurdle for me. Thanks for reminding me of a good goal!

      Okay, first question: how do I get that cool little "pounds lost" counter that's attached to your post?
