Hey! I am sooo Happy I found this site! it's is helping me so far with keeping track of my food...I found I had to eat alot more then I was to get all my calories in!

My ideal weight is a long way to go but I have to keep reminding myself I didn't put it all on in a week and it isn't going to come off that quick! I tend to fall off the band wagon due to bad knees (born with them) BEAUTY IS PAIN and I hope I can talk with some of you on here and encourage you and help with your Weight loss! BTW I am in Sask, Canada (but they didn't have canada provinces on here :( ! )

    Hi Susie, 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:
