I just found this site yesterday. I have dieted on and off my entire life. Only to gain back ;-(
I have always been a carb counter. It works, but once you start eating carbs again it all comes back on. I am sure many of you can relate to this!

So, I have decided to count calories this time. I truly believe that when it comes to food and dieting that I am an "alcoholic". If I eat something that is not on my "diet", no matter how big or small, I "fall off the wagon" and eat everything! Once I have one of those days, I just never can get right back on track. I am so hoping that this site will help me stay on track and be healthy again!

I'll also admit this...I need lots of encouragement and sometimes a good "kicking" to get me going! I look forward to sharing this journey with all of you!

    Feel free to add me too. What I like about this site is the support people give you. Regardless of how my day goes, I log everything. If I'm over, I'll learn for the next day. Just post everything & use that as motivation. Do you really think that I wanted to post the photo of me in the pool lol

    If you can get it, use the phone app. This is where I log most of my meals. You can even scan the barcode & it'll enter the info....That can be good or bad lol

    I wish you the best!

    I downloaded the phone app yesterday! I am doing the grocery shopping this weekend, cleaning out the fridge and cabinets and starting the new way of eating on Monday! I know..I know...but in my mind it has to be on a Monday ;-)

    A weekend may not be the best time to start anything new, so Monday makes sense to me. I use the phone app a lot, it is great for scanning bar codes. Feel free to add if you are looking fro help along the way. Good luck with your journey.
