Listen, I am totally feeling you on this today.

Hey there and welcome! For anyone who doesn't already know if you have a "smart" phone, there is a really useful app that you can download (at least through the android market) for free! It makes keeping track of your calories, exercise, weight, and water intake a breeze on the go! Best wishes and good luck to you! :wink:

Yay! So excited for you! Keep up the good work!
