Hi - great site
Hi all, joined the site to keep track of what I'm eating as I change my diet. Find it really useful and simple to use and look forward to adding my foods each day. I'm also on an exercise routine for cardio and fat burning (and toning) so between the two I hope to loose 2lbs a week. Keeping the log on this site makes it…
