hello new here ...

Hi! my name is Tina. I found this website advertised at ivillage so i decided to give it a try. I am new to this whole weight loss thing and have trouble preparing healty meals due to my low budget. I would ultimately like to loose 100 lbs total.

 If anyone would like to chat or share their experiences with me add me on Yahoo.. Tinamarie2356. 

 It's nice to meet you all 

Helo and welcome to Calorie Count!
I am so glad you found us.

You will learn that it doesn't have to be difficult to prepare healthy meals even if you are on a low budget.
Check out the Food and Recipe forums for some great ideas to get  you started :)

In addition, one of the best ways to introduce yourself and start making friends is to create a profile.
This is the first chance people get to 'meet' you and learn more about you.

If you  have ANY questions as  you make your way around the site, please do not hesitate to ask.

Again, welcome and it's a pleasure to meet  you!
