wow, what a site

I am new here. I have been to many web sites offering many of the things here , but am so glad to find one site that has about everything! Others were helpful ,but this one is so fast to log onto for diet and activity that I think it will actually be something I can use daily .
I have 14 lbs. to lose to reach a healthy BMI for my age. I have yo-yoed for most of my life . I do best when I am careful about carb consumption but have found I must include them to be healthy. So I can track those by checking the analysis. Do others jot what you eat on paper and enter it all at once? I have to do that some days. Some of my reluctance to count calories in the past has been the math-- carbs just seemed easier, but with this site it is all so easy. I love it so far!

Hi, rosa, glad to meet you! I am retired and home most of the day, so I log as I go...and it helps me to plan my eating for the rest of the day. I have found it very easy to do, too. And believe me, Erik is very quick to respond to any suggestions that we have about making it easier. Have you installed the eat meter? It's really a graphic way to see how you are doing. And that analysis tool is really great, isn't it? Who would ever think counting calories could be fun! And you are in such good company here. Everybody's having a good time.

Hi Rosa, I am fairly new here too. Unlike you ,i have major weight loss issues. I weighed 304 lbs when i started but now i am down to 280.5 so i feel like i am accomplishing something. Good luck to you i hope you make it.

Hi rosa

Welcome to our little world..........We are so thrilled to see you here and you will enjoy it emensly. Well my bmi index started out at 44 I should be between 19-26 in three months time i got down to 38 now that is a great feeling. You will get used to this sight very quickly and before you know it you will be enjoying your new lifestyle......

Welcome Rosa! We are a close group and everyone here is so motivating! Erik(the guy that started it all) is amazing! Anyone that would offer such an awesome site for free shows that he truly cares about us! He listens to us and thats a nice feeling! Make yourself at home and welcome! I have lost 10.5 lbs on this site since jan 1st! 11.5 more to go!

Glad you like it here! I enter everything before I cook it to make sure I'm within my allowance. Of course, this is easy for me because I'm retired and have the time. If I was working, either at a job or raising children, I probably would write it all down then enter it. I'm getting pretty good at cooking single servings instead of big batches of stuff.

This is what I am talking about . This site has great tools ,information, it is fast , free, and a great community. Thanks to all for the welcome. It is also encouraging to see that it is working so well for others.

If I can just shed (and keep off--always the hardest for me) those 14 lbs. and not do it with some silly diet where they will return. I see a lot of balance on this bd.and the attitude to lose healthfully.
