Welcome! You will find lots of information and support here. My best advice is to watch your portions, drink lots of water, and don't underestimate exercise--- not only does it help you lose weight, it makes you feel great emotionally and physically. And finally, don't think of it as a diet, think of it as a lifestyle!

I am new here too! I am excited to have a new group to help support me and keep me motivated. I have been working on this for 4 weeks now and have had great success with counting calories, I know, Old Fashioned, but by golly when you stick to it - it works!
I do 1500 a day, some days I actually come in under - teh first few days were tough! But now it is pretty smooth sailing and I am seeing consistent loss. My husband is currently deployed so I joined here in hopes that when he comes home I can stay on track and not let him de-rail me! He says he will support me, but it just never seems to work out that way!
Thanks in advance for your support!
