This advice is so important. I use it to discover a wide variety of responses.

Thank you all soooo much! I've decided to calorie count and keep a journal. I think that will work best for me. I'm not sure about using online calorie trackers. I'm going to check into a few different sites though. I think writing it down will work better for me. Having the pen and paper right there w/ me at all times. I deffinately do need support. I have my best friend who is also just beginning her weight loss journey too and by coming here, I think I'm off to a great start! My best friend is doing weight watchers and is going to go to meetings. I may go w/ her for additional support and to support her as well :hug:

let us know how you are doing...you can get tons of support here and find so many REAL answers--I would say many of the ladies here at 3FC are indeed experts

I love My Fitness Pal, it's easy to use, they have a forum for support, and an app for smartphones so you can track on the go.
