Hey twinky, welcome to WLF! :]
I started doing the best in my time of
dieting after coming to this site, so allow me to be the first to say a good group of supportive people can be very helpful on a
weight loss journey!
You should check out
THIS LINK to figure out your daily needs with regards to
fat,carbs, protein, and
calories. I started doing this on a regular basis recently and so far it's been working well, so if you commit to it for a while, it can become the big key to successful
weight loss.
