Hi everyone! I'm Carrie...
I'm pretty new to the site. I found the site because of the app on my new android phone. I'm loving it. So much easier than carrying around a book to write all my food in!- and not nearly as embarrassing! I use to do WW, but don't want to spend the money on it anymore. My favorite part about WW was the support system. I…

My goal is to lose 50 by summer and another 20 by august.…

Hello to All
I joined this website at the urging of my 27 year old Daughter. She had joined and enjoyed it so much. Great choice! Back in 2001 I had lost 50 pounds. Through the years and from different events in my life i.e. marriage and 2 more babies, I have gained every pound back. I really am disappointed in myself, but what can ya…

Introducing Me!
So, do I need to eat my exercise calories? Only joking! That seems to be the most popular question by far so I thought I'd raise your heart rate a little (it all helps)! So, this is the bit which is all about me! I've been a member here since the summer, but it's only now that I've decided to really start putting the…

fats (they don't add up!)
Hi, I am a Newbie, Using this for a few weeks - on my mobile phone primarily. When I look at "Total Fat (g) the overall goal (for me) says 40, Yet when I look at each individual fat type (Saturated, Polyunsat. and Monounsat.) they each have "(g)" next to them... but the goals for each (respectively) are 13, 100 and 100 -…

New guy here!
Hello everyone. I have been using this for about 2 weeks now. I really like how it keeps you accountable for what you put in your body. I do need some friends for the encouragement and that extra push they provide. Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone!

Sup Peeps
Technically I am not overweight. But at a very young age I've wanted to model. I could've too but I broke my leg twice in a year and became depressed. I then started to show signs of compulsive overeating. It stopped, thank God but it left me 20 pounds heavier than I would like to be minimally. But upon receiving a smart…

New new new :D
Hi! My name is Lindsay, and I'm brand new to this site, and to calorie counting/weight watching as well. I've never had to really try to be thin, it just happened as a product of youth. I find, though, that as I go further into my twenties, it's harder to eat the way that I used to, while maintaining a healthy weight. So,…

I am a mother of 3. I have struggled with my weight for the past few years. I never considered myself a "fat" person until about a year ago.

Hi all. I'm 30 years old looking to lose my baby weight (and then some). My son will be two in April and I finally found the motivation to get down to at least my pre pregnancy weight.

Eating your exercise calories!!

Happy New Year
Looking for others to share my experiences and draw inspiration from. Set some serious goals for 2011. In the past, goals related to exercise and diet always seemed like I was just concerned with my appearance and I never really made the tough decisions necessary to accomplish them as I didn't see them as high value. I'm…
