Hormones outta control!
Hi all. I'm 49, almost 50, and have been gaining weight steadily as (I assume) the result of a hysterectomy in April. Up about 12 pounds from my normal weight. VERY frustrating! I work out regularly, and generally eat pretty healthy. I found this site as an app on my Android phone. I decided to make the effort to actually…

New Pal
I just joined and I pray I can change my lifestyle. It's difficult - my husband is a meat and potato eater and isn't good at being supportive. When we first met he told me I ate to much salad and that I would turn into a chicken for eating it so much. He turned me on to red meat and potatos and fried foods and he still…

Returning to Running
My name is Erin - I ran competitively only one year in college, but did very well. I have been running now for about 11 years, however, the past 3 have been very sporadic. While my weight isn't a health issue, I am heavier than I have ever been. 'Normal' for me, is considered 'underweight' at the doctors. So, now being 20…

MSN video clip guided me here...
...and I'm wondering who else saw the video article about the woman that lost 100lbs thanks to this site. I'm Nadia. I've tried Jenny Craig and battled my weight since I learned that I should be dieting (think fat jokes made by other kindergartners). I thought I finally got it licked about two years ago on JC's plan. The…

It's Okay...I'm with the Band...

First Time user
I just started this today. I started walking last night, walked 1 1/2 miles in 30 minutes. I really want to lose, but feel I will not. Either in a hurry to eat so I eat bad things or I just don't eat. Suggestions?
