Hello my names Michelle and I'm a dieter...

This will be the second summer that I've noticed the skin on my neck folding over itself and making a sweat spot. I have a feeling that if I ignore this minor discomfort I may…

I've exercised off and on over the past 10 years but have not been consistent. I've discovered that…

I have Celicac Disease which is a Gluten allergy to wheat, I am very used to reading labels for ingredients but have never payed attention to the calories or carbs. I…

Hello New yesterday.
Like the format of food/exercise diary. Need to lose 20-25 pounds. Did so about 2 years ago and now it is past time to get the rest off. What I have been doing is eating and drinking almost whatever I want and using exercise to maintain my weight. Time to get serious. I am in great cardiovascular shape and in good shape…

Hello - I'm a new Member
I'm 60 and I need to get back into my smaller clothes which is only about 15-20 lbs. I've just been enjoying sweets etc. It just takes getting your mind right and will-power. I'm to that point and from this day forward I WILL eat properly. I'll be walking my dog Buster more now that the weather is warming up. He takes me…
