Im loving this app

Options
Im over 300 lbs, and started using this app in early January (New Years resolution). I instantly fell in love with this app! Prior to using this app I tried a few other diet plans, but I never seemed to stick with it. Once I started this I thought it would be difficult, but quickly realized that it would be easier then I thought! I really dove into the whole process. I try to exercise every day. I work quite a bit and I sit at my job. Im lucky enough to work somewhere that encourages a healthy lifestyle. They have a gym and shows so we can workout while at work. When I say I workout everyday, it seems like a lot but in reality it isnt. Because of how busy I am at work I dont get to set aside time to workout, so I do 10 minutes of some sort of exercise (biking, jogging, running stairs etc...). I have goals I've set for each one, and I feel like im steadily on my way to reaching them. On my days off I increase my workout time to at least half an hour. I gotta say that I calorie count with this app almost religiously! With the help of this app Ive lost 13 lbs! There was a time where my weight started to fluctuate back and forth. I got pretty discouraged due to this. With some encouragement from my family I stuck with it and now there is almost no weight fluctuations. The last 2 weeks Ive lost 4lbs a week. I would like to continue this and with the help of this app I believe I can! Sorry if it seems as if Im just blabbering, but Im pretty excited and just needed to get this out! If you have any tips for me, please share! Thanks :)

    My best tip: don't stop! :D I sit down at work, but I try to find little things that get me moving around, like taking papers across to our other buildings rather than just scanning and emailing them, walking on my breaks, just doing tiny things that make me feel better about what I'm trying to accomplish.
