Hi everyone! I am one of those people who knows endless information about weight loss. I listen to the podcasts about health, I read all the books, I’ve done all the programs and I’ve been exercising for quite a while. But I have not lost ONE POUND that has stayed off for more than 3 days.
So I guess it must be true, calories count! Who knew? Ha ha! I have spent so long focusing on food allergies, the right kinds of food, new kinds of exercise and mindset. Now I guess it’s time to put in the actual work of tracking and remaining under my magic number of calories.
I have two boys, 7 and 10, a husband, a dog and a love of funny movies, yoga, books, walking, cooking and the outdoors. Excited to meet some new friends here!

    Aging is a problem, less calories get burned. I found myself in the same situation. When I go off of counting calories, I end up gaining, until I start tracking calories again. Love this app, as it's helped me keep my weight off for several years now. Stick with it...

    Hi! I'm also a mom of boys.. 3 to be exact! Ages 19, 9 and 15 months lol.. I'm approaching 40 faster than I'd like (October of this year!) We have 2 dogs. In my spare time, I absolutely love reading, camping, spending as much time outside as possible, going on walks, being active with my family, and having BBQ's with family and friends, just to name a few!! I just recently met my weight goal, but I'm wanting to tone it up now, and keep it off! Lol.. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

    Boy Mom of three here, too! 14, 9 and 20 months. Trying out this Macro counting. Haven’t been on this app since 2010 and it’s definitely come a long way! My first day tracking and it’s amazingly easy! Trying to lose baby weight after my last one, hoping to get it off before I’m 40, 3.5 years to go :o I need some accountability partners on here, so add me, too!
