Hallo the house!
I'm Melonie, a 48 year old mom of two girls. My current goal is to shed 20 lbs gained through a combination of factors over the last 5 years or so. I've been logging my food pretty consistently for 3 weeks now, and finally decided to participate in the forums for inspiration, suggestions for navigating minefields of misinformation, and general support.

Hi there! Welcome😊
I literally had an account open here for 3 years before I participated in the “community” aspect of this site. It wasn’t until I did that I found it made a big difference. The support here is great!1 -
