I was directed to this site last week and have been using it faithfully so far. I just love it. I'm actually thinking about what I'm going to eat because I know I'm going to have to look at it on here. Sometimes I type something in before I eat it and when I see the calculations that come up, I'm shocked and find something healthier!:noway:

I've always hated exercise, but now I'm motivated. I don't know why this makes such a difference, but it does.

I homeschool my son and that will make finding time to exercise a little more of a challenge, but it won't be an excuse because I NEED to do this!

I have Adult Cystic Fibrosis and some other health issues that make it hard for me to exercise and yet the conditions are better when I exercise. I'm hoping that the weight loss will make a huge difference in how I feel and the longevity of my life. I'm so tired of feeling fat and looking fat:embarassed: , of not having any clothes that fit! I have lost 1 lb this last week and have 49 to go!:happy:
