I've never done a site like this, but I'm hoping this helps. I was effortlessly fit and thin for what seemed like most my life and then, one day, I guess a whole bunch of things shifted, mentally, physically, emotionally, and I gained up to 60 pounds. I've been fighting with my weight for the past ... 10-12 years, and it seems to be particularly difficult since my mind, mentality, still seems to think of things the way I did when I was younger and fitter. At one point, though, after about 6-7 years of effort, I was back. I felt great and swore I wouldn't let myself go back down that nasty path. But then things shifted again and the weight started creeping back on. And then, on top of that, I gained another 40 pounds and had a beautiful baby.... My daughter's almost 2 now and will be going into daycare soon. No more excuses. I want, and need, to lose at LEAST 20 pounds. I need to change my lifestyle to be healthier and happier and feel sexier so that I can be the positive role model I'd like to be for my daughter, and to be the wife I want to be for my husband.

So I'm trying something new for me. And I really hope this helps....

    Hi! This really does help. I looked for something like this for a while and couldn't decide on which site to go with. Eventually my smart phone and the android store helped me make the choice. It's totally worth it! Being able to eat whatever you want, just watching your portions. I wish I had started sooner! :smile:

    I hear you! I'm doing something very similar, gradually put on the pounds after my two babies, not much time to spend on me and now 15 kg to lose. But my big girl is finally off to school this week, so time to get into action.... :-)
