Hello everyone -- I'm new here, and enjoying the site and the Android app quite a bit. I have lost and gained and lost and gained over the years (I hit 50 last year) and the ONLY thing that really works for me is a food diary, which is made really easy with the app.
When I started this I had weighed more than IO ever have in my life -- 245 or so -- a stomach bug (which was NO fun) dropped me almost 10 pounds, and I decided to keep that off, and start paying attention again to see where I can go.
As always, I was AMAZED how much I had been eating without really realizing it -- and it's no wonder I was gaining. Add to that some pretty bad sleep apnea, and it was a lose-lose situation.
I get a CPAP in a week or so, so hopefully better sleep will help my metabolism, and along with watching my intake I might starting dropping some weight!!
