Hi! I just discovered myfitnesspal from a search on weight loss apps. I LOVE it so far (even if it has only been 3 days). I'm really excited that I can track calories easily and efficiently on my phone since I'm always on the go. My goal is to feel confident in my bathing suit when I vacation in Hawaii in February :) Now I just have to stick with the plan...

    Good luck! You CAN do it. This site is amazing. My mom is a single mom, so I have a lot of respect for them. :)

    Get your kids involved. Mine now check calories and fat for me. Depending on how old they are, they can also join you when you exercise, even if it is just for a walk. Good luck with your journey!

    Thanks for all the motivation! My son is almost 9 and definitely helps me out with making good food choices and exercise. Right now it is hard because the doctors think I might have torn a tendon in my shoulder (got slammed into and fell to the ground playing soccer a few weeks ago), so getting exercise and lifting weights is a bit harder now. Been trying to walk lots, though.
