Hi everybody! This is my second day using this app and I cant tell you how refreshing and USEFUL it is! I have had weight issues for the majority of my life and have done a lot of yoyo-ing with diets. I usually get very overwhelmed and become discouraged. This site has changed my attitude about changing my lifestyle! Its so easy. Everything is there in black and white. I guess that is what Ive been missing all this time. Something to take the guess work out. Im confident that I can achieve every small goal that I set for myself. And in the end will be as healthy and as in-shape as I need to be. I am the mother to a special needs child who just turned 9 on Sunday. As he gets older and bigger, it has become increasingly difficult to lift him. He is my motivation! I have to be here for him and do the things that need to be done for him. I just wont be able to if I dont get myself together. So here it goes...I cant wait to make this my new way of life!
