Hi everyone. My name is Tammy and I live in Delaware. This site and the phone apps are awesome and so helpful. I was always active and physically fit. I had about 10% bodyfat, could do 103 pushups in 2 minutes, 1 armed pullups, and ran a 10k in about 42 minutes. I was also in the military. As I got older I started developing more and more problems. I have RA, osteoarthirits, Lupus and syringomyelia. Needless to say these issues put a damper on physical activity; especially the spinal issues. I have put on some excess weight over the years and it's like a vicious cycle. The more weight I put on, the worse I feel and the less motivated I am. Well my partner and I have changed our diets and are going to start working on some low impact excercies that I can do. I came upon the app for this site by chance searching on Google Play. The phone app is a miracle. I love the bar code scanner. It makes tracking your calories and such so simple. This site does everything, and more, than weight watchers online does and it's free. I'm super motivated and if anybody needs some positive talk, let me know. Together we can all do this!!!!!!
