in Introduce Yourself
Hi all. I've tried other calorie trackers before, but there wasn't any community to it - just me counting calories by myself on the app, which was quite lonely. I'm getting married at the end of June, so hoping to find a good, supportive base and motivation to get my health/fitness in line!

My dress isn't particularly forgiving, so I'd like to be toned and rock it. I've also struggled with both ends of the food/weight spectrum over the years, so beyond the immediate goal of the dress, I'd like to figure out a happy place for myself when it comes to food and fitness. I'm always chasing those last 5 pounds, only to be undone by ALL the Christmas cookies I can get my hands on or a rough work stretch. I'm an ICU nurse who works 12 hour shifts, 50/50 days/nights -- there's no rhyme or reason to my schedule and flipping, which reeks havoc on my body knowing which way is up.

Looking forward to working with this community, making some friends, getting healthy and supporting others in their goals too!

    Welcome, I just joined as well but not because I'm getting married LOL more like I'm getting older & wanna be able to enjoy life :smile:

    I also tried to track without a community or support with little effects, looking for others to support & encourage who want to do the same!
