hey there...

...my name is John and I have been using myfitnesspal for about 3 weeks now. I have lost 20 lbs, and my daughter, who got inspired by me losses has joined me and she lost 4 lbs last week...so very proud of her. We both want to be fit and healthy...not so much about looks for me...her maybe so...haha...but then, she is 18.

I have to say that this is the first time in my life I really feel I can maintain what I'm currently doing. I have cleaned up my eating habits immensely...but just having the app there to keep me on track helps so much...really makes me feel like my destiny is in my own hands now.

    Hi John, nice to meet you! I am newer to this site as well. but congratulations to both you and your daughter, that is wonderful to hear that you can both do this together! this app has also helped me tremendously, and i think it offers the support that i feel like i have been missing out on any other time i've tried to lose weight. So keep on this track, and keep inspiring your daughter! one day at a time :) feel free to add me if your lookin for some extra support/motivation! have a great day :)

    20 lbs. in 3 weeks is a crazy amount. Hopefully you'll stabilize and get it to about 1-2 lbs. per week. It's much better for you that way.
    How many calories per day are you eating?
