So I've had the app on my phone for a while trying to learn how to track a calories at the advice of my nutritionist. I just recently tried the website to see what the difference was. At any rate I am ready to lose weight and my first goal is to be able to shop in a normal clothing store and say good bye to the Big and Tall and Plus size stores I have to shop at now.

So far I've gone from a size 56 to 50 pants and my normal 5X shirts are being replaced with 4X. I also just recently broke the 400 lb mark so I bought some scales in order to weigh at home and as I come into the plateau stages or have a moment of weakness I'll snap out of it.

I'm sure I'll be using this outlet as a place to ask for help and maybe brag on myself from time to time when i hit mile stones.

So all in all I'd like to say Hello

    I couldn't have said it better myself. When I downloaded the app on my iPhone I was reminded to visit the website. I must admit I was very intimidated by "calorie counting" at first. However now that i have been doing it for a few days it isnt so bad, it is just like counting points. Good luck to all

    Awesome job! We are glad to have you here, and trust me, the more friends you have for support the better. I just purchased my first outfit Saturday, that I didn't have to go to the plus size dep't to buy. It has been over 20 years since I was last able to shop in the Womens Dep't! It was such a good feeling. Feel free to send me a friend request if you'd like some extra support! Together we can do anything!!

    Congrats on your success!! I, too, found the app first for my phone and then went in search of the website. Love this site! I have been working on this new lifestyle for a week and a half and have lost 3 lbs already. (It's okay to brag!!) :wink: Good luck with your new journey!
