Hi everyone! I just wanted to quickly introduce myself. My name is Amanda. I am a single parent of 3 great kids! Before I had baby number 3, my weight was no issue...however since then I can't seem to lose the baby fat (and the baby is 6 and 1/2 years old) so it is time to try something new. A friend of mine suggested this website and my sister and I are working together to lose weight and hope to be each others inspiration. Right now, I feel the calories it calculated for me are a bit low so yes, I went over a hair day 1 (yesterday) but considering what I would normally intake....day 1 was great! I wish everyone the best and pray we all reach our goals.

    Hi Amanda! I'm Malinda. I've been going over my goal calories myself, but am still seeing a difference - plus, the amount I'm going over is gradually decreasing as long as I'm posting and counting everything. Just keep consistent and you'll be fine! I hope you and your sister have a wonderful time and wish you both much success!
