Hi everyone, my name is Mianna and I'm from Minnesota. I'm new to counting calories but have been doing it for 2 weeks now and have lost 6.4 pounds of my 90 pound goal. I have fibromyalgia and am a new college graduate, single mom and have a new goal to live a healthier life.

I hope this website will work!

    Congrats to you! My big revalation came about half a year ago, for some reason after I would lose all the weight, I would slide right back into my old eating habits and the weight would come right back on. I don't know why it never occured to me that to keep the weight off, I had to eat a certain amount of calories to stay where I was. Well, I know better now, and as much as calorie counting sucks, it is the only way it works, and it's a whole lifestyle change more then anything. Now that it has all come together in my head, I am ready to do this the right way and just change my life.

    Congrats again, and keep it up! I also have about 90lbs to lose and this time I will get back to the way I was, and keep it off.
