First time here

Hi everyone. My name is Sylvia (Syl for short) and this is my first time here although I have been using the mobile app for about 4 weeks now. I'm happy to report that I have lost 7 lbs in this last month.

I have been overweight most of my adult life and have done many other "diets" in the past only to regain the weight once I stopped eating or not eating what was on the prescribed program. I am finding this to be a much easier way to lose the weight and change my lifestyle. I'm not forbidding anything, I just make sure that if I do indulge, say in a few jelly beans (one of my favorites) that I add it to what I've eaten and sometimes when I see what that will do to me calorie-wise I decide it's not worth it. Or if I do decide to indulge then I have to do more exercise to make up for it. I also like looking and comparing different foods and the calroies and making my decision on what to eat that way.

I have to say this has been prety painless so far and I feel it is something I can do for the rest of my life.
