Hey everyone my name is Kristen, I'm 19 years old and in college. Since I met my boyfriend of almost 5 years my weight has sky rocketed and I am the heaviest I've ever been and could imagine..... I'm terrified with myself and ready to change for him and me, so I can get back to feeling and looking sexy. I've started Zumba at my school and I LOVE it so far. I now do it at home also and am looking forward to starting daily walks. Any advice on how to gain some self control?! That's my biggest problem, I can't seem to not eat sweets or big portions and I try, but fail often.
I'm trying to loose weight the healthy way, and I'm hoping this site will help me :)
Thanks everyone.

    The main thing is to be accurate and honest with your logging. Weigh everything. Moderation is also important don't totally exclude things just have them in moderation

    Hey Kristen! I have the exact same problem! I've put on so much weight from being in a relationship and have little control over food. I found drinking herbal tea when i feel like i'm just about to binge on food, also brushing your teeth surprisingly helps. :)

    Hi Kristen,

    I'm quite new myself (3 weeks) but this app should help, I'm a lot older than you and remember the days when I was 19 and used to have to carry my calorie book, note book and a pen everywhere to write everything down! I gave up smoking 13 weeks ago and after my daughter showed me this I have lost 9lb in three weeks.
    Good luck Kristen - you can do it and this will help x
