Hello! I just discovered this app on my iphone and I love it. Best part- it was free! I just discovered the site as well. I logged in all of my food and exercise and managed to stay under my caloric intake by 9 calories. I know I probably always go over. I hope this tool and site help me to realize just how much I'm eating and make better choices. I just bought the Jillian MIchaels' 30-Day Shred DVD and hope to be consistent. I am a mom to a 3-year-old. Would love to make new friends on here to encourage.

    Today was my first day of "changes". I bought the 30 Day Shred about a month ago, but still haven't opened it.....

    I can definitely see why this site is so addicting. I'm so glad I found it! I was on myspace (first time in forever!) and saw where a girl had a ticker from this site on her page. I decided to check it out. Then I found the app for my phone. I actually stayed under my calorie goal by 8 calories! I am excited about starting my weight loss journey. I don't have that much to lose, but I haven't been able to get rid of these last 11-13 lbs for YEARS!!

    Today is my first day as well. So far so good for me, hope so for you too! Feel free to share words of wisdom, encouragement, or just want to vent, as I will as well. Congrats, keep up the good work.

    Good luck!!! I am happy to provide encouragement (I need it too!!). Being a mom sure makes it tougher on us. Eating right is the easy part for me. Making my self exercise seems to be the harder part for me.

    Tonight I"m going to try to add all of you to my friends. I'm at work (on lunch) and I forget how to do it right now!

    Janamuma-I agree- I definitely find it easier to cut down on bad foods and not overeat (most of the time!) but finding time to exercise is sooo hard! I did a WInsor Pilates ab video the other day and my daughter (who's 3) joined in! It was sooo funny!

    Would you be interested in doing the Shred together? I need someone to hold me accountable!

    Yesterday was my first day too. I just got a new iphone last Friday and found the app as well. Good luck! Here's to all of us succeeding!
