Hi! I am a 57 year old female and have been struggling with weight since college (a FEW years ago!) I have started and quit Weight Watchers several times....I am even a lifetime member, but a long way away from that goal weight. I've also joined other weight loss programs, quit, and gained the weight again +more. I have always exercised-that's not my problem. Mindless eating is. Counting calories opened my eyes to how much I actually eat! My goals are to lose 30 pounds and run a half marathon with my daughter next summer.

    Welcome! It's never too late to start. I love this site. It really helps you keep accountable and I love the app for my Droid. There just isn't any excuse for me to "forget" to add an entry. I really hope this site helps you.

    I have been using another calorie counting website, but this one has more of what I need. I learned about this one in the group I have joined at my Y that promotes healthy choices and exercise. The person who recommended it really likes it. I am looking forward to FINALLY reaching the goal I have had for years! I am so motivated and feel better already!

    Hi my name is michael and this is my first post after about a week of tracking my eating which has been an eyeopening aha so that's how I gained 30 pounds. At 58 I want my last years to be fit again and feel healthy in my own skin. I want to be able to communicate about my process and be supported in ways that I control. I think this website and Ap is a terrific way to actually be open about a very sensitive topic. I hope for some real self help.
