Hey,
I just downloaded the app last week and figured I'd introduce myself as I figure I'll be sticking around doing this. I am a jr high wrestling coach and was not in good shape this year so now that the year is over I'm looking at losing about 30 lbs to get back to a healthy weight where I can get back to wrestling with the guys during practice (the other coaches are those fat coaches that just it on the wall and blow a whistle, I don't want to be THAT coach).

Well as you can guess, I'm a guy (I didn't see a lot of guys posting, but hey, I'm all for talking to a bunch of women. I found the app because one of the women I work with has it and she said it worked for her.

Well, thats it.

Talk to everyone later, add me if you wish.

-JOHN

    Hi all! I recently joined via the phone app but love the additional resources on the web. I started my diet/excercise endeavour 12/27 and am down 11.7 pounds with 24.3 to go. Having access via phone is helping keep me accountable for what goes in my mouth:)

    Welcome John! I get it with the not wanting to be the "coach on the wall". I am doing this because I didn't want to be the "mom on the wall" anymore! Good luck!!
