Hi All! I actually checked out this site last summer when I discovered the app on my phone ... I haven't used the site, though, and have finally decided to give it a try. I've been struggling with my weight for years. I have been attempting to lose the same 20 or so pounds for what feels like forever! I'm always hopeful that I will get this weight off. I have a healthy diet, and I workout regularly. Over the past couple of years, I've been trying to mix it up a bit. Running has always been my activity of choice, but I've added in strength training, and most recently, I've been working out to Jillian's 30-Day Shred (level 3), as well as running as often as I can. I'm looking for the magic formula that will work for my body. I think I probably still have to include more cardio than I am currently doing, because the scale isn't moving. I am really frustrated, because it just seems so hard even though I feel like I'm doing everything right.

That said, I have never really been one to keep track of my food, so I'm starting today! I'm hoping it will be the answer for me. If anything, I feel I probably don't eat enough! In the summer, I did track my food for a couple of days, but I noticed that when I included my exercise, I was given more calories ... this seems wrong to me ... but maybe that's my problem (?)

Any advice people can share would be really appreciated. I'll check out this site a little more, too, as I'm sure much has probably already been written about what works ...

I look forward to getting to know all of you out there!
