Hi everyone, its my first day on this new diet method. I saw an article in a paper yesterday about a weight loss app and how it had help a girl my age achieve some great results, so i thought id give it ago. Ive become so lazy since i broke my foot a year ago and excersise is now dificult, i dont do excersise anymore, and just over 12 months ago i was a different person (in more ways than one). I was full of smiles, in the gym daily, happy, not stressed and able to sleep, lately the low feelings i have for myself havent helped, it makes that last packet of crisps or cracker extra yummy :/
I love to cook from scratch and have spent so much time on the internet the last few days coming up with some fab recipes for some fresh meal ideas. I definitely know what my weakness' are but struggle to give them up, i love currys and crisps, i dont have a sweet tooth, so chocolate isnt a sin for me.
Im really looking forward to seeing if this helps, and have sat at the laptop on this site all morning finding out how it works :D

    Welcome - if you're like me and always hated the idea of logging calories - you'll love it. It's so easy, the database is so extensive and it just makes it a pleasure to do. Best of all once you know what you're putting in your mouth and work off it comes second nature to stay within your daily total.

    Hi Zara
    Welcome to the site. I'm new too but already loving it. Being able to log everything from my phone & let the app do the sums is fab!! Spent yesterday trawling web for recipes - next job is to input them here & get cooking!!
    Good luck with your goals - I'm aiming to get back into my fave jeans that make me feel fantastic, so I know the feeling re: your dress!

    The site seems to good to be true, but its something so simple that already has made me smile, i hate drinking water with a passion, its vile but seeing that im meant to drink 8 glasses a day makes me want too. Ive managed 3 so far and im sure itl pick up as i continue to update everyday.

    According to the 'goal' page i should achieve my personal result in 6-7 weeks which is amazing if it comes true, that is something that is making me want to achieve so much more as its not that long away.

    Ive set an objective to weigh myself every two weeks from today, as i think one week may not seem to show the pounds dropping off that id like it too. So hopefully on my third weighing i should have pretty much achieved my goal :)
    Ive also treated myself to a new 'biggest loser 6 week programe' dvd and some new track pants too get motivated :)
