Just found this site by accident with a calorie counter search on Google and for an app for my iPhone.

It looks like just the thing I was looking for. I need to lose about 30 lbs.
I am tired of feeling so tired. I know it is from my diet and weight gain.

I hope to keep tracking and focused.
I have done weight loss and weight gain all my life ...I want to get to a healthy place and stay there.

Over the years I have been a 5 time graduate of WW and when I get to this place again I have 10 extra pounds added to what I originally started with.

I just turned 60 in Dec. and it is not getting any easier to get my metabolism to play along.

This seems like an extremely accountable place from what I am reading. :) so I am so happy to find you!

I'm Carol... BTW and live in MA.
nice to meet you!

    Thanks for the welcome.

    I need to really get serious about portion control, carb control and calorie reduction.
    The phone app is neat!

    have a great night!

    Welcome. I joined a month ago and I am still loving the site. I also found it by looking for a free app for my phone. It was exactly what I needed.
