Hi all, this is my second week and I like it! I joined so I could use on my iphone was using CalorieKing Aust but they dont have a mobile app so decided to check this out! I find planning ahead and logging BEFORE I eat motivates me to eat only what I have logged. I am looking for some friends to add to my list - I have none :sad:
Would love to share the experience with someone as my friends and family really dont do a good job of supporting me!
I am a 40 year old Mum from Canberra, Australia have about 30kg to lose till I am the "recommended" ideal weight.
I am hoping that an August trip to Bali will give me some motivation to try and look better in a cossie!
Would love to hear from some lovely ladies with similar goals so we can motivate eachother and am really interested in sharing recipes! :happy:
Look forward to hearing from you!

    Hi There,

    I'm new too - downloaded the app last week on my new IPhone.

    I lost about 5 stone last year on my own and then nothing for about 6 months, in fact probably put 1/2 stone back on. I've stepped up the excercise with running 3 or 4 times per week. Did a 5k charity run last week no problems and have a half marathon lined up in June. I already Kayak so am fairly active apart from my job which keeps me desk bound most of the day.

    I Really need to lose about another stone as according to my BMI at 26 I'm still overweight. I am diabetic too so this brings added complication as I have to keep eating to keep my Blood sugars constant.

    Since starting the running, I'm really hungry sometimes, maybe when my Blood sugars drop too much but the top and bottom of it is I appear to be eating like a pig during the evenings. The day is not a problem but its when the kids are in bed, all chores done and telly goes on.

    Anyway,

    The App is great and I'm hoping we can support each other on the forum,
    Carl

    Hi
    I've just started on this site, down loaded the app several weeks ago but never got going. I'm not sure how you add friends but would like to meet people on here to keep motivated. I'm in the UK as well & approaching 40, really want to loose 2 stone by October but not sure I have the willpower :( Look forward to hearing from you & other members x

    Welcome. My husband and I live on 5 acres in a small town named St. David, Arizona (USA)--I know,---where the heck is St David?! Well, most folks know Tombstone,Az and we live about 16 miles outside of Tombstone. Anyway, we are both doing this Journey together and have a lot to lose. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like, and we can keep supporting each other throughout our weight loss journey. Best of luck to you!

    Hello and welcome! You will love the extra support and motivation that your new found friends will give to you each and every day. Just remember to log every morsel. Hard sometimes, but the app is a great tool. I will sit down to log and the next thing I know an hour has passed because I'm busy checking message boards, recipes and encouraging and supporting my friends. I'm sending you out a friend request and always looking for new ones myself:flowerforyou: Best of luck on your journey!

    Feel free to add me. I am about to hit 40, from the US and would like to lose 50 pounds.
    I joined about 3 or so weeks ago so I don't have a ton of friends yet either.
    I am loving this app and site tho. Good luck!

    Hi all!

    I'm quite new too, have a shedload to lose (so it seems to me!), and am rapidly approaching 48 - happy to be chums with people, so feel free to send requests! NicMacc - I've sent you one too!

    Good luck to everyone on your journeys (am I the only one who finds it exciting, yet strangely scary?!)!
