Hi, my name is Donna. I’m new – I found myfitnesspal as an app on my Droid phone. I would like to lose @ 50 pounds. I’m a huge stress eater. I grew up hearing, “put something in your stomach – you’ll feel better”. My husband and I both recently started over again in new jobs (we both got laid off). He is now an over-the-road truckdriver, and I only see him on weekends. We have two sons – 20 and 15. Both are Type 1 Diabetics, and my youngest son is autistic. I’ve also gone back to school to finally get my degree at 52 and I attend classes online. I have straight A’s so far! I’ve been married 21 years. I live in Rochester, NY, and I love cats, reading, and gardening. I’m looking for some buddies to help me with the weight loss thing. I’ve done WeightWatchers in the past, but I did not like the new PointsPlus program as well as the old plan. So far, I really like the website and the phone app. I’m excited to be getting started. Hi, everyone!

    Hi there Donna. I've been on here about a year, and i love it! Having said that, i gave up on logging my food intake, because i found it did not work for me, but i log my exercise, and that keeps me focussed on my journey.

    I'm a teacher in Ireland. Feel free to add me to your list if you wish.

    Hi,
    I've been here about 3 weeks. I've done all the diets and lost and gained it all back. My life is so busy with my kids...an 8 year old girl and 4 1/2 year old triplets, and my mom. I have been taking care of everyone else for so long that I wasn't taking care of me. From my first post here, I felt support...and have lost 10 pounds! I have a long way to go, but I love the support and knowledge that people have here.
    I'd love to be friends and lend support. I also have an autistic child.
    I'll send a friend request.
    TripMom
