    Hey I'm new here too. Didn't even figure out how to introduce myself yet! I need lots of help and motivation. My husband says he loves me but I feel disgusting. Have about 132 lbs to loose. Lets go us!

    That's your first mistake, sweetie! Don't feel disgusting about yourself! Feel confident in the way you look! Think of this as improving how amazing you already look!! :) good luck!!

    Hello!
    I started in September so I am relatively new too. I come from a big family. I am #7 out of 8 children. I have lost and gained a lot of pounds over the years, but this time I have a different motivation. My oldest brother almost died last year. He was overweight. On top of heart disease and diabetes he had a stroke. I started thinking about my parents. My Dad had adult onset diabetes and died of heart failure and my Mom had a massive heart attack. Another brother lost a tor due to diabetes. I figured my odds are not good. If I get older and develop diabetes it will be my own fault if I don t start to make some changes now.
    I set a simple goal of losing a pound a week. I also think that I will always use this app to track what I eat. I don't have a scale at home so I don't know how much weight I have lost, but my clothes are really getting loose. I am going to have to buy a smaller size.
    My fear of weight related diseases and actually seeing their effects on my parents and brothers has really motivated me. Some days are better than others but I keep looking at the long term goal of better health
    Hope this motivate you to never give up!
