    Good morning everyone!
    I'm Linda. 39 yrs old. Work full time as a nurse. Mother of active 4 yr old, coparent my 2 neices with sister who is a recent widow, and take care of my aging mother....so I'm busy!!
    After my brother n law passed away from unhealthy living last year I decided to make a change and get healthy again for myself and especially for my son!
    This June it will be a year since i started. I had a 55lb goal and I only have 10more pounds to go!!!
    This is an amazing app to keep track of intake. I'm always surprised at how fast calories add up. If you log in everyday good or bad you will see a difference. Also find fun things to do to keep you active. I started off exercises 3 x week and now up to 6x a week. I am constantly finding different things to do alone or with my son and nieces. Those calories burned ALSO add up.
    I now average about 1lb a week weight loss.
    Focus more on your health and how you feel after you workout or eat well.
    I'm also just under 5'8. CW 184 GW 175.
    Ultimately my goal is 145lbs. But I focus on 10lbs at a time, that seems to keep me encouraged and motivated.
    I hope some of that helps.

    Thanks for the encouragement!!! I like the idea of 10lbs at a time.

    I'm 20, 5'2"and genetics/typical young metabolism have never been something I could relate to. I weighed myself after Easter and wanted to slap myself for weighing 159.5 lbs. I had no choice but to start eating better the next day for my own well bring. As of last Sunday, I weighed in at 154.1 and I'm hoping to be under 150 before the end of the month. I joined the "20 lb by 4th of July challenge" hoping I'll weigh in at 135 by the 4th of July! You should think about joining! My longer term goal by the end of the summer is to make it down to 125 lbs. good luck!
