Hi Everyone, I have had this app on my phone for over a year and all I did with it was load the information on my workouts. I tried using the diary for my food but I lazed out. I lost weight and put it back on. Then I lost weight and put it back on. You can see where I'm going with this. The truth is, I have never really talked to people about my weight, my diet or whether or not I was happy in my own skin. It was a secret that I was overweight. Lol. My secret. Shhhh my husband doesn't even know I'm overweight. The mirror knows and so do my clothes. So I decided to try something I have NEVER done, talk with other people about it. Get support and give support. I thought that if I could somehow remove the emotional stigma of my weight and my body that I might possibly feel more free and quit hating myself for failing at this whole weight loss thing.

    Hello,
    You've taken the first step, which is admitting you have a problem.

    I love what you said about your weight being a secret, haha.

    Being honest with a support group on this website or elsewhere is incredible, all you'll find is motivation and words of encouragement.

    Avoid the trolls, they're stupid.

    Add me as a friend if you want.. And anyone else can add met too for that matter <3
