Taking control

I am 50 years old and just recently lost my husband of 27 years. I have struggled with my weight for, well always. I have about 80 pounds that I need to loose. I think I have tried every diet known and then a friend told me about my fitness pal. I downloaded it and started using it last week. I am down 3.6 pounds and loving it. It is the one thing I actually feel like I am controlling in my life right now.
