i've been one to have trouble with my weight ever since i was a young child. i just started using the app today (11/13/2015) and so far i like it. my goal to start off with is to try to get 25 pounds off. i wanna feel good about myself and feel more confident in my own skin. i really just needed the push and i'm doing this for me.

    Excellent. Remember it is not a race and set reasonable goals for yourself. Best wishes on your success.

    Hi. I just stared today also. (11-13-15) we have similar goals. I'm about 40-50 lbs overweight. I'm trying to keep it real & lose about 25 lbs by March/April.
    I hope we are both successful!

    Ok. My post is above but my name is jenn not William. How did that get there & how do I change it? I'm having trouble navigating this site.

    Apparently, you are logged in under someone else's account. Husband? Boyfriend? Random stranger? Either that, or your split personality is really messing with you!?!?!

    Kidding aside.

    The 2 ways to fix it are to log out and log back in with your account, or go into Settings (from the desktop site) and Change Username.

    Thank you Jmule24, Derf Smeggle & Jayz39! Here I am and I am wishing us all luck.

    Derf Smeggle, it may have been my other personality, lol.

    Hollymusicgirl if I hadn't seen your post I don't think I would have bothered posting anything & then I would have just deleted the app on my phone.

    Stay focused on you. Baby steps are the way to continuous results.

    Day 3 for me. I'm not doing great with my diet but I am logging everything in my food diary.
    I did force myself to go to the gym yesterday. I did 2 miles on the elliptical. Today I did a weight lifting video at home.
    I am a bartender & my regulars love to bring me delicious home cooked meals. They also love high calorie sugary shots & usually buy me one when they order one for themselves.
    Those are my two biggest obstacles.
