    Hello and welcome. I have been here a few weeks and have really enjoyed all the motivation. I too have put my own health and self on the back burner for so many years. Often I catch myself mid day and think, "what have I done for myself today" and that is why I am here. I found this app on my cell and then follwed up on the computer cite... LOVE IT and it is amazing. Good luck to you and be strong.

    This site is fantastic! I have been on a few diet programs in my life, but this is the first time I have been completely confident that I can lose and maintain for the rest of my life. Give yourself time to master the routine of using it-it's not hard, and gets easier and easier. I would recommend the Taste of Home Comfort Foods Diet cookbook. It has a ton of low calorie, great tasting recipes that are easy to prepare and great for a family. Good luck! Stick with it!
