Anyone from NY/NJ/CT on here ?

I was born in Bergen Country NJ and moved to Hartford County CT in 2006. Turning the big 50 thus year. Have been a yo-yo dieter most of my adult life, tried everything from Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach and gluten free. Lose the weight but put it back on over time. Now trying to lose 50 lbs through old fashioned healthy eating and exercise. Bought a Garmin Vivosmart HR on Saturday and found this app. While I hate logging my food, I do think it is what I need to do and so far like MFP. Started Jan 4 and down 13.4 lbs...
