Greetings Everybody,
Newbie here from Newport News, Virginia.
I've been using this app for a couple weeks now, and so far, I've lost 6.5 pounds. WoooHooooo!

Looking forward to getting to know you all better!

    It makes weight loss soooo much easier, and it's fun. Today's my first day in the forums though. Everybody seems to be optimistic and friendly...so far. Dun dun dunnnnnnnnn. ;)

    Easier is what I'm looking for and FREE isn't too bad either. I like the breakdown of what you eat, making sure to get all your protein in and going easy on fat in take. Definitely doable.

    I like how you can customize your daily goals, and you can add a "water" counter too.

    I'll have to look for that. I'm sure there is so much more I'll come across. The community singling to be the biggest help. I've already read a few good posts. Crazy that they have mentors too.

    Mentors?? I haven't seen that yet. Kind of a neat idea though.

    Hi Tweety! To add someone as a friend, just click on their name twice, that will take you to their profile page where you can then add them as a friend. ;)

    Thanks so much...it's not letting me add on my iPad. I'm guessing maybe it works if I do it from my computer. I'll figure it out sooner or later lol. I'm glad you added me. It will help to have some support. I don't have a lot to lose but it's the last 15 pounds that are always the toughest.
