Hello! I'm Heather :)
I've struggled with my weight my whole life. It's my thing. I get on the band wagon for a few weeks and when I see no progress I give up. I love eating. For the past twenty-some years it's been my security. When I think about what I'd like to do after work or on the weekend it's to make my favorite food and pick out a show or movie and make a day of it. However, it's not my health 's favorite thing to do. I got the fat girl talk from my Dr this week and the time has come to where I need to make some serious changes. So, I'm getting back on my bandwagon and going to give it all I've got.

    I am in day 10 and cannot believe how this app has opened my eyes to what I eat. I log every meal and have made changes with the same foods so that they are healthier and stay in line with calories. I will run to the gym if calories left are getting low but I generally go to the gym and do cardio, ride row and walk for about 45 minutes .

    Sounds exactly like me. Struggled with overeating all my life. Looking to lose at lwast 50 pounds and just generally make better Choices ....need to cut all the sugar. Desperate for mutual accountability. Will try to add everyone if y"all don't mind. Just had third child and my will power is really lacking.

    Hi Heather,
    You can chalk me up as well, if you so desire. I need to lose the same 50! I'm just starting out, but loving the burn. Maybe we can help each other. I'm willing to give it a shot. If you're in, please add me! :O)

    Hi to all.. I just signed up. I am looking to loose about 60 pounds. I could use some friends and motivation. I just retired from the army last year due to injuries that I had been struggling with for several years. Long story short my injuries have put me off of my feet. I am preparing for my second surgery next month and have another after that. I have slowly gained 60 pounds over the course of three or so years. There is not a lot of exercises that I can do right now so I am turning to looking at my diet and hoping this site will help me.

    Hey Heather! I am in the exact same boat! I am looking to lose about 120 lbs though. Only down 8.8! It's hard and i find the biggest issue for me is "cheat" days. I try to either live without them or subsititute for healther yummy choices.
    I always tell people that this time I am going to do it and I have a bit but would gain it and more back. I guess I am just trying to get in to the mind set that I realize a lot of unhealthy foods give me stomach problems so I am eliminating them. I also have a very important even to go to in 3 months so.... that helps for motivation!
    Maybe set a goal for yourself, like a nice outfit or something!
    Keep up the great work :)

    HI..and you GO, gorgeous!

    I am trying to lose 50 pounds in a year. That may not seem impressive, but I am after a gradual, sustainable loss that I can then adapt as a lifestyle change. No offense to those who don't face the large loss challenge...but they really don't get it. Add me if you like...I am a whiz bang cook, and am working on recipes to lower cals and fats, and would love to share!
