Hello,
My name is Dana and I just discovered this site. I have tried many different diets, but it's all about healthy eating and working out. This looks like an easy way to track. Would love any advice or motivation from anyone!

    welcome Dana,

    I've struggled with my weight my whole life. This is the first time I've felt in control and have been able to stick with it. Having it on my phone and on the internet helps. I log everything, and I do me everything. I also made a New Years Resolution to walk at least 1 mile every day. That has morphed to 2 miles...and it can be walking or elliptical. I've been here for 60 days and have lost almost 7 lbs. Doesn't seem like much, but I feel like it is something I can stick to the rest of my life. I still eat the things I love, but concentrate on more veggies. When I eat more veggies I do better.

    My advice, keep plugging away, don't give up. You'll go over your calories, keep at it. Some days you won't feel like exercising, keep at it. I dont' feel like exercising ever, but I've done it every single day since December 26th.

    KEEP AT IT, oh and add friends they are encouraging...:wink:
