    I have found that logging every single thing I eat makes me feel more accountable for the weight I've gained. I no longer think geez where did this weight creep up from because i never considered how many calories were going into each meal before. it makes me consider healthier options when before I didn't think it would make so much of a difference. That and adding people who are encouraging and supportive has motivated me to keep going when I wanna give up and just eat anything

    Hi everyone. I'm in Ontario and in desperate need of motivation!! True weight loss hasn't been successful for me and I have about 40lbs to use. I'm 35, married, curvy and I love it but would prefer to just have a few less!! My vices are snacking and portion control. My trigger to succeed this time is thanks to my wonderful husband, who shocked me by mentioning that I eat more than he does. :( Looking for FitBit friends and anyone with any advice. Thanks!
