Hi! I found this great new app for my phone and have been using it for less than a week and have lost an initial 10 pounds, so I decided to log onto the website and see what's available there. I agree with another post I just read, that I do much better if I have a group to be accountable. I had both knees replaced on Jan 10 and was off work for 9 weeks. During that time I was able to lose 30 pounds. Then I went back to work and have gained it all back + 5 more pounds. After just 5 days of eating better, already feel 100% better. I know what to do, but when I get into the sugar cycle, all I eat is bad stuff. I have 100+ pounds to lose, and hope to be able to do it in less than 2 years. I'll need all the support I can get from you all. I'm looking forward to developing some relationships here that will hold me accountable. :flowerforyou:
