in Introduce Yourself
:smile: I've been looking for a site to help me figure out how many calories I can have in a day to lose weight. At first I wasn't trying to connect with others, just wanted to do what needed to be done and realized that alone doesn't really offer a challenge or provide anyone who knows your struggles. So this is me, a 38 year-old wife and mother, looking to connect with real people struggling to lose weight.

    That is exactly what this site does.
    I use it to keep track of other nutrients for medical purposes, but most people use it for calories.
    The calories per day, the site tells you are based on your current size, activity level, and how quickly you want to lose weight.

    *Waving back to you!* I am a 47 year old mom to two nearly grown kids. I also realize that it's very difficult to do this in a vacuum. I think I'd have a much better time staying motivated (especially to exercise) with some like-minded buddies to share the experience with! Please feel free to add me too!

    I am new to this site. I am a 47 yr old mom with 3 young adult children. I work out pretty frequently but need to be more accountable for my eating. I am hopeful this website will give me the help I need to lose some weight. Nice to know I am not alone :)
