Hey all. I've never used an online app to track calories and exercise before. I'm pretty discouraged. I have always been fairly fit and not overweight, I've been a runner for 30 years. After two bad years (house flooded, sick parents) and not much exercise and LOTS of emotional eating I've put on over 10 pounds and I'm fat, discouraged and depressed. I can't seem to shake it. My husband is a love but he always brings me ice cream, chocolate etc. We've been married 38 years and yes, I've asked him to please support me but he doesn't'/won't/can't. I'm not going to blame him but it makes my life harder. Yes I've begged and pleaded for his support but it's not going to happen and I need to find my own strength to avoid the temptations. Yesterday I started logging and I was 1000 calories over my goal intake. Ooops. My first goal is to cut out snacks (31% of my total daily calories). Here to be held accountable.

Welcome!! After me and my now husband moved to Wisconsin for only ONE year, I put on over 100 lbs. I didn’t realize it until one day I was getting ready to take a shower and looked in the mirror and saw dark stretch marks all over my body. As much as I hate my body (and believe me I truly despise my body), I find it so hard to get it back where it used to be. I started using this app to track what I eat and try to hold myself accountable and so far I’ve lost nearly 3 lbs!! Not a huge difference, but small progress is still progress.

Hi. I just started with my weight loss journey a month ago. It is hard when you have a house full of junk food and bs. (My sisters still eat whatever they want) ive had a rough year and decided it was time to change. How do you add friends on here? I feel like the more people you have in your corner the more accountability you have.0
