Introduce yourself

Hello! My name's Maria and this isn't my first time on here but it is my first time trying to actually use it and really take advantage of the resources on the website. Over the last 2-3 years I've gained 40 pounds and am having the hardest time getting it off. Hopefully this will help!!

    Hello all! I am Kelli and I am very new to this community and this app. I have had a yoyo relationship with weight loss + gain my whole life. I am truly hoping that the help and motivation I will get here will get me to the success I want and need.

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!

    Hello, I am an elderly lady who has waited so long for chronic health challenges to improve so I could work on losing weight. Now I realize I have to get with it and not wait in spite of the health problems. So here I am and ready to go forward.
