    Welcome, You can do this! In March I has a wakeup call and I knew I needed to lose weight to improve my health. I started making small changes starting with reducing unhealthy snacks. Over time I began to log my food, I increased my exercise, I began eating healthier meals. It took me several months to implement all the changes and it is still a work in progress.
    I saw one of my doctors yesterday and she was thrilled by my progress. I have lost 23 pounds since March. I still eat what I want but in moderation. I find the longer I do this the less I want foods that are unhealthy. I know I could have lost weight much faster but this is not a diet for me but a lifestyle change, therefore I needed to make changes that were sustainable over time. I still have at least 25 pounds to go but I love the feeling of success I have as I am doing this. Good luck to you!

    Welcome, I am starting over again, been trying for a month now and not getting very far. I know how to lose the weight as I’ve done it before, just hit a bad couple of years with one family emergency after another. I am a stress eater and have managed to gain back all that I lost. So time to get settled in. The tracking helps tremendously. I’m amazed when I look at my day and realize I have really been eating twice what I should have been for awhile! I would like to help and you can do the same?
