    OK so I am back again, this time to get my isolation, Christmas and bad relationship weight down. Started at the end of December at 81.5 Kg, now am 74.3kg. My goal is to get under 70kg which will put me into a healthy weight range again. 5kg might not seem much but I am having a total knee replacement in may and every kg of excess weight is 4kg of excess pressure in my knees, so 5kg is 20kgof pressure that I don't need. ##edit## I should also add that I can't do walking or any weight-bearing exercise so it is swimming and diet. I'm also 51.

    Hey all, been on the app in and out for a while but have decided now is the time to get it all sorted, health, wealth, fitness. Currently 125kg at 5ft 9in....dad bod rather than a big ole round beer barrel. Crossfit 5 times a week and love throwing the iron around. I am terrible for motivation but thought I would use here to help me out.

    Had this app many years ago and always neglected it


    Back now and on a roll and loving keeping track of my foods and calories!
    Lost my Dad 2 years ago and promised myself I'd get super healthy and fit and I have to say its taken up my life and I feel so much better.

    Always happy to have new friends wherever you are! I'm based in the UK and loveeee seeing meal pics also :)

    I'm new! (Kind of). I had success with this app several years ago and then put it down for some life changes. I'm back in a place where I need some external motivation and structure to get back on track. I hope it works!

    Hi, about 6 months ago I decided it was time to sort my life out and start working on the body I’ve wanted for 1/2 my life. The big 30 was just around the corner and I’d ran out of excuses to not do something about it! I’ve always been one to take on an extreme diet / gym routine that’s not at all sustainable. This time I tried to make small changes to my lifestyle and lose the weight slow and steady in a CALORIE DEFICIT. 6 months later I’ve lost 21lb and feeling so much better about myself (mentally and physically). I’ve still got a long way to go to achieve my long term goals but that’s my story so far ☺️

    Same. Was here previously and did fantastic, lost 50lbs. Then life threw me a few curve balls and I gained all my weight back. Starting fresh!

    Hey y’all this is my 1st time using a tracker app and joining a community. I’ve been alone on my weight loss journey in the past. We’ll see if this makes a difference.

    HELLO!! I am so happy to be here and to be where I am right now. This time around I am being very successful and I am finally happy and confident. I'm down 22.5lbs and only 80 more to go to hit my goal. It felt like I was never going to make any kind of progress but I am happy to say I have. I know it's a slow process but I am glad to say I am not giving up. I'm glad to be here.

    A "kind of" new member.
    Started in November, but hadn't noticed there was a community forum area. Down 14.x so far. Pleased with the changes.

    Starting to have trouble staying with the meal tracker, though.

    I have been on this site off and on for years. Today I have restarted and being committed!

    I'm 44 years old. I have been overweight since I had my first child. I had gastric sleeve in 2017. Then in 2018 I had a hernia w/ large mesh repair, and most recent in Dec 2020 I had breast lift, Fleur-de-lis panniculectomy. Then around Jan 2021 staph infection from surgery. Follow me about my journey and ask me any question and I will be the one to honestly answer!

    Rejoining after 4 years. So much has happened since then. Sudden loss of my husband in Jan 2018 after 25 yrs of a good christian marriage. Age 62 now. 5'6" wt 176 lbs. I had gotten down to 169 before my tragedy. Goal is 156. I'm not trying to be a 25 year old, lol but need to get back to being moderately active for my age. My two sons say I look 10 yrs younger than my age. Are they just trying to sweet talk me? I would love to chat from time to time. Just to say hi. Feel free to add me.
