    I am not really sure what to say here… I am a pretty open book. I started, well re-started, MyFitnessPal a month ago. My first experience with the app was actually YEARS ago. The app has improved so much! I have also grown and learned which I think is helping me. I live in Minnesota. Married, kids, FT employee, small hobby farm… that’s me. So… Hello!

    Shellfish, beans, chickpeas, lentils, dark chocolate (my go-to 😉), fish (be choosy due to mercury), nuts, and more.

    I started at age fifty-nine with Sparkpeople in 2005 and lost 100 pounds, then slowly gained back over half of it by forgetting the most important part... maintenance. I had a restart in 2014 motivated by diabetes and I've been either losing or maintaining it ever since. I'll be seventy-five in June. Sparkpeople and MFP have made calorie counting so much easier and counting calories is the secret for me. I try, but not very successfully, to watch my carbs. At least the majority of my carbs are complex. Never quit!

    Hello! I’m looking to add friends. My goal is to lose 100+ so it’d be great to add others who are active and tracking too.

    Have a great day, everyone! 😎

    Hello all, I have been on the app for almost six weeks and I decided to try this section of the app today. I have tried WW a few times but have never kept with it. Was diagnosed with high blood pressure six weeks ago and have had to make some life changes. Have lost 18lbs so far. This app has helped me a lot.

    As a personal trainer/group fitness instructor, I always recommend this app as a method of nutritional accountability. However, I haven`t practised what I preach and ignored doing so myself. I feel it is quite hypocritical to ask someone to do something that I wouldn`t do. Therefore, I have decided to begin a calorie-counting regime, which I believe will help me lose those pesky extra kilo or three. Best of luck to everyone out there!

    Hi,
    I’m a serial re-starter but after baby no.2 I’m finally determined enough to get back to where I was most comfortable for good.
    16/70 lbs down using the Fast 800.
