Hi *waves*
I'm Lisa, and I'm new! I had the app on my phone for a while but I've been going on here too now as there's even more helpful stuff! I love the food list, it's got so many foods on it!
I want to lose about 45 pounds, I'm a typical fad dieter, you name the diet, I've tried it (yes even the master cleanse...bleh), I've tried diet pills, supplements, shakes.... It always ends up the same, I lose 10 - 15 pounds quickly, then can't carry on the diet, and put the weight back on and then some! So I've finally decided to change the way I think about food, and learn to eat right for the rest of my life, and not just look for a quick fix that doesn't work!
So anway hello!

    Hey Lisa, Welcome! I just started this week too, kind of feeling the same as you want to be proper healthy and not just do faddy diets! Good Luck :)
