New in town

Hi. This is my first time using this site. My friend and my boyfriend told me to give this a try. I have been trying to lose weight by counting my calories in another app on my iPod. I have been doing it for almost a month and have only lost 1 pound. I started to give up on trying to lose weight. That's why I was introduced to this site. They told me how great it was to have so many people in my situation and there to help motivate me. I am going to try and stay on track. :)

  • I love this app. You must stay true and honest in order for it to work and don't worry if you over do it once in a while, it takes time to get into the swing of eating smaller portions. I use this app along with doing Zumba and have lost 12 lbs in 6 weeks. Good luck to you..

    Please measure besides just weighing. I've been stalled with weight loss but when I measured, low and behold, I had lost inches. Muscles take up less space than fat. Do you clothes feel looser? Good luck on your health journey.

    I have never thought of that, thanks. My pants have been fitting looser on me. :) I will definitely have to take measurements.
