Hi All,

I am on day 3 of the plan and am addicted to the iphone & ipad apps! :) I cant stop scanning barcodes. I hope to lose some weight as this is the first week, but i cannot wait for the result.

we are getting married in may 2013 and i want to drop from 200lbs to 170lbs. With the help of this app and the self motivation to use my new bike and gym membership, i dont see why i cant reach this goal. Apart from beer :( 200 calories in a can of strongbow?

wish us luck

    Good luck!

    I'm getting married in July 2013, This is my 2nd day on here.....needless to say....I'm addicted!

    I'm having trouble meeting the amount of calories I have to! It's making me think that rather than eating to much before, I probably was in starvation mode half the time.still got over 400+ to go and I feel like ive been eating all day.

    Well, you'll sometimes get headaches from losing toxins. However, for me, the more likely cause is insufficient hydration. Basically, I get headaches if I'm not drinking enough water or other liquids. The other possibility is undereating. Make sure you're reasonably close to your calorie goals.
