Hi my name is Jenny, I'm a married mom to 3 young kids under the age of 6. I gained a lot of weight with my pregnancies and now I have 115 lbs to lose. Started on Atkins a month ago and lost 16 lbs but realized that it's not a healthy lifestyle. I've joined a gym and now am tracking calories. Hoping to make some friends who also have some weight to lose!! One day at a time.

    Welcome, you can add me too. I tried Atkins a few times. When I did it the way it said to do it, I lost weight. But, that way of eating is hard to maintain. I always crave what I'm told I can't have. I have about 95 pounds left to lose.

    Welcome aboard. I've been using this for a week now and it's helping a lot. I just posted a blog about my debauchery last night, but today is starting off on the right foot. Also, I'll be taking my first walk today while using the sports-tracker app on my phone. It uses GPS and your stats to calculate your calorie burn on a walk, jog or bike ride. It's also got a social side which seems cool. Myfitness is really helping me to be mindful of what I'm eating and drinking, and that's an important thing for those of us who mindlessly eat or drink. I also read a really touching blog yesterday, so it's nice to be here in a community of folks who are working through some of the same issues.

    Peace,
    Troy
