in Introduce Yourself
Hi just wanted to introduce myself. I have other accounts for calorie counters online but don't seem to like it much. I have started my weight loss jurney and decided to get a new calorie tracker. I like it here so far. I am a 34 year old mother of two. I have started an excersise rutine with a trainer and also go to the gym on my own. So far I have lost 10 lbs. before joining the site but have a long way to go. Hope to make some friends! :)

    I hear you. I was paying for WW and really didn't get me anywhere. I like the other calorie count site but they changed a few things and didn't make it very user friendly. I really like this one. I will give it a try. My trainer says to track everything I eat so this will help.

    tracking everything you eat is the one thing that all of my previous weight loss programs has suggested. I have been using the phone app for the last 2 days. It is a great thing to have with you all the time so you dont forget anything that enters your mouth :-)

    Hello.... I am new here
    Looking to find some new friends to help me keep on track with losing weight and getting healthier
    I am 42 yrs old and mother of 3 very active children. I want to be able to do things with them and feel good when doing them.
    I have also tried every diet and diet pill out there and have been big ever since I had my first child. I love to exercise but just don't seem to have the time or the energy to do it so would love some pointers on this. I also do not like alot of diet foods or what they say is good for you and so have a rough time finding things that I like and so then I get bored.... Any pointers on this would also be greatly appreciated.... Am looking forward to meeting alot of wonderful people and also getting healthier
    Thanks Tammy

    I am new to this site as well, and was referred here by a friend, and my goal is to achieve what she has done, she has lost probably 30-35 lbs. and looks amazing, so I ask her how she was doing it, and she told me about this site. This is only my 3rd day, and have lost 1.1 lbs. already...YAY!...where I notice the difference is in the WATER! only thing I can say about that is, drink the recommended 8 glasses a day.

    Yes, food is very important. I am learning how to eat "clean". This is what has helped me lost 10 lbs in the last 2 months. I will be happy to share some info. Also taking some time to move your body. It is difficult when you have a desk job. So I have opted to work out in the middle of the day. That way I get it over with and don't feel guilty when I go home at night. I feel I can use my afternoon to play with my kids and relax. I think is finding what works for you. Not all diet plans work for everybody. So I am doing it my way lol

    Speaking of food, I have to go to lunch soon. Thank you all for your welcoming posts :) Loooking forward to this sharing/informative/ supportive forum. :happy:

    Well I joined last week and I did fairly well last week but I am struggling this week. I want to lose the weight but I find myself hungry all the time. I have type 2 diabetes and they say to eat 5 little meals a day and I try to do that but I am a real big junk food eater and don't like alot of foods. I really need some directions on this and help in deciding what I can eat and what I cannot eat. I would take any suggestions that anyone has and i would also take any advice that anyone has. I want to count my calories but I am having a hard time doing this. I also am on the run alot and so it is hard to decide what I can pack for my lunch and snack while I am gone all day. Please help anyone.......
