Hi! I'm Erin and I have been struggling with my weight ever since I moved away from home to college. I graduated a community college and had to leave my full time job and my family and have been struggling with my eating habits ever since. I have tried many different programs and have always fallen off the wagon but I am determined to eat healthy and stick with my calories!

    Amen! I am right there with you. I am graduating University and trying to shed some pounds and live healthier. So far I have lost 9 lbs using this app and increasing my activity.

    YES! Although all of those late night study nights and snaks are sooo hard to break from, and i have a feeling coffee will be my down fall.

    I know exactly how you feel when i first went away to school it was so hard not to eat late night snacks and all the good junk food lol. I am paying for it now 3 years later trying to get back to what i was before i went away.

    Substitute the junk for cucumbers vs chips, cherry tomatoes, etc.

    I always forget how hard it is to cut all the salty and sugary foods out of your diet is and today i failed that test. I did stay pretty close to my calories allowed buuut... it was anything but healthy food. Although it is the first few days of a life style change and i know it will be hard so i'm just going to keep pushing forward.
