    It's almost addicting, once you have it on your phone and you're constantly checking in and keeping track of what you eat and your exercises! Feel free to add me! I love having motivational friends! :)

    I first found the mobile app a couple of days ago and it is impressive.
    Playing with the full website and it continues to impress. This can
    really help people live a richer, healthy lives. Hope you all stick with it,
    whatever your goals and reason.

    Remember though, your body weight is less important than your health and spirit.

    it's really good!! It makes me accountable and responsible for my choices!!

    My advice.... log everything that passes your lips... there is the temptation to sometimes not log, as sometimes I think i have gone way over, but I have surprised myself!! Also, knowing how much over you are means that you can balance the exercise correctly!!! E.G if i'm over by 100 cals, I can skip for 5 minutes and bring it back into the green!!

    Also, have mini realistic goals and treat yourself!!

    Down loaded the app really good for keeping track when your on the go. I had tried writing everything in a book and keeping track but with the app and being able to see how many calories I am actually eating. It's a real wake up. Great to see so many posts online, it's nice to know that I am not the only one!

    Does anyone know of a gluten free whey powder that does not have sugar or any other additives to make it sweet. No Stevia, no xylitol etc.?

    I've been here since the end of January.
    I would suggest purchasing a food scale. I weigh everything, it really helps.

    I agree! It is a really great way for me to see what I am eating and if I am on track or not.

    Have you been surprized by keeping track of what you are eating so far? Still in my first week but I have noticed that I seem to be eating more carbs than I thought I was eating. I have found it hard to find certain items to track. I was at an all day meeting and the food was supplied so I had to guess what to track for these food items.

    Ive found it rather interesting how many calories are in some food, especially the hidden calories!..........I haven't had a problem keeping track, everything seems to be here, even down to what supermarket I buy from!
    Good luck, im loving this!

    Before I started this I never thought of any calories in half of the foods I ate even on a daily basis. When I started this I was so shocked to see just how many calories are in everything that I used to enjoy so much! Now that I'm calorie aware I just eat a little bit of my favorite things so I'm not over boarding myself but still think that I'm not cutting out the things I used to enjoy. It's about a life style change not a quick fix! But I totally wish I found this site earlier too. Good luck to everyone! :)
