Always a Work in Progress!
I haven't used this app in a few years. Been losing and gaining weight for many years. I'm putting it all out there because I'm sure someone else may be going through the same thing or similar and this app will be my motivation to follow through with my goal. In 2022 I weighed 290 lbs. That's the most I've EVER weighed in…
