Post pregnancy weight loss
Support needed! I’ve lost nearly 4 and a half stone since having my daughter almost 18 months ago which is great! But I find I’m so tired every day that it’s a struggle to calorie count, make healthy choices or exercise more. Think I need some accountability! I’m UK based so please add 😊

Did this years ago, trying it again
I used this app years ago, and lost over 100 pounds and kept it off. I was then 341. Now stuck at 231. So, I needed a way to track my food intake and exercise. And make friends and get support. SOOOO. I'M BACK....lol. Older now, 56, but ready for a change again.
