Weight loss
I’m a 32yo male and this is the first time in my life that I am putting serious effort into shedding weight. A few years ago, I was 180lbs with a BMI of 24, but over the past few years I’ve let myself go and peaked at 242lbs (BMI 33). My goal is to lose roughly 60lbs and get back to my healthy BMI by the end of this…

Introducing Myself
Hi I am Bill, I am 46 and here to get into better health with good nutrition and exercise. Also I am recovering from a recent shoulder surgery so I am a bit limited in the exercise part. I can walk ride a stationary bike. But for now that is all I am able to do. Any good feed back anyone had is welcome.

Well New to Premium
Although I had this app for many years, this is my first time I have gone premium and actually using it to my full advantage.

Starting a new journey - Couch to Marathon
In 2013, I lost my wife aged just 21 to Ovarian Cancer. She was a professional footballer, and we were both in great shape. That year I ran the Great Manchester Run - 10k without any specific training. Fast forward 9 years, and life has hit me in the midriff. Working to provide for our 2 children meant things like…

Trying this again
Hi all! I'm going to attempt this weight losing journey once again. I feel like it's almost useless for me to even try. I don't eat because I'm hungry, I eat because I'm bored. Even though I have a ton of things to do, I can't seem to stop picking. If it's there...I eat it. Any suggestions how to overview this? I hope…
