Low Carb
Hi there. Thoughts on low carb lifestyle? It seems I’ve had the best success with that since going off BC. Following low carb, I was able to lose some of the weight I’ve gained since going off BC. I follow a vegan lifestyle and would like to eat more holistically within that realm, instead of focused on low carb, but I…

Body Clock Says Sleep!!
Am I the only one who is not yet adjusting to Daylight Savings Time? I have done nothing else to change my routine or eating habits, but getting up in the dark is killing me, and the extra hour of daylight at night goes to waste because I have no energy left. I am also hungry all of the sudden and for stuff I never want…

Its just not easy to lose on my own
How many times have I started to lose weight only GAIN IT BACK? This has been a life time struggle. Oh I know I am not alone. If it were easy I'd of been at goals over 8 years ago. Being older it's surely not easy, but I also did not find it easy when I was in my 40's or even 50's. I first gained weight in my mid 30's, but…

Who Is That Fat Old Man?!?
Once upon a time... I was a US Army Special Forces Soldier. Now I'm nearly 60 - and I don't know what happened!

I finally had enough - and with the help of this wonderful app, my eating is already getting…
