Hi everyone, I'm a 29 year old lady native and current resident of Los Angeles. This site always came up on my Google searches, and I figured I'd finally join.

https://captaincalculator.com/health/calorie/digging/ I found this great calculator when I was trying to figure out how many calories I burned digging a fence post hole. The count for “general gardening” wasn’t going to cut it!

Under 300lbs for the first time in about 4 years!
As with a lot of people, I suffered quite hard under the lockdowns. My company was constantly on the verge of going under as it was reliant on tourism and I was working 10-11 hour days sat at my desk, rarely getting up and ordering takeaways 6 nights a week from being so tired. As a result, I ballooned up to 352.1lbs by…

I've been on this app before many years ago, before I would just do this on my own but obviously would not stay motivated enough to achieve the goal that I wanted.
