I've lost 90 lbs!!!!
2 1/2 years! I truly never thought I'd lose as much as I have and feel as good as I do! Started out this journey bc I couldn't move from the couch.

80lb weight loss in 1 year (53 yrs old)

I lost 100 lbs on MFP and now want to coach. Rate my coaching brochure?

Diary sharing
I’d like the ability to share my diary with my dieting group instead of having to take multiple screen shots. I also think the ability to create groups inside the app would be an easier alternative. Much like a social media platform where individuals can chat and view diaries in one central location.
