Middle aged and looking to FINALLY crack my addiction to salty junk food

Accountability
I’m 36, a mother of two under 5. I’ve let myself go a bit too much caring for them; this is the largest I’ve ever been: 91kg, 164cm height.🥹🥹 I would love to know if there’s a way to get a partner in fitness on this platform I can be accountable to? Like a fitness pal checking up on each other 😊.

Calorie Deficit
I didn’t believe in counting calories. Now I do. I’ve lost 12 pounds in 2 1/2 months. This app has helped to keep my accountable. I just wish it was more accurate with certain foods and I wish they had a better way to create your own meals for a more accurate calorie count. Other than that, it’s a great tool.
