I had been obese for some time, but after the death of my son last February I started over-eating big time. In June I decided that…

  • Please add me. I've lost 34 pounds which is the most I have ever lost, but when I started it was the heaviest I have even been. 40 more pounds to my goal.

  • Hi, Been back on the fitness wagon for a week. A long siege of having and ill spouse and his recent death had me stress eating until I was close to my highest ever weight. Counting calories is what works for me to curb my excessive eating, so I'm using MyFitnessPal. Planning to stick with this long term. I live in Indiana…
