Hi! I'm back with a new battle to fight!
Hi everyone! It's been quite a while (five months) since I've been on here, and a few things have changed.

The ticker doesn't show my loss.
I've entered my weight loss every place I have found to enter it, but the ticker still says I've lost 0 pounds. Where do you enter it to get it to show up on the ticker? Thanks!

52 years old, need to lose 90 pounds
Hi everyone! I just started on this journey today, and I need to lose 90 pounds. I've reached my goal before, only to eat my way back up again. (and again, and again) :( But this time my health is at stake. Arthritis, high blood pressure, chest pain, trouble breathing...yeah, it's time to get serious. I have a question…
