Hi Dan! Like you I found this website after downloading the app. I check in here everyday and journal everyday as well. One thing I found that helps is joining a challenge. And I always check out others journals and reply because I think communication is so crucial, especially during the times we feel like we can't do this alone. This website has a ton of people who will pick you up, dust you off, and give you a light push in the right direction. Good luck. I look forward to your summer 2012 pic.

This thread caught my eye. I'm looking for a scale too, because my scale is about 10 years old and is quirky and analog. Sometimes I think when I am not losing weight, my husband moves the needle a bit so I get a pound off. I notice it because it takes forever to lose the next pound when he decides to move it back in the middle of the week.

Without sounding too desperate..I don't have any buddies. How does one find buddies that are going through the same thing, i.e. same type of diet, live in the same region, or can just connect to the same struggles I have with dieting. Do I just troll through this site and ask random people that I don't know to be my buddy? I asked one random person that was in a challenge with me to be my buddy and they have yet to reply. Do I have cooties? Or do most of the people on here only have buddies that are their real buddies in real life?

thanks

One of my big problems...not drinking enough water. Is there a place to record water consumption?

I quit smoking June 23. I figure if I can do that I can change my diet. I need to lose 65 pounds or else I am going to end up with diabetes, high blood pressure, and all the other crappy diseases that go with being overweight. I used to lose weight to be skinny, now I just want to spend the last 40 years of my life healthy and not spending time at the doctors.
