My name is Jessica, I'm 26 years old and I live in Iowa. I've lived here about 3 years now, moved from western Massachusetts. My weight has always gone up and down since I was a teenager, and I've always wanted it to go away but never was willing to do anything about it. Finally about a month ago I found the motivation I was looking for and started going to the gym 3 times a week for 30-45 minutes a day. I've lost about 7 pounds since I started in early March. Then I found this FatSecret app for my BB and started counting my calories! It helps a lot to know what I'm taking into my body and how much of it I'm expending.
