Well, here goes nothing. I have been struggling to reach a healthy weight for some time now. In college, I successfully used Weight Watchers Online program and lost 20 lbs, but have now gained all that back and then some. I gained 30+ lbs in a year while traveling for work, and it seemed to just sneak up on me. I used food to make up for my loneliness while on the road and to deal with stress.

Now, I'm paying for it and trying to relearn healthier habits and stick with them. I think maybe using the FatSecret community could give me similar benefits that I experienced with the WW online program. I joined FS over a year ago and only used it limitedly, recording only when I thought I was making healthy choices. My goal is to use this for all it's worth, hold myself accountable, and actually lose the 60-70 lbs I'm aiming to lose through diet and exercise. Wish me luck!
