Hello World! Im a 51 year old KY woman. I found this site searching for the calories of a mango. My sisters and I had just decided to do a calorie diet together and WOW I found this site. It was exactly what I need to motivate me and its FREE. I cannot believe it. I am so poor at self motivation. So FatSecret here I am. I've stuck to my calories every day and logged everything Ive eaten. The Food Journal is awesome. Ive just joined my first challenge. Its a 12 week beginner walking challenge. I want to get down to 135 lbs and then maintain. I really believe I can do it this time and Im so excited. I dont know how to add buddies but if anyone wants to add me as their buddy please do because I would love to make some friends here and help each other reach their goals. Im planning on owning this challenge!


OK well now im 52 so i thought i would post an update. Ive been on FS for a little over a month now and have successfully lost 12 lbs. I have learned a whole lot about food nutrition and am now learning all about exercise, both cardio and strength training. I get so excited when i go to bed at night because tomorrow i get 1200 more calories to spend! I cant believe I get to start over every day! I do weigh myself everyday because i want to stay on top of it if i do something wrong. And im kinda sorta getting the hang of the nutrition wheel. It was touch and go for a while there lol. When I go food shopping I read all the labels and discover new things all the time. Of course I want to try all kinds of things recommended by everyone here on FS. Fatsecret! Thank you for being here when i wanted to know the calories of a mango. You have changed my life!
