Share Your Journey With Me? Topic


I am new and I was wondering if a few of you would like to share your journey with me? I’d love to hear your story and get to know a few people who use this app.

As for me..... I am a retired woman in my late 60s. I had cancer when I was 25 and my thyroid gland was completely removed. Getting to and maintaining a healthy weight has been a struggle ever since. I just do the best I can each day and I don’t stress over the difficulty.

Hello KayBee,
I am a newbie too, or at least returning after a long lapse. I am still wqorking, in my late 50's. I battled colon cancer at 49, two surgeries and chemotherapy. I was already a comfort eater and that stress made it much worse and I didn't feel like doing anything. Needless to say, I had a huge weight gain and have not returned to my previous weight or health YET. I love the app and hope to find supportive friends here. Improving my health and losing the excess fat are my goals right now.
One day at a time...


Hi y’all! I’ve been doing MyNetDiary for a while, always exercise but I have really struggled. I only lost 5 pounds just to put it back on. I used to teach aerobics so the exercise part is easy-the diet is hard for me. I got the premium version and I’m hopeful that it will be a little better this time. I have 66 pounds to lose. Here we go!!!

Hi! I’ve been using the app every day for 2 months now and just did my first weight in, I’ve lost 8kg!! Exactly the amount the app predicted. I’ve found it so empowering to understand my body a little better and to view food as fuel, rather than ‘good’ or ‘bad’.

I’m 28 and have an office job in Sydney. We’ve been in lockdown for a few months now, so turning around bad habits in a time of turmoil is something I’m really proud of.

Thanks for sharing your journey, it’s a nice feeling looking through peoples stories.
