Hi Tasco , look back at the welcome Newbie message you got and you should find your way to the Daily Diary. It's on the Home page under Events. Good luck!

Click on 'Home' next to 'Posts' then scroll down and on the right hand side you'll see 'Events'. Daily Diary is there, as well as the daily Weigh-ins and the What's Happening thread.

Daily diary is a daily event to log our planned menus, exercise and tips..

There is an app, but the web version gives full use of the site, the app still has restrictions!!
