Hi Im Sophia-Riley and I am looking for others who are on a track to loose a significant amount of weight like me! My goal is to reach 130! I am currently 206! I am really looking into changing my diet and finding lower sugar and sodium foods to add to my dies and replace those that are too high. I have an issue that I retain water very easily! Please feel free to add me! Starting this week I am planning to hit the gym at least 5 times a week now!

    Hi, I'm looking to lose around 40 in the next year. I retain water pretty easily too but a lot has to do with what types of foods I'm eating. There's no denying a carb overload with that biology! haha what kind of workouts are you into?

    Hi there. We have pretty similar goals. I've been working hard on the diet aspect, and I'd love to swap recipes with you.

    Hi my name's Sara-Louise and I'm also in the situation where I need to loose weight. I've found that retaining water can be caused by one of 2 things 1. Is not drinking enough water u should be having at least 2ltrs a day I find it hard to keep track sometimes. 2. can be too much Salt in ur food when cooking and adding to ur meals.
