Hi all,
I'm new here and am looking for some friends to help keep each other accountable and encourage each other.

I have a history of eating disorders, so I don't really weigh myself ever, but I would guess I have about 50 pounds I'd like to lose. More importantly, I want to be able to run and bike like I used to without my knees and shins hurting. I also have a few psychiatric disorders that are greatly helped by exercise and healthy eating, so I decided to finally get serious about this and help myself feel good again.

Anyway, that's the short(ish) version of why I'm here. If anyone wants to friend me to cheer each other on, that would be great. I find myself struggling to talk to anyone besides my mother and my partner about my struggles with my body, so more community would be awesome.

    Same! I always do really well and then completely back track! Having a group to help keep me accountable sounds like a great idea :)

    I'm happy to friend you, but I'd rather cheer you on than try to beat you ;)
