    Hey Marc, I'm here to lose some serious weight next year. My husband and I started today to take the pressure off the 1st. What do you think of this strategy?

    Sounds perfect. I plan to lose at least 50 this year. I lost about 30 this year, but I'm gonna kick it into high gear, come the 1st. Having someone to do it with is always better.

    There is an app or device, can't remember which, but you can actually challenge each other. It then becomes a game of sorts.

    There is an app called Edmondo which allows you to challenge each other. I'm not familiar with it, but if you want a buddy and challenge each other, i'm in.

    Looking for new active friends who are looking to kick butt in 2016! If that's you, then send a FR and we can do this together. I'm looking at shifting some timber and also training for my races that I've planned for the year. Which includes 3 Half-Marathons within the space of 4 weeks!

    I looked for a user name, didn't really see it in my profile or settings. My name is Lisa, which is on the profile page and my email is littlesewflake@gmail.com. Maybe you can find it that way. Look forward to it. I am a fairly competitive person and that is very motivating to me. I am also struggling with finishing chemo/radiation and need the mental focus and support of a friend. Hoping to hear from you Marc and anyone else who has this.

    wow Simon, that is incredibly inspiring and impressive. I would send you a friend request... but.... not sure I will be very encouraging to you as my journey is so very different than yours. But I am proud of your focus! Hoping you have a great new year.

    Hey Lisa, whilst I won't be getting involved in these challenges I'm going to send your a FR anyway. Whilst we may have different journeys / goals it's always great to have support individuals.

    My husband and I started the day after Christmas so it wouldn't be the cliché New Years resolution. We are actually doing weekly weight ins and the person who loses the most each week gets something.

    I could use more friends on here. Feel free to add me :)
