Hi I'm New and looking for friends

Hi every one, I.ve been using this app for over a week now, it's been great watching what I eat, exercise I've completed & those awful sneaky snacks I've been getting into. I was 283.5lbs when I started 6 weeks ago, I am currently 249.1lbs, slowly getting my weight down but at times I find it a struggle. I've started enjoying my exercise lately, been hard at it for the last week and a bit, weights not dropping of as quickly as it was previously but I think it's a result of muscle tonning, well that's what I keep telling myself.
I started as a result of not being able to keep op with my little girls, now days they tend to come watch me workout and giggle at me, it's been a blast.

I'm looking for a buddy that I can converse with during the "down" periods, also someone to share the highlights with.

Welcome to the site! Keeping up with the kids is one of the best motivators!

I'm kind of in the same boat ... I started at 255 and I weighedin this morning at 246.6. I don't think I've plateaued or done any tonight this week but we had a birthday party yesterday and I wasn't keeping track this week so now I've got to get back at it. My boys don't catch me exercising since I go to Zumba but my 3 year old asks if I'm going to "boogie" then laughs, he thinks that's pretty funny. But they are the majority of my motivation, I want to be able to keep up with them.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey and you're welcome to friend me if you'd like.

Hey. I, too, am fairly new to this site. I've been using it for a couple of weeks. It has definitely helped me to start exercising when I'm able and to watch what I eat.
Congrats on your weight loss so far. It seems you have very good motivation with your children. I hope you continue to look forward and keep your eyes on the prize
