So this is very new to me, and I'm honestly quite nervous. So my situation is pretty run of the mill, I've been overweight since I was a toddler and have always had bad eating habits, and after some whole hearted attempts to lose weight that brought minimal success, I have found myself quickly approaching adulthood and feeling like if I can just stay motivated I can meet my goal! Both of my parents are skinny so it has been a struggle to find the moral support that I really need in order to lose the weight. So, I'd love to meet some new people and make some new friends that might be able to help me out! Wish me luck :D

    Hey i'm here to support i have always been the chubby one in the family, food has been my emotional crutch all my life. I'm slowly getting past this & working on a happier, healthier fitter lifestyle before it gets too late. Feel free to friend me my diary is open & always happy to share my recipes i cook everything from scratch. I can motivate you when needed & console on bad days, may i ask what your goals are?

    Hi and welcome! I'm in exactly the same boat as jenfunfur, except maybe not such a great cook lol but I do try and make healthy meals. Tends to be the snacking where I go wrong. Oh and exercising *sigh*

    Feel free to add me too, hopefully we can keep each other motivated on the good and bad days
