Hey everyone!
I am looking for friends; those with similar goals, stats and lifestyles.

Here is mine;
I am a 21 year old single mother.
I weigh around 225 lbs - started at about 240 lbs.
my goal is to lose 100 lbs.

I am an emotional/stress/bored eater.. and tend to binge, a lot.
VERY new to exercise.. though, I do love dance fitness.

Feel free to add me :)

    Emotional eater here too, friends. Well that, and I just love food. But this time is different - I'm determined to make a change. It'll be gradual, but it'll happen.

    Looking to lose 50+ pounds. Adding both of you now!

    Hi I'm Rachel
    I used to weigh @202 (I refused to get on scale after that so I don't know my real starting weight so I go by 202) but I weigh 135 now :-) I used to use foods as a way of comfort and ate whenever I was stressed, tired, bored, and so on. So I can relate for sure. Just figured I'd chime in and say hello! :-) you can do this! Just weigh and measure all your foods and you'll do fine

    Hi,

    Dancing (dance fitness) is what got me started. It was the best way for me to start moving cause I enjoy it and could easily do it in my small apartment.

    My stats are:

    5'6"

    Heaviest: 194lbs
    CW: 176lbs
    GW: 150lbs and I will re-evaluate from there.

    I'm really dedicated, I'm currently doing Ruthless program, following meal plan and dancing a lot !

    Anyone feel free to add me, I could use and give motivation!
