I'm pretty new here, need someone to lose with.

Hey guys, I've been using the app for 16 days and am ready to commit. Sadly, I don't have anyone to share in the weight loss journey with me. I'm 23, female, 5'8, and down from 230 to 223 so far (weighing in again soon).I have a physically demanding job, so I don't work out often but I've been tracking my caloric intake. So far, it's been working for me, but I'm starting to feel discouraged because I feel alone in this. I know that sounds lame, haha, but I feel like this would be easier if I could see how others are handling it. Everyone I know is either very thin, eating normally, "fat and happy", or just plain judgemental and I need positive motivation. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope we can encourage each other as we step closer to our goals.

    Hey, I'm sort of new too. I've been using the app as well as the weight watchers app to track what I eat. I'm 19, female and I'm at 262 so I have quite a ways to go. I'm kind of in a similar boat as I don't really know anyone who is trying to lose weight. With the schedule I have of college classes and work I don't really work out besides walking to class on campus which helps a little. I can't afford to pay to go to the weight watchers meetings so this is the next best thing! I like knowing that there is a support group out there!

    I would be happy to be your weight loss buddy! I am a 32 year old guy who has lost a total of 169 lbs. Always nice to have someone to share the journey with!
