Hi Everyone!

So even though I've been using this app on my phone for a few months now, I only now decided to venture out of my shell and say hi. Maybe it is the pressure from being told "You have no friends yet" every time I log in, or maybe it's just that I am finally ready to admit to myself I can't do this alone, but in any case, here I am and I'm ready to work hard and be motivated and hopefully motivate some others as well.

I'm currently 5'7" and due to a particularily bad month up to 145lbs, with a goal of 130lbs. My major pitfall is emotional eating and eating when I'm bored at work. (If anyone has any tips for dealing with being trapped at a desk with no privacy and nobody to talk to for distraction I'd love to hear them) In general I eat pretty healthy and like to exercise, I just haven't been able to get a handle on the frequency of my "distraction eating". But that's why I'm here, and this time will be different. Really!

So, if you're looking for another motivational pal, add me as a friend, and let's get r done already!

  • hey i'm new too and also am realizing that this would be better to do with friends so feel free to add me. i'm also 5'7" and currently at about 146, trying to get down to 135 by june for a trip to vegas! i finally got the hang of exercising pretty regularly, but my eating is what gets me in trouble. my meals i can stick to my health plan, but at the end of the day when i enter in all those high calorie snacks that i ate out of pure boredom or to try to stay awake after hours of studying, my calories are consistantly going over my budget. i need someone to hold me accountable :)

    Hi I love Vancouver it is such a beautiful city. I live in Seattle. I am a bit older and have much more to lose but I am on here everyday to log in and check in with my pals progress. So I will send you a request. I am usually shy but not on here for some reason. I am not sure how but I think the support adds to this site. I gained a big chunck of my weight when I had a job with a long commute so I can relate to how certain jobs make it hard. I think you will it done sooner than you think!

  • Hey everyone :)

    I'm in Australia, and would love to have a message buddy to help with motivation. Anyone will do! I don't want to post stats really...
    A little friendly competition / encouragement would be perfect, I think.

    I'm 21, female, and have about 20 lbs to loose over three months. Happy to be friends with everyone!

    Kate :)

    Hi there,
    I'm new to this site and keen to lose some weight. I stand 6' 1" in my socks and weigh in at about 15 stones.
    I have gained 2 stones in weight over the last 5 years and now need to loose it. My main problem is easy access to food, I now work from home and the tempation is to raid the fridge for snacks. I'll need all the help I can get. So please feel free to ad me to your list.
