Newbie Here Looking for a fitness pen pal

Hi,

My name is Joanne and I was lucky enough to come across this site as i start my journey to a new me. I am doing this only with the help of this website, so i am looking to make friends with people on this site that are striving to lose weight and get healthy. I can sometimes get off track and I think it would be great to have other friends to help get me started. In turn, I would do the same! I am a married mother of 2, 32 years old and am hoping I will be strong enough to follow through on this challenge and finally get the weight off.

Thanks!

    Hellooo -
    My name is Tiffany. Also on working on this journey to a new me. :smile:
    I started on this site a week ago today. :happy: It's a great place to keep better track of what i'm eating! I'm definitely becoming more aware. The eating has always been the toughest part for me, since I do enjoy the exercise. (as long as i find the time of course!)

    I am also married, mother of one and 32 years old. I hope to finally get the weight off, get in better shape and keep it up!!

    Best wishes!!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Tiff

    I'm a little new too, and this site is sooo awsome, it's going to help! I'd be happy to add you to my friends (expect the request), and we can check in with one another. I've got a long long way to go, so having a push every now and then would be AWSOME. I'm 23 a mother of 5, three of my own, and two step kid-o's, I have about 109+ pounds to loose still! I weigh in once a week on Friday's! Well, I'll send you a message! TTFN and BEST OF LUCK!!

  • Good Luck... with so many people on here it is almost hard to not find someone for support. I started last week and I am loving this site. Kind of a great way of keeping yourself accountable for what you eat as well as the exercise.
