Looking for friends for motivation

I'm relatively new to this site, 1 week into recording foods/weight etc.

I'm looking for a couple of similarly minded people who are happy to share their weekly weigh-ins/weight loss progress just to keep each other motivated and on track as I've tried apps like this before and lost interest after a few days/weeks and regained any lost weight.

No judgements on goals or starts, I'm not picky with any welcoming and helpful people! :)

Although it should be said I'm a 110kg guy that wants to lose "2lbs" per week, and would appreciate others on a similar plan so we can progress in a friendly-competitive sort of manner. All the more fun if it's like winning a game right?

    Hello, I'm pretty much in the same situation! I would like to be losing 2lb a week too. I started this for 2 weeks and only lost 2lb so I felt a little disapointed then I had a crazy week at home of interviews and bad news so I didn't do it for a week :( but I'm back on it today and I could also do with some support and motivation!!

    One of the best things I've got into at the moment is sugar free jelly!! Its so low in calories and I can have it in the fridge if I fancy a pudding or some supper!

    I'm Mel by the way! I'm also very competive so this maybe a good thing for weight loss!! :)

    Add me too I lose motivation after a week or two and I need to lose quite a bit,so a friendly kick in the backside now and again might help.
