in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone.

I've tried to lose weight before and failed, so this time I'm trying to do things different. I'm trying to commit to small changes that will help me be healthier. My current lifestyle is very unhealthy. I eat too much, eat out a lot, and don't get much exercise. I know I won't get healthy overnight, but I hope that over time I can make some positive changes.

I'm looking to make some friends here on who can help encourage and inspire me, while being supportive and non-judgemental. I'm especially looking to meet some young (20s-30s) single women to share motivation and friendship. I'd really like to meet ladies who can become real close friends. For me, weight loss and lifestyle change are a big challenge and I'd love to meet friends who I can chat with about the struggles, small victories, and emotional issues on our journeys.

    I'm 30 YOF as well. I'm looking to lose around 40lbs. We can do this together. I'm just starting over again. I lost about 30 lbs last year and gained it back. I want to lose it and keep it off this time!

    I added you. I'm 27 and am also restarting my weight loss journey. I am tracking everything (or at least attempting to) to see where I am going wrong. I'm also making little changes like not eating out as much, walking half my lunch break, and going to the gym 3 times a week.

    "Making small changes" is a GREAT idea. I watch people all the time jump in with both feet and try to dramatically change their lifestyle overnight. In some rare cases it works and they stick with it, but in most they last a week or two and it becomes overwhelming. Try to cut it down to one cheat meal or snack a day and then progress to one or two cheat meals a week. This works well for me. Good Luck!
