in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

I'm brand new to this today, downloaded the app and found this brilliant community online, basically I'd like to connect with like minded people who want to achieve their goals. :)

Little bit about me; My name is Elly, i'm 21 and I'd like to lose around 70 lbs. I've always been on the bigger side, and I've always tried to lose it, but inevetably fall off the horse. I'm quite active already, i swim quite a bit and i walk to work (30 mins brisk) every morning and some evenings I walk home too, it's just my (abusive) relationship with food and my motivation that's holding me back.

Just putting it out there and seeing who fancies a chat and maybe we can help eachother along :)

Please everyone feel free to add me too :)

    Hi,I also joined today,wish I was 21,I am in my head,been battling all my life.I was doing ok up till 2010 and then we decided not to have our sunshine holidays so body exposure wasn't as important ,and ever since a stone has gone on each year 2010 I was 10st something.2011 it went to 11st something,2012 yes you're getting the gist and 2013 started with 13,I have weighed 15st 10lbs in the past and dont wont to go back there.

    Hi there,

    I'm also batting the bulge, i just can't stop eating. Not sure how much i weigh as i hate getting on the scales, just depresses me even more. Im 28 and about a size 14, but want to loose a bit of weight as i'm not the smallest of girls.
    One thing which is difficult is that i hate fruit and hate salad, the only time i will eat salad things is if their cooked. Not raw like as in a cold sald, yuk. My down fall is cadburys chocolate.

    Feel free to add me, i need all the support i can get and will return the favour with doing my best to support others xx

    Hi, anyone is welcome to add me. I'm 23, married, and a mommy to one. I've always been on the heavier side, but 2 weeks ago decided that today is the day. I know I haven't been on it long, but I need the motivation just as you do. I have probably a good 30 lbs to lose in total.

    Welcome! Its a great place to get support at. People on here keep me on track. I personally leave my diary open so that I'm more concious about what I eat. Its a mental thing for me. I log everything and knowing that I have people seeing what I eat keeps me on track. I'm sending an invite now. I think its best to have a huge support group. If anyone on here would like to add me please feel free to :)
