Looking for supportive friends

Hi,
I just joined yesterday and am excited about this new website. I am constantly monitoring my weight and struggle with 10 pounds. I'm over 50 and find it difficult to lose but I am very motivated with this tracking system. I love putting in my exercise and seeing the calories added. Looking for friends who struggle like me.

    You. Can add me .i took off for the winter but I'm back I lost 23 lbs on hear and ready to lose more .
  • Hi there,

    I took the plunge and joined in the past month as my family told me (nicely) that I needed to lose a few pounds (more like 2 stone). I bought a set of scales and here I am! This is the first I have actually come online, normally I use the app on my mobile which is great for tracking calories and exercise on the move. To be honest, I didn't realise how much I was eating until I had the app, it's easier to be in a state of denial when you can 'forget' what you've had. I find now I'm also eating a lot healthier and consciously trying to exercise more! I only weigh myself once a week - Sunday is 'Weigh Day' so I can start the week fresh on a Monday. Trying to stick with it and make a more conscious effort. The app is always reminding me that you can lose three times more with a buddy so...here I am! :)

    Kind regards
    Flynn
