Hi everyone Ive been using the app a couple of months and managed to lose 10lbs so far. I'm struggling a bit sticking to a plan so this is my first venture onto the boards. I'm 41 (eek), with 2 girls one 18 and one 5 ( big age gap), so I spend most of my time running around after kids and a husband. I would really like some diet buddies so I don't give up!! I've got about another 40lbs to lose.

    Hi,

    Add me as a friend if you want. I've been here for a couple of months and have made a good circle of friends, who I am sure would be happy to have one more friend too. I'm 53 and very overweight and have lost 20 lbs since I joined. I'm still feeling very motivated and committed as i have a few health issues that I really want to improve and losing weight is definitely the way to go. I'm going to be hanging around for a long time as its going to take ages for me to get to my target and I would be happy to offer my support. You can contact me anytime. Good luck with your campaign.

    Hi Everybody!

    I'm new to this too, I feel so young on here but I want to better myself. I'm a 19 year old college student going into her second year. I've become so over weight I refuse to take pictures because every time I see them I want to cry. I've always had trouble with my weight growing up but most of all i lacked support from my family. Since they always knew me as over weight every time I tried to lose weight they would put me down. I decided to use this site to try and get some support from others who also want to better themselves and live a healthier life. We can all get and do better together! :)

    You can add me. I'm 39 with 3 girls ages 13 ( she thinks she's 18), 11, and 8. Like you, I stay busy chasing them around and running them to their various activities. I have 11 more pounds to lose.

    Welcome, Lilli. I'm a 38 yr old mom of a tween and a teen and I have 30-40 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me if you're looking for new friends. I always say that every little pat on the back for getting a workout done or sticking to your calories helps us along the way.

    Hi...feel free to add me (anyone). I just recently lost about 1/3 of my 'excess' weight, so I'm kind of in the groove. I can always improve though, and that's where you guys come in! :-)
