in Introduce Yourself
Hi all! I'm new here, I think I signed up for the app a while ago and never used it, but I'm starting fresh today. I've gotten motivated through fitness blogs, friends, and my family's recent success with weight loss. It's time for a change!

I'm 24, a Photographer, and live in Sacramento. I'd love some online support friends, but if you're looking for a local workout buddy let me know!

Have a great day all!

-Morgan E

    Hi, and welcome!! Thanks for the friend request. I just turned 25 and I work in the medical field. I wish I lived near you, I am in desperate need of a workout buddy.
    Best of luck to you!!

    Hi. I'm new as well, started on Sunday. I also have just over 100lb to lose. However Sheffield UK is a little far for a workout buddy! Would be happy to have some online support friends though. :smile:

    Well I too need to drop over 100lbs. Today I'm wanting to start up again. I have a friend at church that's really been putting forth effort to drop the weight. I'm 34yrs old. Have high blood pressure, pre-diabetic, acid reflux, high trigs that are all controlled with medications. I'm tired of the barrage of medications I have to take to keep things in line and it only seems to slightly help. The weight is what's causing all this. The pills are a band-aid effect...I know this, and need to get serious about it. I'm shortening my life by not getting it under control. Add me as a friend we can give each other all support. I need all of it I can get.

    Hi everyone! I'm not near Sacramento, but I live in California if that means anything? hahaha I just recently started using this app (again) not too long ago. I didn't realize how cool it is and all it entailed! I just used it to log my food and wasn't really seeing any benefits out of it, but now that I've been going to the gym for 3 weeks, it's helping me stay on track. I'm hoping to make friends & if anyone is close enough, maybe go to the gym (I live in Oxnard). I also need positive role models in my life because I don't have a lot of friends in my situation. I would like to lose 150 pounds, I was pre-diabetic & have recently been diagnosed with type 2, I also have high blood pressure. I'm trying REALLY hard to stay focused and on track. Anything to help is appreciated! Hope everyone has a great & productive day!
