    I'm in a slightly different position but would also love some weight loss friends to add to my account here. I'm 22, male, from the UK and looking to trim down just a little bit.

    I document everything I eat and feel like I've gained quite a bit of knowledge of hidden calories since my weight loss journey began when I was almost 5 stone heavier!

    Add me :)

    Hi I've just turned 30 and I let my health slide, due to low self esteem. Bt I promised myself that I want to get my body healthy and make some positive changes in my life.
    So count me in, we all need to support each other if we're going to get through this!

    Anyone can feel free to add me as well =)

    Hi Megan! I have postpartum depression now and have battled depression for years. I lost 100lbs 8yrs ago and it did help because for the first time I allowed myself to take care of myself and not just my children. But to allow myself to be number 1. I have some weight to lose again and also need motivated.

    Hi Megan, my name is Mercy, I am 49, mother of two and have been raising my niece 3 children for over 2 years now. I also have my first grandchild on the way in June. For health and just to feel better about me are the reasons I need to eat healthier and lose weight. I would love to be your buddy, I think it helps if you can feel accountable to someone.

    I'm always open to new friends!

    I work in the mental health profession, so I know some things from both sides - I have my own experiences with depression as well. Exercise has DEFINITELY helped me feel more in control and less depressed!
