Please feel free to send me friend request!

Love this idea, really exciting!

I haven't weighed myself since early December when I was 162. My journey began last January when I was at 178 and I got down to 154 by last Summer. I went back up to about 168 in October and then lost 6 lbs to get back to 162 in early December lmao. However I'm definitely feeling the Christmas excess and got back on the health train on Friday. To say my weight fluctuates is the understatement of the century. I really need to just face the music and weigh myself so I can start properly again but I'm thinking of healthily eating for a week or two first to soften the blow haha.

Age: 19
Current: around 166 estimate
Goal: 130
Height: 5'6
My goal consumption is 1200 calories a day but realistically i usually go over to around 1300. I walk ALOT so must burn a hell of a lot of calories.

Goal exercise: ALOT of walking as per usual, trampolining and dancing for at least 40 minutes a day.

I'm not sure how I join!

I'm not following a specific plan other than, get more active and eat less junk!

This sounds great! I am new to having a support group and tracking but would love to join. Let me know what to do.

Age: 30
Height 5'7"
Current: 189
Goal: 135
Exercise goal- nightly walk/ jog 3x week.

I would love to join because I have a long way to go and I need a good motivational support team. Plus I love learning what works for different people. If I'm not 110% immersed into my fitness journey I have a hard time staying on track. I've derailed myself over trips time and time again.
