in Introduce Yourself
Hi there, I'm Hannah, 5'5 and 185. From the UK but currently living in the US. I'm looking for a buddy so we can motivate each other, share tips on exercise and cooking/meals, and just generally support each other while achieving our goals! I put on loads of weight in the past few months, it just crept up on me, but now I know that something has to change! Let me know if you are interested!

    I have a lot of weight to lose myself, I probably won't be of a lot of help, as I'm a newb at losing weight as well, but I can be here mentally!

    Hi Hannah! & Welcome to the US!!

    I am also from the UK! Manchester chick right here. :) I'm 5'3 & 286 (yeeesssss I know. I'm a bit up there. Lol) I like cooking and sharing ideas and whatnot on like, exercises I did that day, different meal replacement smoothies, and gym meetups! Even if we don't live in the same town, we can Skype! :) It'd definitely be awesome to have a fellow Brit along on the journey with me. But anywho, you can count me in on this journey with you! Let me know if that sounds like something you're up to!

    Hi there, I am a newb too, you can add me. I know a lot about weight loss and nutrition. I have a super strict diet due to food intolerances and I love to exercise so I can help motivate you. I am an Aussie chick so getting used to pounds.

    Yaayy!!! It's like, a UK party in here! hahaha!! Totally agree on the support. It generally makes people happy knowing they have someone behind them backing them up. I just accepted your request! xx

    Go to the ticker, click on change ticker settings (or something like that), then select customize. You can put any picture you want in there :drinker:

    Hey!
    I'm on every day and I make it a point to be on my friend's *kitten* when I see they've been inactive. I have a pretty good handle on my cooking and all of that mess, decent recipes watching sodium and calorie levels, everyone here can feel free to add me if they'd like. I'd be more than happy to take the journey with all of you.
