Hello. My name is Ashley and I am 26 and currently have about 50 pounds to lose. I am looking for motivational, fun friends. I am 5'6" and have always been between 170-230. I am hoping motivational friends will be the push I need this time.

    Hello Ashley :). I'm sort of in the same boat, looking for fun and motivational friends so that I can finally lose pounds this time. You can do it! Just gotta keep at it.

    Hi Ashley - I am in the same boat - plus I am getting married in July. I need motivation from others and people who will hold me accountable. I just started back on TurboJam 5 weeks ago - I did 3 days the 1st two weeks - 2 days the 3rd week - none the 4th week and now, since Monday 24th, I have done TurboJam 5 times and TurboSculpt 2 times.

    Dear Friend,
    We are on the same journey and I would like to share four tools that have the ability to ensure our success:

    1. A definable, written need to change.
    2. A fact based plan that we can believe in and work daily.
    3. A focus more powerful than any negativity we encounter.
    4. A heart felt vision that we see, feel and rehearse daily.

    Watch the video- Eat Fast and Live Longer by Dr Michael Mosley.
    .

    No companies to join, no products to buy. Just incredible results
    based on wide-ranging scientific research.

    I hope that you find this film as valuable as I have. It's a life changer...changed mine. I'm over 30lbs down, feeling great, with all vitals back to normal.

    Looking forward to seeing you out on the trail,
    All the best,
    Barry

    Hello, I'm hoping this site can help me lose weight, no one in my family is dedicated or even interested in losing weight, which is kind of a bummer for me. I know that may sound silly, but I'm trying a new approach, I wish you the best.

    Feel free to add me......I am new to this sight but not new to losing weight ( I did join here about 2 yrs. ago, but never got the hang of the sight so left it). I am determined to make this work for me this year!! We can all use some motivation and support!!

    My goal is 30lbs. I recently started using myfitnesspal again as I am trying to lose baby weight. I am also a beachbody consultant, and if you are interested in being part of a family, where we motivate each other, and strive to be healthy, let me know!!!
