Hi everyone, my name's Stacey and although I've been registered on this for a few yrs now, I've only just started using this properly. I'm from the UK and I'm one of those people that needs help and encouragement from others to get the motivation I need to lose weight. I'm pushing onto 13stone and I have never in my life been this big before, even when I was pregnant. I'm struggling to lose the weight and to make things worse I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I know I'm not the only one to suffer with this but I know exercise and healthy eating can help minimize the symptoms of the above.

It would be nice to be able to build up a good base of motivated friends who know what it's like to be where I am so the the encouragement is there.

???? xx

    Hi,
    I am pretty new here and from the UK. I have been using the app for just over a month but only saw the forum today.
    I am a 43yr old type 2 diabetic and have finally woken up and realised I need to change the way I live.
    Would love to chat with anyone else on their journey.

    A scousecat here. Always too busy with kids, home, work and socialising to take the time to look after myself but after a recent life changing health issue I'm now thinking of me :smile:

    So I'm now being honest with myself and admitting that I'm not ok to be this big and it's not cuddly and cute. I'm obese and I'm so not proud of it.

    I'm happy to be your pal. And anyone else who would like to add me.

    Miaoww :bigsmile:
