Hey guys, I've been using the app for 16 days and am ready to commit. Sadly, I don't have anyone to share in the weight loss journey with me. I'm 23, female, 5'8, and down from 230 to 223 so far (weighing in again soon).I have a physically demanding job, so I don't work out often but I've been tracking my caloric intake. So far, it's been working for me, but I'm starting to feel discouraged because I feel alone in this. I know that sounds lame, haha, but I feel like this would be easier if I could see how others are handling it. Everyone I know is either very thin, eating normally, "fat and happy", or just plain judgemental and I need positive motivation. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope we can encourage each other as we step closer to our goals.

    Hang in there, we are here to help you through your journey! I lost 50 pounds and gained 20 back and now trying to get back to where I was. We can all do it together:wink:

    You've done so well on your own so far!! Be proud of that! Support does help in the long run and I'm sure you'll find a lot of that here. Sending you a request. :)

    Hey, I'm sort of new too. I've been using the app as well as the weight watchers app to track what I eat. I'm 19, female and I'm at 262 so I have quite a ways to go. I'm kind of in a similar boat as I don't really know anyone who is trying to lose weight. With the schedule I have of college classes and work I don't really work out besides walking to class on campus which helps a little. I can't afford to pay to go to the weight watchers meetings so this is the next best thing! I like knowing that there is a support group out there!

    I would be happy to be your weight loss buddy! I am a 32 year old guy who has lost a total of 169 lbs. Always nice to have someone to share the journey with!
