New Friends!

OK! I'm Joelle, and I'm 24 years old... working full time, going to school part time for criminal justice.

I have finally decided to lose some weight due to the fact of feeling insecure around the other women in my church. They are already more educated than I am, and they are all so health and beautiful. Not doing it to compete (well... maybe a little), but to feel good about myself too! I have lost 10 lbs already, working on about 30 more! Who wants to be motivational friends?

  • I would love to be your motivational friend! I'm 26 and have just started last week. I'm hoping to lose 30 pounds. I work full time and I'm a new mom! My baby girl is 3 1/2 months old.
  • Hi Joelle! My name is Stephanie and I'm in the same boat as far as losing weight because of insecurities. I have about 17 to lose and I just started the process. I have a husband , 3 busy kids and a full time job in the evenings/nights. It's hard when you don't feel your best and I want to change that!! Maybe we can motivate each other?
