Hi my name is Tonya and I am 27yr old single mom and student and I am going to lose 50lbs. My weight has always been a roller coaster. I lose it, gain it all back plus 10 over and over again. I lose the weight and then as soon as life gets crazy stressful I binge eat and gain it back. I will finish school pretty soon with BS in Criminal Justice. Many potential careers have a fitness and weight requirement so I am determined to finally overcome this struggle. I would appreciate you guys support.

    Hi Tonya, I am new also, I've had the app on my phone for a while but have only been seriously using it this past week. I'd love to be a support for each other! I need to lose a total of 73 pounds. I lost 6.4 this first week but I know I'll need support! And you don't have to pay me! :wink:

    Almost done with school?! Way to go! You'll lose this weight in no time and get a really cool job. Congrats again on finishing school. I'm in school right now and have three kids and don't expect to be through until I'm about 30 :)

    WOW! High 5, and ***** 5 gold stars for going back to school. If you can do that, you can do ANYTHING! Our age and weight loss goals are simular. Feel free to add me. I would enjoy the company on this long road.
