Hi, my name is Rach and I'm new to this app. I have struggled with my weight all my life but I am now the biggest I have ever been. I now finally have the urge to seriously change my lifestyle.
I'm searching for people that wants to take the journey together, to motivate, teach, learn n support together.
I really look forward to talking to you soon.

    Hi, feel free to add me, I was in exactly the same position as you, so I decided that 2015 would be the year to re-invent myself! I am a month in and feel so much better! If I have a day that I feel like I am slipping! I pop into a clothes shop and look at all the clothes I want to buy when I reach my goal!! Its really motivating!! and the urge to splurge on food goes!! ......You can do this!! buts its a better and nicer journey to have a few friends to help along the way xx

    Hey Rach, I am in a very similar place as you. I am the biggest I have ever been and I found out that I have an under active thyroid which is not helping my case. I started using this app to help me eat right about 3 weeks ago. After my two week progress weight I was down 8lbs. I would love to help you stay motivated if you would help me!

    Hi. Ive lost 4 stone since last summer using this app. Feel free to add me. I suggest starting with a goal of 2000 calories for a week. Then every time u eat add it all on your list. Youll be amazed at how much or little u eat. Then each week drop it by 50 or 100. U need to get control first. U feel great knowing you are in control. I found my magic number is 1350 calories. I eat what I want no magic foods. I just stop when I hit my goal. Some days I eat 2000 cal but check I hit my weekly goal. Always eat when ur hungry always log it and slowly reduce your calories. Worked for me. I was 17.2 last jan. Now 13.1 : )
    101.
