Hi All,

I'm really looking for a pal (or few!) to help keep motivated. I'm losing about 20 lbs, and am getting nowhere. I think having a team of support is so important, so if anyone is interested in being friends...

About me: 27 years old, living in Boston, aspiring fashion designer, trying to eat healthier, doing bikram, wants to get back into running (too much snow), has a bf who eats poorly/ doesn't exercise & doesn't gain weight, pear shaped and frustrated with my hips & thighs.

Whose in?

    Hey there! I'm totally in! :)

    I'm 28 and live in Michigan. While I have quite a bit more weight to lose then you, I'm also trying to get back into running (well jogging, technically lol). We also have too much snow to run but I got a treadmill a few months back fortunately so I'm just using that for now.

    I also have a boyfriend who eats poorly and doesn't exercise either and he is way skinnier than me so I totally understand your frustration!! We live together as well so it's even harder to stay on track with him always eating horrible right in front of me! :'(

    Anyway I'll send you a friend request!

    I'm in! I have more weight to lose as well and have a husband that does work out but he can eat a bag of chips in one sitting! And won't gain weight. I'm 25 newly married and currently not working so weight loss is my job for now.

    Hi there!
    I am in too! I'm 32 and I'm working towards losing about 20lbs too.
    My bf eats poorly also! It's like pulling teeth sometimes to get him to be active with me!
    I'm also looking for some more support if anyone wants to add me. I've been doing OK the past month and a half and would love to have more peeps to share it with!

    I'm in!!! 34 yrs old and 210 lbs. I'd like to get down about 70 to 80 lbs. Would love any pals for motivation and support, so anyone please feel free to add me. You can do this! I just started using the friends feature this week and my motivation and desire to get fit has really taken off with more positive feedback.

    Hi! 26 and from western mass. I've lost 17 but have at least 20 more to go. My boyfriend is a power lifter/strongman so he eats whatever, whenever, and how much ever he wants. Bigger is better for him and I let that take my waistline up in the last two years! My diary is open and I'd love to help you out and support each other!

    If you look at my diary I've decided to be brutal. There's an entry from a week or so back when we had take out for my mums birthday - THOUSANDS OF CALORIES! I logged it because i needed to see how much an off day can cost. Next time I may try to have a little more control...
