    Hi I am Jess, 26 years old from the UK.

    I'm just looking for some friends and support on here really! I am about 200lbs at the minute and just want to see what I can lose by eating healthier, more fruit and veg and less junk! I have joined the gym too :)

    Would also love to meet people with a similar starting weight to me or anyone who just wants to get healthier by basically eating better and exercising... not stupid fad diets! I also like blogging so I would love to meet people who like to read and write blogs on here.

    Anyway that's enough about me, please say hi if you want some more friends :)

      Hi I'm a similar weight to you I just had a baby which is disabled and given me a better perspective on life. I want to eat healthy and be fitter for my children. I think I would achieve this by making friends and to spur each other on

      Hey Jess, welcome to the club. You have taken an important step. I have found that recording all my meals have helped me. I also try to walk 3 miles every day and I dont add those calories back to be used. This really helps me to loose my 2 pounds a week.
      Good luck to you and stay the course!

      Back on the recording food as when I don't I eat sooo much more. I also got a Garmin, instead of a fitbit. Slightly cheaper but does the same thing. I am teachme32 on Garmin and bandedup on fitnesspal.
      I need food ideas, I get tired really fast and start grabbing the chips quickly.
      Feel free to add me as a friend.

      Hello, I'm 217 at the moment and would like to get down to 168 eventually but my first goal is 200. I've tried loads of times before but this time its more about losing it for my health so slow and steady is fine with me. Good luck.x

      Hi - I'm trying to do the same. I've lost 11 pounds in about 5 weeks, but I'm getting a little tired of eating the same food. I would love to share recipes and ideas with anyone who wants to add me as a friend.

      Hi!
      Eating healthy and exercising is the way to go! When I decided to change my lifestyle I weighted 198. I lost 28 lbs in a matter of 3 months with just healthy eating and exercising. No crazy diets or starving myself. There's no need for that. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it. I'm back to my FitnessPal and liking to find new friends for motivation as well. If you want any tips or healthy recipes let me know. I'll b glad to share them with Ya. Add me if you'd like :)
