    Hey, I'm Simone, 22, I'm an Australian living in Toronto, I'm trying to lose my "I've never not been overweight" weight. I'm 227lbs (103kg) at the moment, 5"7 (170cm), hoping to get to 160lbs (70 or so kg)

    I'm looking for people to chat to because all my friends are back home, so I want to know all about you guys!

    Hi there! My name is Clio I live in NYC. I weigh 146lbs which doesn't sound like a lot but when you 5'1" it's is. I just want to lose some weight and look healthy but struggle with my sugar intake (and being a pastry chef doesn't help me)

    I'm also looking for friends to support and help motivate me and in turn would like to do the same

    Cheers guys!

    Hey ladies I'm Sandy. I live in Florida and I'm trying to get back to my fit weight of 125. I was almost 200lbs after gaining after working the midnight shift. I lost 50lbs so far with the help of insanity workout. Good luck to everyone in reaching their goals :-)

    Hihi! I'm Rae, and I live in CA. I've lost 20 lbs since I started lifting, but I'm struggling with these next 10 lbs to get to my current goal weight of 130 lbs (I am 5'3"). I'm challenging myself to log everyday through 7/8, which will be my longest streak ever! I want to see what happens when I'm being diligent. Please add me if you want to join me in this challenge!

    Hey ladies! My name is Mary! My husband and I started this journey together a month ago. In that time, I have lost 20 pounds! I started at 228 and I am now at 208. I am looking to get to 170 or below. When I met my husband 7 years ago, I was 160. I guess I lost track of myself and I am ready to kick some *kitten* and get in shape! Feel free to add me!

    Hiya! I'm 63, 5-foot-5 (I've lost 2.5" since college <sigh>) and about 164 lbs. Hoping to get to 150, but for now I'm aiming at losing 10.

    I live in New Orleans, home of Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken and lots of other tasty but not-so-healthy foods. Over the decades I've tried loads of diets. Lost the most with Weight Watchers, but gained it back and more. Maxed at something north of 210 and have plateaued after losing 40-plus. Finally decided to really work at this. (And 1200 calories a day is work.)

    I'm a reporter who sings in a chorus, writes limericks for a strange but (largely) clean website (and you can choose not to see the others), and also hangs out at a website for readers and writers (I helped run it for a longish time, then decided that I wanted a bit more time. Super people in all three places).

    Clio - as a pastry chef who's trying to lose weight, you're in a challenging but great position. Create pastries that are at least moderately healthy but still taste good, and I bet you'd sell a bundle. Heck - I've looked all over for the mythical 2-ounce whole-wheat bagel so I can slice it in half and count each half as a serving of bread. I've been buying Sara Lee's mini-bagels, but a 2-ouncer, even sliced in half, would look so much bigger on the plate!

    Nicole, Sandy, Rae, Cindy and Mary, great jobs losing!

    Carolynn and Simone, you've made a great step by looking for company on the healthy path.

    Any and alla y'all are welcome to friend me.

    Hey guys! Name is Kevin and a geeky IT guy from Boston, but living in Idaho the last 9 years. My highest weight was about 270lbs. I'm currently at 238 and hoping to break the 200 mark sooner than later.

    I have some horrible snacking habits, especially when I'm gaming later at night. I also enjoy the occasional alcoholic drink or 4...ugh.

    Anyway, been trying to find people that like to bust my *kitten* when I cheat and encourage me when I do well. Feel free to add me if I don't come off too weird or creepy lol.

    Hello everyone,
    My name is Poppy. I'm a huge book nerd who works at a desk all day and have continued to eat like a teenager. I'm 5'2" and recently weighed in at 149lbs. I know that doesn't sound like much but it's made a big difference recently and it's a full 13 pounds more than last year. I realized I can't keep up the same eating habits and I need help. I've been at this for almost two weeks now and I'm looking to build the community aspect to keep myself accountable. Because I know if I don't I'll just end up spending my nights reading about exercise and not actually doing it.
    So I'm ready. Add me. I've already started adding some of you.
