just re started this app .. Kinda lost and confused at the moment as I've moved to a brand new state and don't know anyone but my boyfriend who works an extreme amount of hours . I'd really like to interact with some positive motivational friends who can help me with tips to start exercising and portion control . Thank u and good luck to everyone on their own personal journeys !

    Take each day at a time, do better today than yesterday, plan ahead, keep fresh veggies for snacks in between meals. Good luck! I have lost 8lbs clean eating with Advocare am loving the results... You got this gurl!

    Personally when I decided to lose weight I purchased new measuring cups and a food scale. I had no excuses to why I wasn't portioning out my food. The second thing that helped me was finding a 0 calorie drink that I liked (hot tea) and I drank it any time I thought I was hungry. Exercise is hard, start with something you like and work on it. Then try something new = ]

    Hello Im new to this app. 2 weeks ago i started a diet and I have lost 3 lbs but had to stop due to a knee surgery. That was wed. Now I am starting all over. I have only my husband to support me in my journey and would like to make friends on here that share the same goals and support.
