I downloaded this app a year ago when I was 35 pounds lighter but I gave up because I thought, "Who cares?" but I'm back a year later and unfortunately heavier and I REALLY want to be successful this time so I'm looking for some friends that will help me stick to it! I was always fairly small and then I moved to a tiny town and there's no one here to do anything with and the grocery store is full of crappy food that's unhealthy. Their produce section is a joke so I ended up gaining weight fairly quickly. I'm sick of hating what I see in the mirror but I talk myself out of healthy options so easily. So, anyone who wants to add me and keep me motivated, go for it! I'll be a rad motivator in return! Also looking for good recipes that are healthy and don't taste awful. Haha. I love to cook. :)

    I'm having some success now after years of yo-yo'ing. Now, I don't eat flour or sugar. That rule alone has made my food choices more simple. If I am hungry between meals I eat a poached egg or two and wait 15 minutes before I make a decision to eat. Good luck.

    Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all of the support. I'm actually looking forward to making healthier decisions. So far I haven't really made any huge dietary changes. I eat more fruits and vegetables than I normally did and I avoid sugar (which isn't hard because I've never really been a big fan of sweets). I think my biggest problem is going to be drinking in a few days for my dad's birthday and then again 2 weeks after that for Halloween and my birthday.
