I've lost 30 pounds and have used this app for about 6 months. I'm a college student and don't have any friends with similar goals! I've heard there is a great social component to this app but I've never explored it. Meeting friends with similar goals would be great! I just need to figure out how to utilize the community function

    I'm also a college student! You can go ahead and add me if you'd like; just attach a message to your request. :)
    The community here is very encouraging, and I really like the focus on progress over destination, and on health and fitness here. You'll learn a lot just by lurking on discussion threads.

    I'm a college student! I have lost about 30 lbs, but it was during high school. I've gained some since then and just wanna lose those last few lbs while staying and healthy!

    Hey! I'm 18 years old, still in high school. I love fitness and have managed to build a great amount of muscle over the years but I am now looking to shred the fat. My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds and to cut out binge eating because it's a damn filthy habit I have. Anyways, I'd love to be fit friends!!
