Looking for friends during this journey! :)

Hi everyone! My name is Jenn and I am 26 years old. I have made it my goal to become more fit and healthy in 2016. I know that diets and too many restrictions don't work for me, I give up because I feel like I have failed when I don't stick with it. I have decided to have a different outlook by trying to eat healthy, make better decisions, and start exercising regularly. I believe then I will see the results I want without feeling deprived or unsuccessful. I never had to worry about my weight before, but since having my thyroid removed a few years ago I have been struggling with my weight. I could definitely use some friends to stay motivated and I will do the same for you! We are all in this together! Just add me! :)

    Hi Jenn!! I am also looking for friends to keep me motivated on my fitness journey. I've never truly been dedicated to losing the weight but I promised myself 2016 would be the year. Good luck on your fitness journey and feel free to add me as a friend, we can motivate each other.

    Hi. I've had this app for some time through 2015 and always gave up, then started again.. I believe it's because I haven't seen others success or had support. 2016 is going to be different, I am going to change and find the willpower to be motivated - it will be great to be apart of a group. Feel free to add me :-)

    @darrenshillam007 Yes! I have had the same exact problem in the past! I have never used the community forums though so I am hoping that will help as well. 2016 is going to be our year! :)
