Hihi! I've been up and down my entire life and recently regained the last 40 pounds I managed to lose over the last year so it's time to get back on the horse and make this happen :D

I need to lose around 100-120 pounds to be back in my ideal range so I've got a good way to go T.T Most of my friends have quit the app so I'm looking for some new, active friends that are going to help keep me motivated! If you happen to like video games, kittens, tea, or cupcakes -- bonus :o

    I don't have a Fitbit but I use an Apple Watch. I wonder if we can find any apps that work on both? I'll start poking around the interwebs and see what I can find. Adding you too!

    I have had my share of challenges with weight loss as well. Last year I was doing real good and then I gave up. Renewed my efforts in December and I am still trucking along but I can always use some and give some encouragement!!

    You can add me as a friend if you like. I just quite smoking and gained over 10 pounds. I know that does not sound like a lot, but when you add that to all the weight I gained from over eating and not exercising. I will do what I can to help you stay motivated. Good luck and just remember "You are stronger than you think"!

    Hey there! I have had a number of false starts over the last year, but I'm looking to now get back into things... I'm 4 days in now of exercise and food logging, and feeling amazing right now.
    Definitely would love to find some motivation partners!
    First thing I did was make a list of 5 short term goals (for the week) -- well on the way of those, and then I'll reset at the end of the week, I'd be happy to share (actually, I posted it on my timeline) if you want.

    I have been on a roller coaster ride also. I had lost about 20 pounds doing a fun little weight loss challenge with my co-workers and then I switched departments and gained alot of it back. Then I had a baby about 5 months ago. So it is time to get back at it. Feel free to add me. We can motivate each other!

    Oh yes, I know how that feels! I've been see-sawing the same 10 pounds for the past year, and this month I've started to buckle down again in trying to get my weight and life in general back on track. I'm in the same boat as you in needing to lose 100-110 lb to be at my ideal weight, and I've been wanting more friends here too! Looking forward to seeing your updates! Anyone else feel free to add me as well! :p

    I feel your pain! I have over 75 lbs to loose! Between medications and getting over pneumonia, I'm finding it hard to stay motivated. I have a Fitbit and would love to have friends on this journey. Please add me! :smile:
