    Just wondering what benefit of adding people is? Do you discuss how you're doing on a regular basis like a club? Is it to give yourself competition? Sorry am new to this and just wondered how to make use of the community section. Am in wales here.

    Hi Jim, it's personal to each of us. For some it's inspiration and support. For some it's a bit of fun, and yes it can be competitive if that's your streak. I find some of the information useful and friends are beneficial to see that it's not just me that is on this journey. There has been some eyewateringly funny posts on here for me so I get a positive mental attitude workout too.

    jjinwellies - I guess community friends are for inspiration and help if you need. We are all in the same boat in that we wish to loose weight and that shared interest can help each other.

    Yesterday I had close to zero sleep, a long and horrid day at work but I guess the fact that my diary is visible pushed me to do my usual exercise when all I really wanted to do was curl up and sulk lol. Maybe that's competitive, but for me it was a push to still get out there and do my walks as without exercise I wont shift the (many) stones I still have to lose. Although we have family and friends for the 'you look good you are losing weight' the online 'likes' and comments help too.

    Having the same country friends makes it easier for looking at people's food diaries if you want meal ideas as we all shop in similar supermarkets, no weird out there impossible to get ingredients :)
