Hello everyone!
This is my first time trying out the community feature here, so I'm a little nervous!
In short, I'm looking for friends to help support me and keep me motivated! I'm not very good at the whole "self-motivation" thing, and do better when I know other people are going to be watching.
I've lost weight in the past, but never in a healthy way and the weight always came back.
This time I'm trying to not just lose weight, but make a positive and lasting lifestyle change.
I have a few health conditions (mainly endometriosis) that my doctor believes will benefit from weight loss, exercise, and clean eating, so that's what I want to do!
As some basic info, I'm 5'5", 21 years old, weigh 218lbs, and my goal weight is 130lbs.
I can't wait to make some friends and get healthy! :)

    My first time on the app today!
    I need mega chats, inspiration & motivation as I'm sure you all know that the hardest part is mental and resisting those urges - especially in a rubbish mood.
    Message me for mutual support and great banter :#

    Hello, I also struggle with my weight I am 4'11' and 165lbs which for someone as short as I am, is a lot! I would love to be around 120-130. If you would like to add me as a friend I am always looking for some extra support or to be the extra support :)
