I'm currently looking for an accountability buddy with a similar weight loss goal to mine (100 to 150 pounds to lose), and would be fine with anyone so long as they're positive/committed. That said, I'd love to find friends with interests similar to my own (anime, gaming, languages, sewing...) as well. So, if you're interested in being a buddy or adding me as a friend, please feel free to do so! ^_^

    My husband and I play TESO on PS4. I've lost 25 lbs since March, and have 109 to go. He can share his numbers with you, but we're all in the same boat.

    I'm taking Welsh on Duolingo and I'm into comics and OUAT. I've been writing fanfic for about 14 years. I've only got about 61lbs to lose, but it was 124 8 months ago.

    I am a total nerd. I love gaming, am learning French, Italian, and Spanish in my spare time, and spend the rest of my time catering for my insects and plants. (Yes I collect both) I have about 70 pounds left to lose.

    I'm a geek, but not much of a nerd. I LOVE science, sci-fi and never could get into gaming (especially now with 2 little kids). 16 of 100 lbs gone so far. Could use more motivation
