Hey everyone! I'm Sylvia and I'm 21 from Canada :) ! I'm new to this app but I've been trying to lose weight for a while now! Basically I want to be the same weight I was a few years ago... Somehow I gained 15 pounds out of nowhere. I think that would be the "freshman 15" since I'm a student. I love eating junk food etc, especially chips :pensive: haha. I've just started restricting my food, and starting yesterday my calorie intake. I would love some fitness buddies who are going through the same struggles so we can motivate each other and help each other through this!! Comment and I'll add you! :smile:

    Good morning Sylvia! I am a 54 year old grandma of 16! I have been on this journey since I had children (29 years ago). I would love to encourage each other. I really want to be at a healthy weight and STAY there. I used to eat junk food now I would rather eat vegetables and fruits. It has amazed me how my eating as progressed over the years.

    Congratulations on keeping up your journey for 29 years! That's amazing! I hope I can stay committed for that long, and I hope we can motivate each other to keep going :smiley:

    You've picked a good place for added motivation. I lost 50 lbs here a couple years back. Sadly, I gave up MFP and promptly put half that back on. Anyhow, I'm a daily logger with no negativity.

    This app works! Unfortunately, when I stopped using it I added the weight I lost back on. Every time I want to eat something I enter it first just to see how that would affect my daily log and it definitely helps you make better choices! Good luck on your journey!

    Hey there Sylvia! My name is Kaela and I'll be 21 this September! I know how it can feel to gain the freshman 15, but mine became the freshman 25.
