    How does the 'friends' thing work here? (Am new. Don't want to use FB; I just use that with family. Is there a separate 'friends/connection' ability here?)

    Thx!

    By the way, every time I get a craving, I start looking up the nutritional content of various foods on the app. I'm trying to distract myself, and so far it's helping. If I can keep myself otherwise engaged for 10 minutes or so, the craving usually passes. This is especially important because I work from home and the fridge and pantry are all too visible from where I sit. (Diet by distraction?)

    I'm also trying to pay attention to various nutrients that I think I have been significantly missing when I've tried to do this myself. Anyone else finding that they're doing better with nutrition in general, not just weight-loss?

    Hello, I am Adrienne. I have been struggling with losing about 20-30 pounds for a while now. Would love to have others working on the same goal to talk with and help each other to reach goals. And maybe make some new friends

    I'm also trying to loose 20 pounds. I lost 30 pounds a few years ago, but have gained 15 back over the last three years. I realized the one thing I haven't had in the last couple of years is accountability. Just knowing someone is waiting to hit the "like" button when the app says I exercised makes it a bit more motivating. I'm happy to add friends too!

    Overall I want to lose 20, but I'm starting with 10 pounds because 20 seems daunting to me lol plus I haven't had any change in weight for the last 2 months. So anybody can add me and we can work together!
