Hi there! I have recently had surgery to remove part of my kidney due to cancer. I desperately need to get to a healthy weight as my obesity caused complications in my surgery. It is no longer about wanting to look a certain way or wear a certain pair of jeans, this is now about survival. I mean, I guess it always was about fixing my health but now I have a new reality of what that means. I'm looking to add friends so we can motivate each other.

    Hi. I'm new here too. I did this a couple years ago and then got discouraged and quit. I have a short attention span if I'm not seeing progress. So. I signed up again and would like to find a few friends for accountability. I'll send you a friend request if I can figure out how. :smile:

    I'm newly back too but with more superficial goals. I am generally trying to incorporate self discipline into my entire life for the 1st time.

    I am back after some very serious illness. Not wanting to share a lot of info on my problems on line, but looking for support in trying to maintain a healthy diet. Not about how I look these days. Please add me as a friend.

    Feel free to add me! My life event was not nearly as severe in comparison, but it focused me in a way I never experienced before and I've stuck with fitness ever since.
