in Motivation and Support
Hi everyone!

My name's Cassandra and I've been using this app pretty successfully for almost 3 months now. I've lost 17 pounds and still enjoy my daily logging, but I guess the "excitement" has worn a bit and it's more routine now.

So I was hoping to find some more friends on here who post daily to help add to the motivation and share in each other's victories! Please feel free to send me a friend request or share more about yourself here!

For more about me:
I'm a 29 year old attorney from Kentucky. I'm married with 3 cats and a dog, all of whom are my rocks. I've recently started a movie blog, and I love video games. I have about 8 more pounds to go to get to my first mini goal.

I don't focus on goals like that too much though, just daily progress!

    Hi! My name is Julia, I’m 38, I live in Los Angeles, I’m married and have a three year old boy, a cat and three dogs.

    I love working out but I’ve had a hard time with food the last few years and since having my son can’t seem to get the weight off. I have about 15 lbs I need to lose and would love an accountability partner.

    Hi. Back to MPF and almost strict keto lifestyle. In 2012 I lost 75lb with this lifestyle hit a plateau and have gained and lost the same 10 lbs since then. I have lost those 10 lbs and they are not coming back. I have about 75 lbs more to go.
    Definitely need friends for motivation and support and like to reciprocate.

    I’m in a program at Kaiser! I need to lose a lot! I get discouraged when I just lose a pound a week! I need to train my mind that it’s healthy! Too much a week would be bad!

    Hi, I am Chris, 43 from Washington State. Feel free to send a friend request if you like (open invitation to all) - I try to keep the "why" I am doing this in front of me, try to find little ways each week to improve and truly embrace the idea of a journey versus short-term outcomes. We can learn a lot about who we are when we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings and can use them to our advantage in what ever goal areas we have. Hope you all have a great week!

    Hello!
    Feel free to add me!
    I’m from New York. I work as a therapeutic riding instructor. It can be a very active job half the time, but the other half is note taking and progress reports. Which means a lot of computer time.
    I am also a student. I try to stay as active as possible to keep fit and feeling strong!
    I have about 8 pounds as well to hit my “goal weight”.

    Hi I’m Nichole from SE Wisconsin.
    A few years ago I lost 60 pounds and was only about 10 pounds from my goal weight when I slid back into old habits and gained it all back in half the time it took to lose it.
    I’m just looking for some support and maybe a walking/running partner if anyone lives close.
    Friend requests welcome

    I have about 60 to lose and I’ve also been here before. I’ve gained all my weight back plus some. My first time here I wasn’t making the best choices, so I lost a lot in a short period of time. I am trying to do things differently this time. You’re welcome to add me :)
