I have about 5/6 stone to lose and need lots of motivation. I'm 28 from the UK. Started a few days ago and have ordered a mini trampoline to exercise on :)

    I’m aiming to lose 25 pounds, but never exercise/stagnant lifestyle and as of late worst diet of my life. I’m 31 from US. Started today, have a gym membership, but primarily I’ll be walking and dieting. I starred this page, hope someone will reach out!!

    I am Affan from Pakistan. I am 18 years old. Last summer I decided to lose weight. I weighed at 100 kg (220 lbs) and had to lose around 23 kg (47 lbs). Running being the best option for me worked really great. As of today I weigh in at 86 kg (177 lbs) still more to go and lets see how it goes.

    Wow! Similar goal but a bit too out of shape to run (at least for now.) Did you log all your diet info in the app? Did you have any issues with that?

    I don't exercise at all at the minute because I have social anxiety so I'm gonna try the trampoline too see how that goes. Just little bits at a time so I don't pass out as that has happened before when I did 5 minutes of exercise too fast and stopped suddenly ended up fainting lol

    Hi, just seen on your profile you’re from Somerset. Me too!
    I’m 29 and have about a stone and a half to lose after having baby. Joined the gym yesterday but was really nervous but actually once doing my workout I felt amazing. I’m also exercising for my mental health as all of a sudden I’ve been getting really anxious so hoping that will help me feel better. Good luck with your trampolining, sound like a fun way to exercise

    Hey 29 from Ohio, USA. Looking to lose around 10-15 lbs. If anyone could add me that would be great! A little accountability goes a long way... and I will try to do the same!
