in Motivation and Support
SW250 GW 120

I’m looking for buddies to help keep me motivated or join me in my weight loss adventure! I can’t promise to be perfect but I promise to never give up and to always support you too!

Feel free to add me and we can do this together!

About me? I’m 26, 5’2 and work in IT so I sit all day at work, I want to start doing monthly exercise challenges, food goals and eating right and training hard! I want to help save myself before something happens!

    Hi there! Good on you for getting into it before you get older and it gets harder. Are you living in NZ??

    Hi. Second attempt to post. App quit... anyhoo, I'm on a 100 pound journey too. I've messaged a few people here on the community but have gotten no replies. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

    According to a large-frame BMI calculator I should weigh around 155 which would be 100+ loss for me. Right now my goal is set at 199 and I want to evaluate when I get there to see what's next for me. Started at 266 a few weeks ago and am currently 260. I also work a desk job and I'm working on a masters degree so there's not much time for movement. We have quite the journey ahead of us but I know it's possible!!

    I’m a part of the 100+ club too. CW 290 GW 155, but not sure that’s where my body will go. 5’9” mid 40s, yo-yo dieter. Heaviest I’ve ever been.

    Hello, I’ve been doing keto for 5 weeks SW244 CW 228 GW 145 I’m also 5’2”
    It’s been a great adventure doing keto! the first 2 weeks are hard but I started losing pounds so that kept me going. Not sure if your into trying a lchf diet but lowering your carb intake and cutting out sugars will be a great help! :)

    Hi guys!! Please feel free to add me, I’ve tried and fell off the wagon many times, mostly due to lack of accountability. I’d love the support and to give support as well! After a recent medical issue I realized my weight had creeped up to 270lbs 5’8”. I wish all of you luck and strength in this journey!

    Hi I just re-joined and I have over 100 lbs to lose as well!! When I first started I only needed to lose 40 and over the past year I’ve ballooned to 299lbs...I refuse to breach that 300 mark and I need to loose 100 to get to 199! Today’s my birthday and my gift to myself is to become more accountable for the decisions I make...so I need all the help I can get!!

    I could use support buddies as well. I still have a long ways to go. I peaked at about 533 pounds and am now around 479. My ultimate goal is to be near 279.

    I also need to lose around 100 lbs. Lost 10 since Christmas. I had lost a few more...like 7 lbs but recently gained it back due to stress and anxiety. I'm 230 right now. My current goal is to get to 'onederland'. Under 200. LOL I'm 67 and retired and lazy. If I could get motivated it would be great. I joined the small gym at the local senior center but don't go. But I need to. I also have diabetes so losing weight would be ideal.
