in Introduce Yourself
You know that old adage, where people trying to lose weight are told that it's better with friends?

I need friends. I've tracked and tracked, but without someone there with me, knowing what I'm going through and there to help on the bad days and for me to help in return, I'm lost. My best friend just moved to AZ, and I'm stuck.

So here I am, opening up and tracking and getting involved in the community here. Here's to (hopefully) the last shot at losing weight I'll ever have to make. This one's gonna stick!

    Being a part of this community has certainly helped me. I just moved to a new city so I know what it's like doing this without friends. I'll add you & maybe we can be supportive of each other :smile:

    That's me in a nutshell. I joined a fitness challenge for August and have met some awesome people! Before that, I was just using the calorie tracker and was not involved with the online community at all. Feel free to add me as a friend! The more support the better :)

    I absolutely know what you're talking about! My husband is doing this program with me, and although he is technically following the same rules as I am, he is losing much more weight much more quickly than I am, and many of my friends are not into being healthy and eating right... so a lot of the time I feel like I'm on my own! I would love to be friends and cheer each other on!!

    I'm starting a 6 week challenge called Sexy in Six. I just posted the information on the forums. Check it out! We'd love to have you! It's going to be a positive, encouraging, interactive support system to lose weight. Any ladies are welcome to join!

    Ditto. I've been tracking my calories and exercise for a month, but only posted for the first time this week. I am in a new city on the east coast and my friends and family are all on the west coast. Its a challenge and blessing. By blessing I mean out of the eyes of judgement I sometimes get from my family, especially my sister. She has never had weight issues and is an avid runner.

    My daughter put this app on my phone 1 month ago. I started using it yesterday and I think I'm in love. I am a visual and goal oriented girl and it is so much fun to track my calories and see how all my hard work is paying off. Having friends to share in my and their success is just a bonus. Feel free to add me if you like. Would be great to cheer you on!:flowerforyou:
