    Hello Everyone :) I'm Angela, from Belfast. Started my weightloss in November and have dropped about 20lbs so far. Had a few snags along the way but worked myself through them. Looking for a good support network as I continue moving forward to hit my goal. Hope you are all well!!

    I'm Sam, 31, from Portland. Four weeks ago, I went to my doctor and weighed in at 220, so I decided to make some changes. Since then I've lost 16.5 lbs. My goal is to get down to 180 by Christmas, and ultimately to maintain at somewhere around 160 or 170.

    Hi, I'm in Portland ME - I live near Baxter Boulevard so if there are people nearby who want to walk (any pace) it would be great to meet up with you! I would love to become one of those "runners" (I have heard of them anyway) - anyone game? I'm really starting from scratch.

    Hi all. I'm Holli - I'm originally from Maine, born and raised near Waterboro. But I'm currently active duty Navy, stationed in Virginia. I will be getting out this summer and moving HOME (after 9 years of living everywhere else!) so I hope its ok that I'm here. I had a baby last year and still haven't got rid of this baby weight. I need to lose 20lbs just to pass my PT test in 10 weeks. And then another 10 after that to be back to my pre-baby weight; and of course I'd like to lose an extra 10. So, total 40. :) feel free to add me.

    Hey all, I'm BlakeKelly, I live in Waterboro [but moving far north in a few years, can't wait!]. I've got 2 very handsome boys, a wonderful husband & a little hound dog. I'm a stay at home mom, looking to get healthy again. My dr's aren't concerned about my health, but I am. I was a size 11, 135lbs when I got pregnant with my oldest, & all the 90lbs gained from both pregnancies never went anywhere. Now that I am taking the right vitamin mix for me, & no longer [yes I think this was a culprit] on birth control I've been losing weight! So, here I am to kick the rest to the curb! I am currently 6lbs from my first goal, & I think I'll get there soon. I am more determined now than ever, & am hoping with this app & group I can do that.

    So hi all! I look forward to getting to know you. :)

    Hello all. I'm Jessy, 30 and live in Aroostook. I'm not new to the weight struggle, but something has finally snapped and I'm getting serious. I've found a love of weight training and am becoming more aware of what I eat. Still trying to find a cardio routine I can stick with, though. I've got 29lbs to lose to "ideal" weight, but I've recently switched my focus from getting "skinny" to being strong! Looking forward to getting to know everyone and to the mutual support.

    Hi! My name is Amber, I'm 25, and I very recently got married and moved to Newcastle, Maine -- 800 miles away from my hometown in West Virginia!

    I started losing weight in college and have basically been slowly, but steadily losing for the past few years. I'm up to almost 70 pounds gone now! I'd like to lose about 20 more, and stay there!

    Other than my husband and in-laws, I know exactly zero people here. I'm just looking for a community where I can talk to other people around here who work out, chat about similar interests (art, writing, books, design, anyone?), and basically potentially meet some friends who are actually nearby. Feel free to add me or talk to me or whatever!

    Hello, I am Blake! I am 34, & I've been with my amazing husband 15 years. I'm a mom of 2 teen boys & we have 3 dogs.

    I just recently joined Planet Fitness, & go 3-5 times a week. I prefer strength training, but have recently started the C25K training. I randomly on a whim wanted to start training for a 5K, & where I've NEVER been a runner, this is huge. Haha! So, here I am!

    I own a facebook support group for women on wellness journeys, it's called Rise Together Wellness (feel free to join). I find it's another avenue of motivation for me & I love it! I am a HUGE yoga lover as well, it's been my saving grace.

    Feel free to send me a friend request!
