Wow! This sounds like a singles add lol!!!

I’m Jen... I have lost and gained weight several times doing fad diets. I am here now to go slow and steady eating regular foods, no gimmicks, no cutting out a type of food, just a long term, attainable balanced food lifestyle. It will take me a long time (at least 14 months... probably 2 years) which is why I am looking for people to join me on this journey to help me stay consistent and kick my butt or offer encouragement when I need it along the way! Looking forward to making some new friends!

    Hi
    I 'm 44 and need to lose weight for better health and so I can keep up when cycling in UK Breeze group rides. I have embarrassingly had to leave rides mid way through, because I was so unfit. I have a lot to lose! (But trying not to focus on how much, instead focus on short term goals like not eating crap when triggered or emotions are pushed) From UK. Looking to add friends but can't seem to get my head around this app on mobile.
    Please add me if you can.
    Thanks for reading

    Hello. I am 40 and have 100Ibs to lose! I have literally done almost every diet and always gain weight back. I'm so tired of fad diets and want to change my lifestyle and make it more manageable.
    I would also love some support and accountability to stay the course very long term!

    Hi, I'm Wanda. I'm 54, and am crippled with severe RA. I've been on a high dose of steroid for the past 4 years which has led to a weight gain of 150 Lbs. If it doesn't come off, I'm gonna die, so I've been doing this for the past 2 weeks, so far so good. I log in every day and have been under allotted calories every day - I already notice a difference, but this is such a long road! - Out on the road that lies before me now, there are some turns where I may spin, I only hope that you can hold me now, till I can gain control again.
