Welcome New Members!

Hello everyone I am a Newbie and very excited to be here. Well it took me forever to see where to type lol. Hope y’all are well

Hello, Simon from Wiltshire in UK. Trying to lose some Covid weight through diet, walking and paddle boarding

Hi everyone. I’m new on here. Been trying (unsuccessfully) to lose weight for years. Every time I drop, I just gain it back. I know it’s my own fault, but I have zero support at home. In May I was up to 260. So far I’m down to 245. I’m 44, married and have 4 children (2 are steps) ages 11, 20, 21, and 22. Please add me as a friend as I need all the support I can get! 😩😁

Hey! I'm a bit of a weight yo-yoer and am looking for some accountability buddies, I am struggling not to over eat with working from home, and lockdown boredom! I need some help to keep me accountable to track my food daily, and am happy to return the favour! I have about 10kg to loose, am 34yrs old, mostly vegan, live in Melbourne, and love trail running, roller skating, and F45!

I’m pretty new and could definitely do with a few buddies to make me more accountable! Lol 😂

Hey y’all!
I’m doing a cutting phase right now!
Add me!

Hi

Hey,

New to this, will see how it goes 😊

New account and only just realised this has a community after so many years.

I can’t wait to become the better me!!!

Hello newbie here. I'm 46. Joined today. I have some weight to loose but more importantly I need to get my blood pressure under control and get off BP medication. Way to many bad side affects. I feel like crap. No ones fault but my own. I know this. I'm ready. I'm finally at a place where I know I need to do this. I quit smoking a year ago. If I can quit that I can do anything. I have to. My quality of life depends on it. I am following a book called blood pressure solution. It gives advice on diet, exercise, stress reduction, eliminating toxins, and vitamins. It's a natural way to lower BP and shed some pounds in the process. I also follow the metabolic diet ways as well. I am not super strict with this. I basically use these as a guideline. Have to start somewhere. I am all about natural ways to improve my health and absolutely NO crash diets or fad diets. I refuse to eat stuff I don't like and I refuse to starve or deprive myself. Also I will not do crazy stuff like live off of vegetables only or protein shakes. NO NO NO. I won't exercise until I drop. There is a better way. I know it. It all comes down to what I put in my body. Eating nutritious foods and staying away from sugar and alcohol and all that. Easier said than done. I know. I'm going back to the basics. I have to keep moving. Please friend me if you are like minded in your journey. Would love some company with like minded individuals.

Hi Everyone! My name is Denise Maley from a Hampton, Virginia I’m 52 yrs old and a widow of almost 4yrs. My weight issues started when I got in my 40s I used to gain & lose then snap right back I woke up one day and my snapper was broke UGH ! Then the icing on the cake was the death of my husband I just quit my life changed unbelievably in a matter of minutes out of nowhere. But now I’m up & moving I’m tired and I will not allow this to me for the later years of my life I’ve gotten out of hand and it’s time regain my health again. So I look forward to chatting with you all and i hope that I’m so excited to be in a group of like minded people that way I’m around people who understand my struggle and can share their experiences with me and little tricks and secrets that helped them make it through. I can’t wait to make a whole bunch new friends here I look forward to talking to you soon take care !!!

Hello all,

I am absolutely new here. I have PCOS so it is a forced decision to actually become more health conscious in my life!

Hi all,

I've used the app a couple of times but only used it seriously once (back in 2013 when I lost ~20KG).

Quite a lot has happened since then. Had a little boy in 2014 and lots of other care responsibilities, and stresses. Had some mental health issues along the way (you could argue that I still do), sleep apnoea, high blood pressure, binge eating, lack of exercise. All the good stuff.

Due to some long term financial commitments, my wife and I decided I should get some life insurance. I've spent the last few days doing health questionnaires, and generally being turned down for life insurance. Pretty sobering and pretty miserable.

So here I am. Committing myself to:

- Losing weight
- Getting fit
- Reducing my blood pressure

I'm 46, 185cm (6ft 1in), 138.1 Kg (304 lbs). I peaked a few weeks ago at 140.1 Kg (309 lbs).

I'm here to have some accountability and maybe some encouragement.

Wishing the best of luck to everyone that is here.

Cheers
Steve
