in Motivation and Support
I have quite a bit of weight to lose. It would be nice to connect with others my age who are serious about a life change. Let's make 2021 better than 2020!

    Hi All , I'm Bronwyn in Australia 56 yrs young 😉 I have 9-10 kgs ( 20lbs ) to lose.Tone up and hopefully keep off ! I mainly walk as I do have joint problems but don't want that to stop me moving, here's to staying focused & motivated.
    I'd love to join you and stay accountable.

    I’m 43 and have lost 33 pounds and have about 16 to go. I’ve been on a plateau for a bit. The same three pounds up and down. I’d really love to get in the 140’s. I would love to have like minded friends to help keep me motivated.

    44 here with a good 70 lbs to lose. Going to be a rough year in doing it, but I'm going to get a good 50 of it off at least (I hope). Add me if interested in a fellow traveler on the path.

    I'm 27 and I have about 100lbs to lose. I've lost some of it but fell off the wagon a few months back because of some bad stuff that happened in my life and gained a lot back. Now I'm trying to pick up my life and start back up again slowly. This time I wanna get to the finish line. Please add me as a friend on here. Seeing your posts motives me and I love to help motive others too!
