Trying to get in Shape

There's plenty of those here in the forums: either on the public threads (like these ones) or DMs.

The more you post, the easier it gets, I suppose but I'm no expert on the topic lol

Hope you find your buddies, either way!

How about participate in some Challenges over in that part of the Community forum? Direct link here:

Those can be a great way to (virtually) meet people who are on a similar course, or have similar interests.

Ditto for groups or challenges over in the Motivation area. Direct link:

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/categories/motivation-and-support

Seems to be the case that the more a person engages and participates here, the easier it is to connect with the people who can give you the support that's most helpful to you.

Wishing you great success!
