I thought it would be helpful to our group if we added this thread to introduce ourselves and share anything that we would like.

I’m scott, I live in Tampa and I’m bisexual
My goal is to get down to between 160-170 which should be pretty lean for me. I am always open to friend requests. I would like this group to provide a safe place to share and support each other and have fun with it.

    Hi! I'm Emily, live in Ohio, queer.
    I came just shy of reaching my goal weight a few years ago but with Covid and my love of eating, I'm almost back to where I started and trying again.
    I'm on here most every day and I love seeing everyone's accomplishments and cheering for them!! I can just be kinda shy when it comes to reaching out (sorry! *hands over eyes*).

    Hi, all! I'm Ray - bi/poly/pan/treelover/readerofbooks/fat/uhh/hmm/wordswordswords

    Good afternoon! Sigh. I've been doing this for a while, it feels like. I was doing well, then something happened in my family that threw everything into spin-mode, and now three years later I'm doing everything I can, but nothing seems to be working. I'm considering, at this point, weight-loss-surgery. After doing a veritable *kitten*-ton of research, it seems incredibly hard to go through, but it also does something to your metabolism that I feel like is what I need?

    Anyway, who knows what's going to happen, right? In the meantime I'm working my *kitten* off while away from home for work and I didn't come here to write a book but I've been away from home for like 2 weeks and it gets lonely and people!

    Hi! Feel free to add me! I could use new friends. How do you even make friends as an adult? Get together while you're out paying bills?

    Hey everyone 👋🏼

    I’m 28, 6’1, currently 75% to my first weight lost goal (losing 80lbs). I’ve lived in Texas for over a year (RGV area), have a wonderful fiancé, and I’m a lesbian. I’m optimistic, bubbly, and always been told it’s easy to tell me anything. I’ve always wanted to be healthier, and what really pushed me towards it faster was when I got hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism, which is a blood clot in your lung. It can vary but luckily mine is really small. So with having a PE I have to slowly build my endurance and have been keeping a single-portion , low/sugar free low sodium, and no trans fat diet.

    If anyone wants to add me I’m always down making friends, and buddies I can motivate/support through this weight loss journey.

    Hi, I'm Shannon. I'm lesbian, and I'm considered morbidly obese for my age group(30s). I'm looking to make friends, and also for support on my journey in losing weight. Also, might I add, I'm a furry.

    I'm glad there's a group on here that I can feel safe and be myself, and not feel so awkward and out of place.

    Hi everyone, I'm Laurence and mostly active on the Dutch forums.
    Now and then here in this lovely group for the English forums. Feel free to add me.

    I want to become more fit and get more muscle. Now I do boxing, running (5km or 10km once a month) and a bit of strength mixed with a few cardio exercises every week. But I should probably do more strength training... Just can't be bothered to go myself, so I join classes at the gym.

    Hello, I'm Dory, like the fish. I'm 31 transmasc/andro/gender fluid. I live in the PNW with my wife (who's also trans) and our two kids who are 12 and 7. We also have two cats that have FeLV and a leopard gecko.

    I like weight lifting, swimming, going for walks. I mostly try to stick to a modified Paleo/keto diet, and incorporate primal living into my life as much as possible. Add me!

    Welcome zenith!! I totally agree with the support. Just know, once you start tracking your calories and macros you'll be so surprised at how fast it accumulates. I was in shocked 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

    so I’m back here to start over again!
    HI Jeff, I'm also starting over. My downfall is evening snacking. I'm looking for mutual motivation to stay on track.
