edited October 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I am done living an unhealthy and equally unsatisfying life. I'm 21 now and sitting around breaking furniture no longer amuses me.
I have been ready for a change for a long time but never really knew where to start. A friend told me about the mobile app and I instantly started using it. Since then I've lost 12 pounds and have started eating healthier, and exercising, without starving myself. I have been alone in my efforts in the past and caved. This time I am including everyone in my journey to physical fitness. I am bettering myself but I am also helping my friends better themselves as well. I will not go it alone and I will not allow someone else who needs help remain helpless. Health is not a competition, it's a movement. I am so glad I found this community and plan on seeing this battle through to the end.

    welcome. it's a great place. I love the "If everyday was like today..." message that pop's up, definitely shows you the long term effects of your choices.

    Health is not a competition it is a movement. Wow. That is a great philosophy. I think I will put it up in my office. I do feel like I am part of a movement with all of the support from others on the journey and great examples of people who have experienced successfuland sustained weight loss. Best of luck.
