Hi all , I am based in Essex and joined yesterday . It would be nice to have some fitness buddies who are motivating and supporting if things don't go to plan . I have had a awful start to the year and I now need to tackle my weight and health . Any ideas or support will be gratefully received . I seem to have forgotten I have a gym membership have been 2 times in 6 months : (
It expires in July . I am a terrible binge eater and am very lazy . Horses are my passion and I ride as much as I can . I have read good things about the site , so I need to find my way about !!!
Thank you for reading , hope to get some buddies soon x

  • hi am also new to this site and am based in the uk,so feel free to add me.I am also a binge eater who has a gym membership which i used on and off.Finding a gym buddy is the best motivation for getting to the gym as its harder to back out if u r going with someone else.Hopefully having support from people doing the same things will help :smile:
