I need friends and support!

Hi I'm Tina. I stopped using this app in April, which was a bad idea, I started gaining some more weight. I started up again 4 days ago and I am back now and I'm serious this time to lose the weight. I need to change. I'm ready to change. I'll be logging in everyday. All I ask is for some help. I could use some friendly support. Thank you :)

    Hello Tina, I am Nikoah, I just started back also. I would love to support you, and have your support in this journey. I am committed to eating a balanced, healthy diet that I can continue to eat for the rest of my life. One goal I have set for myself is high fiber and low simple carbs. I have also set a goal of doing some exercise everyday and hard core exercise 5 days a week. If you are interested in these things also please feel free to add me as your friend.

  • Hi all! I'm Amanda and I've been using this app on and off for a while and I'm having a hard time staying motivated so I thought it would be nice to make some friends in the same boat as me so we can help each other stay dedicated. I'd be super happy to be on your support team! Same goes for everyone. (:

    hi. Tina I just started yesterday and my biggest thing is I can stay on anything for a long period of time I definitely lack motivation, so I am there for you and maybe someone can help me in the process.
  • :smile: I am just getting started myself. Maybe we can help each other. I hear there is power in numbers!!

    Hi everyone

    My name is Marilynn. I' ve been on this site since April of this year. I''ve been going to classes to learn about having the bariatric surgery and that's how I heard about this website and I've been going on here ever since. It's a really great website. I really love it. I've been able to keep track of what I eat and the aount of calories I eat. I do have a problem with exercising though. My problem is basically I'm just too lazy to do it. I've been dealing with a lot of medical problems which is one of the reasons I've gained as much weight as I have. I'm hoping that once I do hav e the surgery things will be a lot better. I've also been dealing with depression but that really hasn't caused me to eat more. Than God for that. Anyway any support I can get from everyone will be greatly appreciated.
