in Introduce Yourself
So i'm starting my weight loss tomorrow, very nervous about it!
I'm female, 20, 6ft1 and weigh 210lbs, i am a dress size 16-18 and want to get down to a 12-14!
Would be great to have some people to talk to on here to get motivation and tips, so feel free to add me.
Lets do this!

    Sounds like you already have the plan!!! You can do it, just start by making better choices in what you eat. BTW it kinda help me being around people that are doing and making the same changes.....

    I'm tall as well (6 ft). Seems like we need to lose more in order to have it show. ;o) I'll send you a friend request ~ Elaine

    Yes!!! ohh girl I got my sis in law and bro to do this about 20 days ago and the changes have been unblvble. My bro was about 295 lbs and he has always been an impulsive eater, after he downloaded this app & with our support now he weights 265lbs! Am so proud of them.

    Please remember is easier to put them on than loosing them. Have lots of Support & Patience. Any plans on how you are going to start working out?

    US! So I guess that's more like 6-8 in UK. It's amazing being able to wear all sorts of clothes that I never could before (I'm been overweight most of my life). Shopping is a lot more fun now :)
