in Introduce Yourself
Hello!

Just wanted to say hi and find some friends who would be willing to help and support me on my journey and I will do the same back too!

I am 23 and am looking to lose about 20kgs which I think is about 45lbs. I know it wont happen overnight, so far I've lost about 8kgs and hit a bit of a plateau, haven't lost any weight for about 3 weeks now :(

I have had weight issues most of my life and really find it hard to talk to my friends and family about it, I just feel very uncomfortable and some people make comments which I find difficult to take. Even when they're being supportive I struggle to accept their comments....

Basically hoping that being able to talk to people going through the whole journey of losing weight will help me get back on track and keep going.

Thanks

:)

    HI Chipmunkee!

    My name is Alex, I am 21, and I am from Indiana, United States. I'm new too and I also get those less than welcome comments from family that are hard to take face to face. I am more than happy to extend a hand and walk with you on this journey of loss and hopefully future gain as well! :bigsmile:

    Hey there I am Nadia I can totally relate in what you are going through I think we all can. I use to weigh 350lbs and now I am at 180lbs and still pushing. My weight has always been an issue for me. You constantly need that support and motivation to keep you going. If I can do it I know you can if you need an extra buddy feel free to add me :)

    Hi-Please add me. The more friends, the better! Thank you for converting kg to lb. I have been on here since June. What has impacted me most is logging what I eat... Logging what I eat really makes me think twice when my sweet tooth wants to take over!! I am really amazed that the food database has had every food item in it that I have eaten so far!
