Weight loss
I’m a 32yo male and this is the first time in my life that I am putting serious effort into shedding weight. A few years ago, I was 180lbs with a BMI of 24, but over the past few years I’ve let myself go and peaked at 242lbs (BMI 33). My goal is to lose roughly 60lbs and get back to my healthy BMI by the end of this…

Under 300lbs for the first time in about 4 years!
As with a lot of people, I suffered quite hard under the lockdowns. My company was constantly on the verge of going under as it was reliant on tourism and I was working 10-11 hour days sat at my desk, rarely getting up and ordering takeaways 6 nights a week from being so tired. As a result, I ballooned up to 352.1lbs by…

Starting a new challenge - Couch to Marathon
In 2013, I lost my wife aged just 21 to Ovarian Cancer. She was a professional footballer, and we were both in great shape. That year I ran the Great Manchester Run - 10k without any specific training. Fast forward 9 years, and life has hit me in the midriff. Working to provide for our 2 children meant things like…

Old but New
I've been on this app before many years ago, before I would just do this on my own but obviously would not stay motivated enough to achieve the goal that I wanted.

I follow a vegan lifestyle and would like to eat more holistically within that realm, instead of focused on low carb, but I…
