Hello all, I'm new to 3 fat chicks on a diet, and I'm looking for diet buddies.
I recently joined a local gym here in Tokyo, and my weight loss approach is to take it slow and healthy, with a main focus on exercise (especially with weight training to build muscle mass).

I'd like to make friends from everywhere around the world, but if there are people from Tokyo/Japan, we can share tips on food and saying no to nomikai's (drinking parties) as well.

Uh I'm from Korea.. hi!

Hello Joyra! That's great progress that you've made so far! How long did it take you?

I've lost this weight since I moved to Korea in August. I'm a very slow loser! I'm in Korea just one year, so I'll leave August 31st. I'd love to kick my butt into high gear and lose 40 lbs in 6 months but I'd be happy to lose another 20.

Have you always lived in Japan?

I can relate to the picture on your avatar.
Good luck, and welcome!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!!!!!!!

Joyra,
That's pretty good progress for a little over half a year isn't it?! And I'm sure keeping it off is good hard work in itself.
I'm from Taiwan originally, and I live/work in Tokyo now. I've been here for 2 years now. Are you in Korea for work?

THank you all for the warm welcomes!! Loving it here so far!
