My name is Kevin and I joined today. Hoping to find support from other who understand how hard the journey can be. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and hating what I see. I want to get back to the weight I was in college, when I lost weight for the first time. I'm from Columbus, Ohio and I was hoping to meet others who are geographically close, but I'll take any support I can get. Look forward to talking to you .

to the site, Kevin!

There's some good support to be found here! Personally I like 'decade' threads (threads you post in as you move through a certain weight 'decade' like the 150s), daily accountability threads, and challenges.

Browse and see what you like. Glad to have you here!

Welcome, I'm pretty far away geographically but congrats on getting started!

Hey Kevin
Wherever you go on this website, you'll find people that have been in your shoes during their life & understand. Along with ppl that have been successful in reaching their goals & give helpful support & tips to maintain your goal

Here is a good thread that supports daily walking & if you have a Fitbit Charge, I know that you are enjoying the awesome dashboard features teaching about getting a healthier lifestyle, weighing less while getting stronger.

Good luck on your new healthier body during 2016

Hi Kevin
My name is Lizzie and I'm based in England but i too am looking for some support. I have always been overweight and unhappy about my appearance so i completely empathise. But its the end of one year and the start of a new one and that means determination is high (at least for the next few days lol).

You have my full support
How are looking to lose weight? Simple diet and exercise or following a plan?

Im going to try diet and exercise- mainly calorie counting (calculated this help for online diet pages) and jogging and swimming as i know i enjoy them but can never motivate myself to do it lol

Sorry if iv waffled on there... Good luck and keep me updated please

Lizzie

Welcome!
