Hi guys!
It's my first post on a support group - I've found the courage to do it because I've decided to move on with my life and to stop feeling sorry for myself. I've been overweight for a long time and I'm tired of the way people look at me... My goal is to lose 100 lbs.
I’m tracking my diet on an app called Foodvisor and it has helped me lose 15 pounds so far. I really recommend it if you want to lose weight. You have to take a picture of your food and it gives you nutrition facts! Logging down everything I eat was difficult at the beginning but then it becomes a habit and it’s not as hard. It helps me make better food choices, it makes me more aware of what I eat and sometimes it prevents me from binge eating because I know I'll feel bad when looking at my picture on the app.
I’m looking for weight loss buddies :) I think it will be easier if we do it together and support each other! If you download the app Foodvisor lmk so we can compare our meals ;) You can find the app here: http://apple.co/2p0U8Y2 WE CAN DO THIS!!
I am just like you, trying to lose 100lbs and tracking everything i eat, so i can relate.
Losing 15 pounds is a big deal, so congrats !
I'm looking for weight loss buddies as well. We are in the same mindset. I'm ready to do this.
I hope your weight loss is going well. I am on a journey to lose weight as well and seeking a weight loss buddy. At present, I do not use an app but I have lost some weight so far. All the best on your journey and I would love to be the support and also get support as I take this journey.
An opportunity has come up to take part in some research looking at health and lifestyle attitudes and intentions. The research is being carried out by researchers at the Department of Behavioural Science & Health at University College London. For this study, you need to be female and aged 18 years or older. You can access the questionnaire using the link below. The questions will relate to your diet, physical activity and general health attitudes. It should take between 20-30 minutes to complete.
Please follow the link if you are happy to complete the questionnaire: https://opinio.ucl.ac.uk/s?s=48848
