Looking for weight loss friends

[WrongPlanet]

I'm a working (desk job) mother in need of motivating fitbit friends.  I just got my fitbit charge hr on Saturday and earned my Marathon badge today!!  I'm in need of more friends that want to do group challenges and stay motivated.  I've got 79 lbs to lose and I'm ready for it to go!

Hi there!  I am 46 and need to lose 50 pounds.  I've had my Charge HR for 3 weeks.  Some days I get all my steps in, but most I don't.  My job requires sitting on my rear end at a computer all day and some days I just don't have the energy to get more.  I need motivation too!  I seem to have lost mine...somewhere...somehow...

Hi :).  My name is Jill.  I am a college student majoring in Chemistry with a Minor in Forensic Science so I, too, am required to sit a lot.  I need to lose about 60 pounds.  I would love to add more friends as well.

By the way, it isn't easy working, taking care of the kids, and trying to lose weight at the same time so, good for you working at it!
