Need Support

I'm a 25 (26 next month) year old woman with a long road ahead in terms of weight loss - at least 100 pounds need to go, preferably before my wedding in January 2015.

I've lost 125 pounds before so I KNOW I can do this, but I'm equally certain that I can't do it alone - especially with a deadline (wedding date) this time around. The back-slide started when my last support system dissolved. Having supportive friends is absolutely essential to success for me so I'm looking for people with similar goals who will be available to encourage each other along the way.

If anyone could recommend what groups they've found helpful, that would be fantastic, too.

Best wishes to all!

Emily -

    congratulations on your pending nuptials.

    Support is great and you will find lots of it here, but you gots to figure out how you can rely on yourself in the end. We can cheer you on as you head towards your goals, offer suggestions, commiserate with you when you have rough patches. But in the end, its on you my friend.

    There are some groups that are 100+ to lose, also you might challenge groups motivating.

    Good luck.
  • Hi Emily. Would love to buddy up with you. I have about 60 pounds to lose and I am new to this site. You can totally meet your 100 pound goal by your wedding date!

    Hi Emily!

    I'm a 30 y/o woman with 82 lbs. left to lose (already knocked 18 lbs. out of the way!) My deadline is far more tentative than yours - I'd like to unveil my new bod to folks at an annual party we have on Cinco de Mayo, though I'll just be thrilled if I'm near my goal at that point. I'd love to have us help and support each other through this journey! Please feel free to add me :)
