100+ pounds to lose and looking for support buddies! :)

sare_bear90

Hi everyone!

I am 22 years old and want to lose 120 pounds. I would love support along the way! I work out with my sisters and a friend but it would be awesome to have some online buddies too! I have been logging in every day since I joined about a week ago. I am serious about getting in shape and improving my life!

Three years ago several things happened in my life and I started emotional eating. Before that I was in great shape and rowed on my high school crew team for 4 years. I haven't had a weight problem until these last three years, where I put on 120 pounds! I am at a positive, happy place in my life, and now I want to get back into shape for my own health and happiness.

3 months ago I started eating healthfully, and a few weeks ago I started getting serious about exercising. I am doing the c25k app everyday and I'm on week 5 day 2. I am also doing body weight strength training (it's a lot harder than it used to be!!) and I work out at my local Curves gym. Once I get stronger, I want to try weightlifting. It sounds intimidating but I have seen great results from the people on this site!

Feel free to add me! I can't wait to meet you guys and support you in your own journeys!

Hello,

I also have 100+ pounds to lose! And I understand where you're coming from with the emotional eating. I'm actually currently in therapy to manage it.

I'm gonna add you as a friend if that's okay! Best of luck

Hi, I am in a similar situation. I am little bit older, but not by much. I am 24 and trying to lose 90lbs. I joined this site because I do not have a lot of support with family and friends about losing the weight. I had my daughter 1 year ago and I want to finally lose all of this weight that I had before I got pregnant and the little bit of weight that I gained while pregnant with her. I am not only doing this for myself, but I am also doing this for my daughter so that I can show her the importance of healthy eating habits and healthy exercise habits. I hope that y'all wouldn't mind if I add you to my friends list. I know I need support to do this. I know it will not be easy, but I am determined to turn this around.

I'm 24 and I have 165 lbs to lose. I have no kids. I have PCOS and so I'm on a ketogenic diet. But my diary is open if you ever want to take a peak, and I've been going 30+ days strong!

Hey, good luck to you! I'm doing the c25k as well! I was right at 200 pounds when I started, down to about 174 now! Those first few pounds come off so quickly when you get your eating habits straight; it's a good motivator!

Weightlifting can definitely help! I had 100 to lose when I first started... Wasn't using MFP at the time but have been for about a month now. Best decision I've made in a long time. The people here are great and very helpful. I'd love to help you and others! I've made progress but still have a long way to go. Good luck to you and everyone else in this thread! ^^Wassup KK! haha
