Hi Everyone,

This is a fantastic website, what a brilliant idea. I'm new and starting to face the fact i need to lose alot of weight after a recent breakdown on holiday. I'm looking for friends on here to help me and support me and in return i will always try to help and support back.

I look forward to hearing from you all and if anyone has any advice then that would be great. Losing weight is so hard and it's nice to have people around that are going through it with you.

Thank you in advance and good luck to everyone losing weight xxxx

I came across this website by accident, but I guess it wasnt... a higher purpose because I was lost and confused, but though I only joined moments ago; I felt right here... you are going to love it here and I am sure that our goals are within reach, all we have to do is grab it and hold on tight. I went through dramatic changes in my life as well and let me tell you though it is hard the support is well worth the efforts. I think that its great to see a community of people who are so commited to eachother to help out in even our hardest days. Just come with us with your weary bones and we will give you rest. If you would like you can add me as well and I would love to be your friend.

Hi Jason,

Thanks very much for your words of wisdom. It sounds like you have had it quite tough too. Having a breakdown in the middle of a swimming pool in Tenerife was not nice, i refused to get out and was stuck in there for 2 hours. I vowed i would not do this again!!! I'm determined now to lose the weight and have already started the exercise and today i have started with the better food choices and diet.

Thanks very much for your support and i'd love to add you as a friend if i can work it out! ha ha! - I'm sure i will

Thanks

Been here for a month and it's awesome! I will say though.. that it only works if you work it the way you're supposed to! Cheat days don't exist in real life and be sure to budget EVERYTHING even if it's super tiny. You will do great!

my whole family has been heavy, and as i grew up as a gay male it was hard looking at all the guys and seeing them so fit and me having to be the husky kid wearing 34s in junior high- high school and then upgrading to 36s and at the peak a few years back at like 40.... I am down to 36 jeans but 34 in shorts.... I want to thin out a little but as they say about vegan dieters like myself you wont get "thin" but become lean... this is at least my goal... its hard to put a "target" when your so hard on yourself, but as I said we all have a purpose and why we were brought here... my reason is to change my life, if it changes my domestic partner's then so be it but i dont know i am 27 and seeing my life through my family and its a nightmare, but you know what I intend to wake up and see myself in my image

Just keep positive and i'll shoot you an invite..
