in Motivation and Support
Hi, just looking for some like-minded friends for support.

I started my journey at 307lb and the friends I have so far have been brilliant in supporting me to lose my first 14lb. I do look at them however and see lots of girls further along in their journey than me or with much less to lose, so I was hoping some girls or boys of a similar size might friend me and help me through the challenges that we larger women and men face.

In return I offer my support and advice where appropriate, and hope that we can make a difference to each other. I'd particularly love some people who exercise often, as it's hard being the biggest girl in the gym.

    Hi! Please add me as well. I just started dieting yesterday for the 1st time in my life, and I recently bought a treadmill so any help would be very much appreciated. I am 280 and would like to get down to 250lbs.

    Feel free to add me! I started off at 302lbs in May of last year. Was trying to get to the 100lbs mark by my one year anniversary ( I lost 60lbs the first 6 months but it's slowed down since then...which I expected,) but I am not too upset with myself that I won't meet that goal. This site is an awesome place for some awesome support! Best of luck!!

    I understand if you are looking for people who are closer to the beginning of their journey, but you can add me if you'd like. I started at 301 lbs. It's been 2 1/2 years, with various ups and downs, but I know what it's like to be where you are:) Good luck either way! You can do it :smile:

    I started out at 301 and I'm down to 277 right now. I have much more to lose, and I could use a few new friends as well! I don't go to the gym b/c I have an elliptical machine along with Zumba and pilates DVDs but I am a 27 year old stay at home mom so I only get time in my "gym." I wish you lots of luck!
