Hi!
I'm a 23 years old and in college.
I've been overweight my entire life. Right now I'm the heaviest I've ever been.
I've tried on different occasions to lose weight, but I never succeeded.
Last december I finally got a motivation to start losing weight.
My best friend (who was overweight too) passed away because of a pulmonary embolism.
And I realised, I really don't want to die because of my weight.
So, now, that I'm doing better (after eating a lot because of the grieving), I'm going for it!
I hope to meet friends, and find other inspritation!

Sorry to hear about your friend. Many times a sucky life event results in a blessing. For me it was diabetes to scare me straight. I have a wife and three wonderful boys that I want to grow old watching.
Good luck in your journey and keep the faith!!! You can do it.0
