Hi, my name is Anna. I'm 20, and I need to lose about 100 lbs. I'm hoping to find some friends on this site to help me stay on track. Feel free to add me.

    Hi Anna. I'm Keisha. I'm 31 y/o. In 2009, a doctor told me if I kept gaining weigh at the rate that I was, I wasn't going to c my 11 y/o graduate high school. I said, at 350 lbs. and very depressed, that I couldn't and wouldn't lose weight. I SLOWLY changed some of my eating habits and saw a LITTLE weight come off. later in 2009, i was finally dx with bipolar and put on the correct meds. these meds made me less depressed in turn stayed in bed less. i became more active and more weight come off. In 2011, I got really serious. i completely changed!!! I started exercising, eating better, and being more involved in my families lives. i realize u may not have ur own family yet. but i'm sure u have parents,grandparents, uncles, cousins, sisters, r even friends u consider family. anyway i have already lost 130 + lbs, so it is possible. (i have not taken any pills, starved myself, induced vomiting, r taken un-needed laxatives) i didn't gain 200 lbs over nite and i'm not gonna lose them over nite. b patient. i will ttyl (with so tips i've learned). P.S. i still have 50 lbs left to lose so i'm still here wit ya.
