in Introduce Yourself
I'm 22 years old and I've been dreaming of being at a normal weight for more than half of my life. There was one point in time that I was at a normal weight, but that was in my really early teen years. I have been trying to lose weight off and on for the last two years at least and today I made the commitment to stick to it this time. I realized that one of my biggest downfalls was that I need the support of people who are close to my size and actively trying to lose weight as well. So, if you are 200+ pounds and track your exercise and intake often on here, please send me a friend's request. I'd love to watch you achieve your goals and become inspired by your efforts. It helps me keep going. <3

-Jessica.

    I can relate to your story it's hard to continue to work out without some kind of support. I live in LA away from my family in England and St. Martinique. Feel free to add me that way we can support each other.
