Need to lose 100+ pounds??? Please add me :)

Hey there! My name is Amanda Lee and I am SO ready for a change :) I need to lose 100+ pounds and I am ready to dig in deep and FINALLY do it! I have wasted 24 and 1/2 years, I'm not willing to waste another day!

PLEASE feel free to add me!! I need and want as much support as possible. I love supporting and motivating others as well. I believe this site is an amazing resource and we can succeed if we pull together :)

I don't want a quick fix, I HATE the word diet and I refuse to live the rest of my life telling myself I can't eat pizza. I plan on doing this the natural way by controlling portion sizes, keeping a food journal and exercising. This is a complete lifestyle change for me.

My goal is to eventually lose a total of 135 pounds but I know I need to start with baby steps. Honestly the day I weigh in under 200 pounds I will be on cloud nine. I can't wait, but I'm also excited for the journey as well. I love the support and encouragement I get from the friends I've found on this site! Please don't be afraid to add me, talk to me or get to know me better.


A little bit about me:

The last time I was a healthy weight was in second grade. I started to gain weight in third/fourth grade after some traumatic experiences and have been overweight ever since.When I first started college I lost quite a bit of weight but I didn't even notice somehow. Everyone kept telling me I looked great but I didn't see it. Well NOW I do and I'm fighting to get back to that! Over the years I have been steadily gaining weight and it needs to stop NOW. I am ready to take control of my life and live it the way I should!! :)

Why I Want To Get In Shape:
I want to get in shape for so many reasons. I am tired of relying on food as my outlet. I am tired of not liking what I see when I look in the mirror. I am tired of feeling like a failure because I always slip back into my old ways. I want my family to be proud of me and most importantly I want to be HEALTHY. I want to be around for as long as possible and I would like to have a family one day. This is the first step to changing my life :)


Please feel free to add me! I would love to help you with your journey as well!! :D

    Just added you. I am trying to lose around 80 pounds. I don't know where my weight is atm, but I'm around 240.
    .
    If you need support, I just started a group and need to get people in it....it's a group for people over 200 pounds. It's called... "I'm Over 200 Pounds?!" ....if you want to join, that would be sweet!!

    Here's some stuff about me:
    ...The last time I was healthy was in 2nd grade. I started gaining really bad and hit 120 pounds by 4th grade....and I don't know...I don't remember losing weight since. I've been going up 'til this very day. I need to stop going up and yeah, I need to get under 200. That'd be AMAZING!
