Hello there. I am a mom of 4 boys. Joined this site as refered by a family member. Would really like friends who can help encourage me to keep going past 2 weeks. I am trying to limit my portions and clean eat. I have about 50-60lbs that I would really love to lose by the end of the year! But my ultimate goal right now is to lose 25-30lbs by May 2013!! Good Luck in everyones journey!! & God Bless

    Looking for friends as well; feel free to add me. I have about 85 lbs to lose and need friends who are encouraging and able to help push me when I want to throw my hands up and give in.

    :happy: I am a newbie as well. I was also referred by a family member. She is doing terrific and has lost so much weight. She is looking so good. She has been using it for about a year. I have 30 lbs that I would like to loose by June. So good luck to you as well. You can do it. I have a picture of Rosie the Riveter and it says you can do it. It is always there to help me remember. Find her or something that will give you a reminder. I prefer something that is fun or humorous. This gives me a pick me up everytime I see it instead of just the drudgery of being reminded to be good all the time.

    Hello my name is LaDonna. I'm a 39 yr. old female. I weigh 350 plus pounds and am looking for anyone that can help me with daily support and motivation for the long road ahead of me. I would also like to hear from others that are 300 plus pounds. Text, email, or just using the site are options. I have pretty much been obese my whole life, and I am well overdue for change. I have enrolled in a gym already and seriously considering a personal trainer. Hope to hear from you soon. Feel free to add me :wink:

    Technically a newbie here myself. I started this last year but didn't keep track of it. I'm a mother of one very rambunctious 15 month old boy and I would love to be able to keep up with him. Fell free to add me if you like. I need as much encouragement as I can get. I've struggled with my weight my entire life and I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired. I gained 80 pounds during my pregnancy and I never lost it. Now I have no energy for anything. I work a full time M-F(sometime S) job and by the time I get home every afternoon, it's time to get dinner cooked and clean and get ready for the next day.
