Hi, my name is Samantha. I have battled weight most of my adult life and tracking my calories has been very eye opening for me. I don't have alot of overweight friends so finding motivation from other people like me is hard in my "real life" so I am looking for people that I can get to know and become friends with as we go along this journey together. I have started "dieting" and exercising and then fallen of the wagon so many times I have lost count, but as I become older, I know it is so important for me to do this once and do it right for my health so I can live a long and happy life. If you would like to become weight loss buddies, please send me a friend request, my user name is mexicanbigfoot. I have over 150 pounds to lose and I am confident that having others to keep me on track and vise versa will make this trip easier, and hopefully more fun for all involved!

Hi Samantha, I'm Joyce. I would love to be there to help in motivating you. I have actually gotten in a rut lately and lost my focus. I have 20-25 pounds I would like to lose and those just do not seem to want to come off :grumble: I know I have got to up my game being that I am 43 years old and my body does not react like it did when I was in my 20's LOL... but am sending you a friend request and if anyone else comes in and would like to friend request me, please feel free to do so. I have just cleaned out my friends list on here because I had friends who never encouraged me and if I am going to look at your mug on my computer, then you need to encourage me at least once a week. LOL...especially when I am making sure to go in and give encouragement to all my friends.0
