NEED FIENDS for support!!

Hi everyone! My name is Amy. I am from the UK and am a 290 Ib 19 year old - I know right? Something has to change!

I have been doing MFP since the beggining of Jan and am seeing some results but here is the problem... everyone I know is either skinny or not interesteed in dieting!!

I'm finding it quite hard to stay motivated when I don't have many contacts of people that are also doing it! It would be amazing if I could make some new MFP friends to feel less lonely in my quest to find a healthy lifestyle!

I am making weekly YouTube videos in an attempt to log my progress and acknowledge what I am doing, I have found it has made it harder to hide if I have to share it with the world, but I feel I'd like to make some friends who I can learn from and chit chat with!

Thank you so much! Amy xx

PS, If curiosity gets the better of anyone here is the link to my most recent MFP video... its a long one and a little depressing but there are some happier ones too!!

    I am only moderately supportive, but I am very fiendish.

    I'm not in the UK, but I will be more than happy to be some support! I have some serious weight to lose, so I won't be going anywhere any time soon!

    Not sure if being considered a fiend is a good thing or bad thing
