Hey everyone! My name is Nicky and I'm 23. I'm looking for a pal who is in the same boat that I am in. My highest weight was 350 pounds in Jan 2012. I started losing weight and got down to about 309 in October but gained the weight again up until last week. I was back at 332. I want to find a friend who has about the same weight loss goals that I do (I would like to lose 200 pounds). I want someone who can understand this journey and how hard it's going to be. I don't have any friends or anything on here so I'm ready for some!!!

    Hi there,

    While my struggles with weight loss may not be the same as yours I'm happy to help motivate you along your journey :smile:

    Thanks again! I appreciate that even though we may not have the same weight loss goals that everyone is still really supportive :) for some reason I thought that it was going to be difficult finding people to become friends with and to help keep me motivated :)

    You are welcome to add me (anyone can). I am on here a few times each day and try to comment on all my pals. I am in the same boat as you and started here with 162 pounds to lose. I have lost 74 so far thanks to this site and the great support on here. I will send you a request :) Good luck!!

    Hi! I would love to add you! I am in a similar boat with you. After a stressful job and poor eating habits, I am at my all time heaviest. I used to be a college athlete and want to get back to being active and healthy. I need all of the motivation that I can get and I hope that I would be able to help others get motivated as well.
