New and Looking for Supportive friends

Hi There,
My Name is Shannon, I'm a 26 year old from Brampton, Ontario in Canada.... I have been big all my life have tried almost every diet out there, my doctor eventually referred me for gastric bypass...but I decided that wasn't the way to go that I wanted to do this on my own I wanted to get healthy. So I searched for all the information and started today using weight watchers and tracking my progress with my fitness pal. I'm scared because all I want is to be at a healthy weight but alot of the time it seems impossible that its going to take forever and once I lose it that it wont be good enough... My biggest reason for losing weight is because I have been trying to get pregnant for the past year and haft and nothing....It scares me that because I am so big that it causes alot of issues with me getting pregnant.. I pray that I can do this... I'm hoping through this site I can surround myself with positive and uplifting people that hopefully we can help each other on our journeys.. please go ahead and add me I look forward to getting to know everyone and starting this journey...my starting weight is 341lba

Hi Shannon! Welcome! You can do this!! We are all here to help each other, Ive found some really great people on here to help keep me motivated, and although i havent been at this very long (couple of months) I feel so much more positive since i started! Im gradually increasing my exercise every week, and learning how to control me eating! I'll add you as a friend, we can keep each other in line!

Also, im 27, from England, but moving to Toronto!

Hi Shannon,

I'm 26 from Sydney and even though I'm been a member of MFP for a while, I've only started using it a bit more seriously and started exercising more recently to help me lose weight and become healthier. I'm looking to lose around 20kgs and tone up. Hopefully we can both achieve our goals!

Best of luck!

Hey everybody! I'm Sara and I'm from the US (good 'ole sweet Georgia!) I'm 24, married, no kids yet, and I'm ready to lose this weight I've carried with me most of my life... I'm off to a good start, but I'm always looking for support! Invites are on the way! Anyone is free to add me, I'm on everyday (several times a day on my phone... lol)

I'll be your friend! It's always nice having people on here who can support and understand what you're going through. Weight loss isn't easy... but it's a great experience for those who work through the really tough days. My name is Carolyn. I'll go ahead and add you.
