in Introduce Yourself
Let's motivate each other into completing our goals! I'm specifically looking for friends that want to lose a lot of weight like me or have lost a lot of weight because I'll feel more comfortable and motivated around people in similar situations. Nothing is worse in real life than saying to a friend that's model thin that you're working on losing weight only for them to tell you that they're fat and they need to lose weight too. :(

My goal weight is 180 lbs ... for now. I weigh 250 right now. :noway: My wake up call came when I no longer fit into my size 16 pants after wearing dresses for a few months. I had to buy a pair of size 18 jeans and I couldn't believe I'd let it get this far. It's been a long time coming and I'm just tired of constantly being tired and not being healthy. So yeah. I'm working my way back to a healthier weight. Who knows, maybe I'll even surpass my goals and be comfortable wearing a bikini some day. :laugh:

    I, too, have a lot of weight to lose. I went to several weddings this summer and was shocked by the pictures. Made me cringe. I would love be a supportive friend:smile:

    My story is similar to yours and others on this thread. I have about 60 lb to lose and shaping up to do. I want to not only look better in clothes but have more energy. I would blame the illness I contracted for the initial weight gain, but it's been five years and time for me to lose that story and write a new one. It would be great to connect with you and others facing this challenge.

    Hey all! I'm also trying to lose at least 50 pounds. I could definitely use the motivation! Please feel free to add me. For the most part, I'm good about what I eat, but you'll see that I have days where I eat like crap. I feel like crap ALWAYS the next day, so I'm trying to get out of that habit! Hopefully having friends on here will help!!

    My goal is 50 pounds. I had lost a lot of weight about three years ago because I went to Basic Training for the Army National Guard but over the past couple years it has all crept back on. I want to get back to where I was. Im a size 14 right now but my goal is to be a size 10. Please add me! I would LOVE to not be doing this alone. Im on Day 2 and I know this is going to be very long road.
