I'm 22 years old and I've been dreaming of being at a normal weight for more than half of my life. There was one point in time that I was at a normal weight, but that was in my really early teen years. I have been trying to lose weight off and on for the last two years at least and today I made the commitment to stick to it this time. I realized that one of my biggest downfalls was that I need the support of people who are close to my size and actively trying to lose weight as well. So, if you are 200+ pounds and track your exercise and intake often on here, please send me a friend's request. I'd love to watch you achieve your goals and become inspired by your efforts. It helps me keep going.

Why are you focused on weight? You should maybe think more about becoming more fit or healthier and the rest will follow. Too many gals focus on the scale but the scale is a poor indicator of health or fitness. One can be heavier and healthy while another is skinny fat and in poorer health.
Rethink your reason for losing weight. Is it just to look good or do you want to change your life in a real and meaningful way. If you simply get skinny, then what? But if you want to get healthier or fitter your life will change from without and within. You'll achieve longer lasting results too and probably be happier. By getting fitter you'll have a more toned and beautiful body and not be out of shape, able to do more and enjoy more. That in the long run will be more fun than just being skinny.
If I sound like a "mom", I'm sorry, but I am one. And I am trying to lose weight too. But I'm also a group fitness instructor so I do know a little about what I'm talking about. It's not easy but I'll tell you. I didn't start getting fit till I was 50. You have a great advantage in your youth, so do it now while it's easier and you get to enjoy the rewards a lot longer!
Good luck.0 -

Hi Jess. Its good to see that you're reaching out and not afraid to ask for assistance and help. I too have been over 200lbs for most of my adult life so I know the feeling.
You can add me as well. We the MFP family will help you.

Hi Jessica,
Not really new here either but going to give this a real try. I'm 36 and I'm a mom of two. I'm married and live in Ohio. I currently weigh in @ 254.2 and my weight just keeps going up so much it scares me. I've been married for 15 yrs now and when I married I weighed 140. I not real tall so my weight puts a lot of strain on my back. I am he caretaker of our kids my hubby is dis-abled and doesn't help much. I wish you well here. I sure could use support also. Let's hang in there together!0 -
Please add me. I am trying hard to get this weight loss going as well. Struggling with exercise, but am trying to log in daily. Could use the support myself. You can do this!!
