in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys, another newbie here and looking for some friends! I hit my highest weight about 1 1/2 ago 256....I'm only 5'2"! I was a athlete growing up....softball, track and cheerleader! But somehow I allowed myself gain SO much weight! It sucks being the fat one of the family, when everyone else is a size 5! So I'm here to finally make a change! Right now I'm down to 231 and determind to get down to 200 by the new year.....and hopefully 180 by my 30th Bday in March! So anyone looking for a new friend add me please cause this girl is determind and would love some extra support!

    Me too! I feel your pains. I used to be about 200lbs and I am 5'1"
    It's been a bout a decade of losses and gains and periods of laziness and activity but I'm at 132 atm.
    Lots of people forget that I used to be much larger and even more people have no idea, so it is awkward when people talk to me about weight loss, but I really do know some things.

    Your goal sounds reasonable and doable. When in March is your b-day? Mine is St. Patrick's day. I love beer too so a lot of my "struggle" is there. If I didn't have to work out for any other reason, it would be so that I can drink beer.

    Ran into a friend today that has lost a trememdous amount of weight since I last saw her. She told me about this site and I just signed up. I need the support of friends who feel the same way I do...so tired of being tired...so tired of not being about to walk up a flight of stairs without being winded...so tired of not wanting to face the mirror because I don't like who I see looking back. So tired of carrying around all these extra lbs. I haven't weighed in a while but I know I'm close to 220 and only 5'4" tall. I would love to lose 20 lbs by the first of the year...hopeful.

    Hi I'm Gloria, 5'1". I'm also looking for friends, I found out the hard way that I can't do this alone. I lost a bunch of weight and now in a couple weeks time gained back 3 lbs. I still have a ways to go till I reach my goal weight but I'm determined to get there!!
