in Introduce Yourself
HI! I am looking for losers to be part of my Loser Friends group! I am on a mission to lose at least 50 pounds by April as I am getting married in May. To help with motivation, I want as many losers on board with me as possible! We are all losers - in weight that is -- and need encouragement and help along the way.

I have been heavy my whole life... so the word "thin" and my name have never been used in the same sentence. But I am on a mission to change that! I have always been active, was a speed skater, loved the gym, played soft ball... yada yada... but life happenes and suddenly we are out of shape and hating life. So.. I have a new lease on life, a new man who thinks I am beautiful now... lol...just wait.... and a good life. I want to enjoy everything, do everything, and live long enough to bug the crap out of my kids and grand kids, and great grand kids!!!

My doctor says Bariatric Surgery... I say... I can do this on my own. My doctor says heart issues at 50... I say BS I am not there yet!

    You can do it!! I think it's admirable that you are going to get the weight off through diet/exercise vs. surgery. Way to go!! You can add me as a friend!

    Yes I can and thanks for the encouragement. WE all can do it if we truly put our minds to it. It's not easy and it has taken conscious thougth to actually get my mind wrapped around the whole thing including excersise.....but slowly we get there by taking one step at a time.

    It's not about perfection... its all about progress.... steady small steps carry us to the goal successfully!

    Hello! I would like to join your group. I am on a mission to lose 40-45 pounds. I lost it twice and hoping that this time I will figure out sustained weight loss not yo yo loss. I am a mom of 10 year old twins. I just moved from Sacramento, CA to beautiful Clovis, CA. I would love to be my goal weight by Birthday. I have lost 17 so far. I have been stuck for almost 2 weeks. Now I am amping up my work outs. Hopefully I will break through the 17 mark this week.

    I am on a mission to re-lose the last 20, to maintain my nearly 100 lb loss & to achieve a high fitness level. I would be proud to join this loser group! If you are positive and supportive, feel free to add me - I don't have the time to listen to whining or excuses!
