in Introduce Yourself
I think I may have seen a post about this recently, but I am looking for any girls that are over 200 to be friends with!
A little about myself, I'm a mom to two beautiful kids - a girl who is almost 4 and a 2 year old boy.
I have been overweight my whole life, and I am going to really, really, really do it this time! I already feel like I am doing awesome and I'm finally in the right mind set for weight loss. Last time I weighed myself I was around 280 (few months ago), I have no idea how much I weigh now. I have been eating healthy and exercising for about 3 weeks now and going strong.
I need friends, so add me!! :D

    I suppose you don't have to be over 200 pounds to be my friend! lol, just realized how that sounded. I really just want some people to motivate me and who I can also provide motivation!!

    I'm a mom of a 2 year old. I started off at 271.2lbs at the beginning of June, as of Monday I weighed 225.8lbs (total of 45.4lbs lost & 20.25 inches!) I still have a long way to go but I'm working on getting there. =)

    I'm always looking for motivational friends! =)

    When I started in January, I was over 200- 225 to be specific. But I'm down to 158 now. I would love to be your friend :smile:

    You can add me--when I started, I think I was 285 at my heaviest. My mini goal is to get to 200, and ultimately 180 pounds. I'm 6' tall. I'm at 235 pounds right now.

    I'd love to add you. At my biggest I was 261 pounds. I lost 113 pounds of that right before I got married and then I had 2 children, the youngest being 6 months old. I am currently sitting at 207 pounds and am aiming to get back down to my wedding weight. I've set my goal ticker to show my first goal to reach 180 pounds.

    I was 278lbs at my turning point, I got down to 203..then back to 230, and all around that number. It is amazing how it takes a week to lose 0.5 lbs but in a day i can gain 5lbs! just not fair! But if it was that easy to lose everyone would do it!

    I am also looking for friends on here for motivation and support, i never want to see 230 again! My ultimate goal is 155lbs, but my current mini goal is 219 [4lbs to go!] then 199! and down from there.

    I am also a mother of 3 grown boys [25, 19, 17, and a one year old grandson]

    i would love to have friends on this site .I'm just getting started so don't know to much about how to add anyone. a little about me i am 5'2" 251 pounds, Have been trying so hard to lose weight for many years with no sucess. Am finding it very hard to do myself. so please feel free to add me anybody. I have been to weight watchers, recently was herbal magic (down 40 pounds) but found very expensive and lots of pill popping. I want to succeed so bad, so am really looking to meet people who, like myself want to get there but am just needing some extra support:smile: .

    I started at 324 lbs. Two weeks later (last saturday) I was at 312. Can't wait till this Saturday! I also lost 16 inches over my body during that same time.

    My daughter is 23 and also overweight. I have been this heavy for just over 10 years due to a combination of quitting smoking and a new medication. I got tired of complaining and decided to do something about it.

    Anyone who wants to can add me to their support network.

    I have tried to lose weight...it didn't work out or last for too long. I am finding that I really need that extra motivation and support. Almost like a challenge, not that I want to win or lose more than someone else, I want to do this for me. But the help of others in the same situation is motivating. Add me as a friend if you would like! I am serious about weight loss this time. I graduate in May with my Bachelor degree and there will be nothing quite as good as looking and feeling so much better walking across that stage! Again, add me if you would like!
