in Introduce Yourself
This is literally day one for me. I NEED to lose over 100lbs. It just kind of sucks because I don't really know anyone who can understand my situation. So, it would be great if I could find friends I can turn to who kind of knows what I am feeling-the good, the bad and the ugly. No matter how big or small your goal is, EVERYONE is welcome :) We all need a little push once in a while.

    Welcome to the first step. When I started here I swore no one understood my situation (I'm 30, short, and have 100 lbs to lose). I quickly came to find out that no one is alone here. We can all relate to eachother in one way or another...and I guarantee you will find someone with your same struggles and with the same type of weight loss goals. Welcome to the community...we don't bite...unless you want us to. ;o)

    Good for you for making that first step, and for realizing what you need and asking for it! Give yourself a huge pat on the back.

    The process of losing weight is not easy, but not just a physical hurdle. There is so much emotional and mental baggage that has to be tackled too. I lost weight in 2012 and was ecstatic that I actually did it. Then hit a rut and gained it all back. It's only been in the last week that I've been able to start myself back on the right track exercising again and making slow changes to end my emotional overeating. You're more than welcome to add me - I could use the support too!

    Congrats to your first step, acceptance and confession! lol You're doing to do just great. Perhaps hooking up with some new physically fit friends and aspirers would do you plenty of justice. That's what initially helped me lose 20lbs (friends alone)! I wish you that best and if you have any questions, feel free to add me as a friend. :-)

    Lots of people here to encourage you - it's difficult but I heard a saying that has helped me in other areas of my life and it definitely applies here: We overestimate what we can get done in a day, but underestimate what we can do in a lifetime... Meaning, don't be discouraged by the day to day... just keep plugging along and soon you'll find you're well along the road to completing your goal! :smile:
