I'm 22, and I've been battling my weight all my life. I'm so ashamed of being this heavy that I've never really reached out for support, but I am now. I'm currently 278 lbs, and have an ultimate goal weight of 130 lbs. I'm completely new here, and would love to make friends with anyone who can give/need support on a weight loss journey :)

    Hi! I've been at this since the first of the year, but don't have many people on here in my "friends" yet. I'll be glad to add you. I'd ultimately like to lose 40-45 lbs. So far, I'm down 9 :) Good luck to you!

    I've just started too and could use the support too. I've sent you a "friend" request. Good luck!

    I can relate. I didn't start battling weight until I started having some health problems in college, but started MFP in January and would love to support and be supported too! I will add you as a friend!

    It is overwhelming to get this much support in a matter of minute when I've gone 22 years without practically any! Thank you so much for adding me and sharing your stories :)

    I could use all the support I can get as well. I am 26, and weigh 172. I am not sure I will reach 130 but I would be happy with 145. I'd like to shed some fat and tone up!
