in Introduce Yourself
Hello. My name is Amanda, and I am new to this site. I originally signed up last year, but I never made an entry until recently. I am needing some motivating and encouraging friends to continue on my weight loss journey.

I am wanting to lose 80-100 pounds. I am 5'0, and weight 218 pounds. My biggest was 223 pounds. I want to lose the weight so I can feel better about myself and not feel so depressed. I am embarrassed to leave my house because I feel like people are making fun of me. I started gaining the weight when I met my SO. We have been dating almost 4 years now. I keep getting told that I put on weight because "I am happy and comfortable", but I want to lose the weight to feel better about myself. I just don't understand how I let myself get so out of shape. :(

If anyone is interested in motivating me during my weight loss journey, please feel free to send me a friend request/message!

    Hi my name is Angelia, I signed up last year and loved the results I got. I was amazed when I stopped I was able to pretty much maintain my weight because of the knowledge I gained. I love being able to plan ahead for what I wanted to eat and still loose weight. I eat anything I want by watching my portions and trading calories throughout the day, I made wiser decisions when I knew I wanted that Entree from the Olive Garden or that steak from the Outback. Because of this program I see real rewards and I am never hungry. Remember to eat all your meals. Stay away from prepackaged food if you can, Eat fruits and vegetables and all those delicious raw foods. Remember to reward yourself. Last night I went to the movie and had a small popcorn,a small coke and the small bag of raisinettes, it was delicious(I skipped the extra melted butter on my popcorn though) . You can loose the weight. Remember don't starve yourself, just stay within your limits and stay off of that sofa. Get up go for a walk or play the Wii or something. I love to turn on the music and shake my worries away, Goodluck Angelia

    I sent a friend request. I just joined almost a month ago and need that extra encouragement as well. I spend hours sometimes just reading post that people write on the forum. This is the first time I ever posted myself and just started sending request for friends about ten minutes ago. I think it will help keep me focused and maybe not get so discouraged. Good luck to us in our journey....

    Feel free to add me and you'd be my first friend. My goal is to lose around 45 lbs and I started using this sight about two months ago. I need the extra encouragement of a group and it will help to keep each other accountable!

    Hi! I am 5'4 235 and desperately wanting to get this extra weight gone! I'm not looking for a bikini body, just want to be healthy and happy. I have been using this app for 3 weeks now and that is the longest I have ever stuck with anything. I've also lost 3lbs o far and I couldn't be more excited! I am seeking some new friends to make this journey with me. One can never have enough support and motivation. Please feel free to add me!
