I'm new to this site and looking for new friends

Options
Hey everyone! I am brand new to this site but I am loving the sense of community and friendship. Out of all of my friends I am the largest so it's hard to express how I'm feeling when it comes to my weight. Regardless, all of my girlfriends are extremely supportive but they will never truly understand where I am coming from because they have never struggled with weight themselves. I am looking for new friends who can share their experiences with me and me with them. I am 6 ft tall and just under 260 pounds. This will be my first attempt at losing weight the good old fashioned way so any advice or recommendations are appreciated!

    Welcome! I think that you will find lots of supportive people here that have plenty of tips and advice for you. I am also the "largest" person in my friends group. It is really tough to change your own habits when others around you don't have to!

    Feel free to friend me!
