in Introduce Yourself
Hey all! I'm Megan, most call me Meg though. I'm 23 and 5' tall and have just about 100 lbs to lose! I have been a member on this site for just over a year. Last March I started a weight loss journey that didn't go so well, obviously. And I mostly feel like I just didn't have the support that I needed. My husband (soon to be ex-husband) was always putting me down and mainly making me feel like I wasn't "worthy" of being healthy, with an added bonus of being hotter lol. Then there's my mother, I love her to death but I secretly feel she likes me overweight. And I say that because without fail anytime I restart my program she brings gobs of junk to my home :/. I don't think I ever had the willpower to say no. Until Friday, I was able to voice my concerns with her, that tells me I'm serious.

So with that said, I'd love to hear from anyone that thinks they'd be supportive to me on my journey.

    Hey Megan :). My name is Emily and I would be more then willing to be your friend. We actually have about the same goal and have been on here about the same time. You are worth so much more then what your ex ever told you and I hope that you are able to show him but most importantly yourself how important you are. :) bump

    Hi Megan! Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm happy to see that you have made the decision and gotten serious about making healthy lifestyle changes. The reward will be well worth the effort. If there is anything I can do just let me know. Take Care.

    Hey Megan, I am Susan. Although I am 43, a bit older than you, we do have the same goals. I too have 100+ pounds to lose. I used to have an ex who did the same thing, and a mother that was not loving at all. My current hubby needs to lose weight also, but he has not reached that 'this is enough' point.

    I would love to help you reach your goals, give you the needed encouragement and support. I'll send a friend request right away.

    Hi Meg!

    My name is Hope. It's difficult when the ones closest to us are not supportive. I have similar issues. Just remember, everything you need to succeed is already inside of you!

    Have a wonderful journey!

    Hi Megan, I know how I feels to have a not so supportive mother. It's really hard and because of her I have struggled with my weight all my life.
