Hi everybody,

I'm a mom of 3 and have been overweight my whole life. I am trying to lose the weight once and for all. I'm looking for friends that also need to lose about the same as me (75). I hope we can support each other!

    you can add me if you want.

    I have a group called "Lose 100 by 2014"... it's just a support group for people with a lot to lose. It isn't a challenge or anything. there are a lot of nice people there who have been helpful! if you can't find it, I'll invite you.

    My goal is to lose a total of 70 lbs, I started 10 weeks ago and have lost 20 lbs so far. I am doing this on my own because none of my friends have commited to lose weight yet so I would love to have some support from people who are trying to do the same thing I am.

    I need to lose over 50 lbs, and I have two kids. They are the reason I am trying (again) to lose some of the weight. That and my work clothes don't fit (boo!) and I can't afford a new wardrobe in a bigger size ... nor do I want to!! (A wardrobe in a smaller size, maybe!)

    I am starting with a program called feel great in 8, and I hope to be 10 lbs lighter in 8 weeks.

    Have a great day, and I will add you as a friend if you don't mind :).

    I am trying to lose 72 more lbs. I have dropped 28 so that'll be 100 all together. I would love some more friends I think building a support group is important in this journey. XD
