I have been finding every excuse in the book to not lose weight and now i am completely depressed.. I am over 200 lbs!!! OMG.. so now i have made a goal of losing 20-25 lbs by August 11 (my daughters 4th birthday) i need friends on here that are going to talk to me and help me out. I want friends, not just weight loss buddies.. i want to get to know each other and help each other.. weight loss isnt only about exercise and eating healthy.. our every day lives are a part of that also.. so please send me a friends request and a message!!!

    Depression leads to weight gain! Your first step is going to be to get happy! And having friends definitely helps with that :) I am not on very often at all (I log in for a few weeks a couple times a year) but I would be happy to friend you.

    Have you ever seen "fat, sick and nearly dead"? It's worth a watch. The guys in this film are MUCH heavier than you are, have severe health complications, and end up healthy and fit! It's incredibly inspirational. The point is, bigger people have lost weight! You can do it!

    Try to break down your goal to "I will lose 5lbs this month". Small and attainable with a short time limit. Sometimes a small goal is easier to achieve.
    I have been suffering from depression for a few years (seasonally) ans I know it's tough. One step at a time, this is a long journey.... You will get there!!

    Hi there! I log in every day, & like to motivate others. In fact, that's why I became a coach. A bit about myself... I have 2 kids ages 9 & 11. I've NEVER been athletic. Til last Fall when I started getting serious about getting healthy. Since then I've gone from a 14 to an 8. The sz isn't nearly as important as how I feel. I FINALLY cured my insomnia and I have more energy than ever. If u want to be friends, feel free to add me.

    Hi Amber, I completely understand my eldest is 4 now and the youngest is 18 months and people (everyday I go outside) ask me when I am due for the next baby! Yes I still look pregnant and I am a yoyo dieter and never consistant with anything actually. So here I am again, on another weight loss site to try again and this time really try to stay with it. Not only for my figure but actually for my health and following this will be mood, fitting into clothes nicely, being happy and having a happy husband. So Amber count me in to buddy with you so that we can do it together.
