    Here in Virginia and trying too! Add me...we can do it together. :)
  • Hello there, I'm the same age, with some of the same issues, I'm finally moving in the right direction, you can add me, I think we'd be great support for each other..
  • "I've been just existing" really hit home. A big part of this isn't only about your weight-it's about your state of mind and quality of life! Think of all the things you probably don't do anymore. I just re-joined the website! If you need support, feel free to add me :)

    Hi! I am also newly- coming back, just been back on here about 10 days now.. I have a ways to go too, but we can do this together! Sending you a friend request!
  • add me too. I'll give what support I can. I've had so many people jump up with their hands in the air offering to be my friend that I'm overwhelmed with it really. I hope you find the same welcome and support I've found here so far. :)
