Hi all, I am Claudia a 34 year old with four kids trying to lose a bunch of weight! I am looking for some friends to form a support network. I feel like i am the only one in my family hat has a weight problem and no one seems to understand just how difficult it can be to lose weight. But here I am ready to do it, so far I have lost 25lbs in three months but I need to lose 43.6 by the end of October for health reasons. Any who, anyone interested in joining up and doing this together let me know!

    Hi Claudia! My name is Nicci and I am also 34 years old and a mother of 2. I just joined as well and would be happy to be support buddies. It's hard and I know that I can't do it all by myself. My husband and friends are great but I feel that I am the only one struggling with weight problems.

    Hi Claudia! I'm Mara and I'm 33 with 2 children and like you and Nicci am the only one that really struggles with my weight in my family. I'd be happy to be support friends too! I joined after losing 10 lbs and am down an additional 12.

    Hey! It sounds like you're doing great so far. Congrats. You should be super proud of yourself :) I made a post earlier today looking for some support as well and I'm hoping to meet people that can help motivate and challenge me. I totally understand your eagerness and your struggle to lose weight. I'd be more than happy to help any way I can! Anyone also looking for support or motivation or just friendly conversation, feel free to add me :)

    I sent a request. Would love to be a member of the support network. I know how hard it can be to stay on track sometimes. Helps when there are people around. :)
