I need more friends to help, need to lose 100 pounds!

Id really like some more friends who have either lost or are in the process of losing around 100 pounds. It can be more or less i just need people that can relate to my struggle. I am 34 and have a family history of obesity. My mother had a botched gastric bypass almost killing her several times. I WONT go down that road. I need to lose this weight now!! I'm in my second year of nursing school and want to be an example of fitness.

    I have a family history of obesity too. I've lost 50 pounds and am nearly at my goal weight. Now I realize that while genetics may play a small role, the truth is:

    I WAS EATING TOO MUCH FOOD.

    Some of this was learned behavior, some of it is my strange relationship with food, but most of it was my attitude of saying "screw it" when someone offered me dessert... or a beer... or another slice of pizza. Part of my journey has been taking responsibility and vowing that I will never allow those 50 pounds to return.

    I applaud your attitude of not wanting surgery, being an example and wanting support. I'm sending a friend request... if you're ready to do this I will gladly help. I've never felt more in control of my weight than I do right now.
