Long journey ahead! Need your support please?

Hi there

Im almost 30, female from the UK. I am not new to dieting, in fact I have a shameful track record of yo-yo dieting and drastic weight shifting. I have been overweight to some extent since the age of 7.

I am 6 foot 1 and almost 300 pounds. I am so ashamed of this weight, especially since I lost 140 pounds several years ago. Unfortunately I didn't do it the healthy way and basically starved myself so the weight piled back on and I binged. I need to make this about a healthy future rather than to look a certain way.

Looking for supportive friends, in particular those who have over 100lbs to lose or started out with that much to lose. Tall women or men too! Shorter friends more than welcome too. Any ages or nationalities, just need to call me out on my bull *kitten*, motivate me and ideally have a sense of humour (and not be easily offened by my bad language).

Any takers? :-)
