28 with LOTS to lose - looking for support.

in Introduce Yourself
Hello

I'm 28 and I have over 100lbs to lose. I tend to get off track if I don't have support and for some deep seeded psychological reason I don't want to tell my friends what I'm attempting. Therefore, I'm reaching out to the MFP community. Be my friend, be someone I occasionally hate for telling me the hard truth. Lets get this done together! WOO! (I'm not a "woo" kind of person usually, but sometimes it's required for motivation). I'm lazy when it comes to cooking and easily bored when it comes to exercise so be ready for that.

It's a very large boat with many in it and I'd like someone to talk to while we sail.

    Feel free to add me. I'm also 28, with not much left to lose, really focusing more on body composition than anything else. Happy to provide support (and hard words, if needed :) ).

    Have you tried keto? Changed my life and a great way to jumpstart weight loss when you've got tons to lose.

    43 and beginning my weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey... it's going to be a long and sometimes bumpy ride so some inspiration and motivation along the way would be helpful :)
    Good luck

    I'm 28 as well - I lost 100 pounds already and have about 30-40 I want to lose now. Feel free to add me.

    I hate telling people when I'm trying to lose weight. You don't need to hear anyone's opinions! haha

    Hi! I'm 34 with 75-100 to lose. Been on and off the weight loss track so many times I can't count. This time around I would like support, and like you CailM, I don't have anyone in my life right now that I feel like sharing this journey with. So please, anyone add me who like little encouragement and wouldn't mind sending me some too. :happy:

    Once you start seeing the weight coming off you will be more and more motivated to eating better and training. Key is consistency.

    Feel free to add me - I have about 30+ pounds to lose, but every pound is hard, whether it's 5 pounds, 30 pounds, 50 pounds, or 150 pounds (or more!) I had to take a brief break recently due to family health issues, but am back. I log every day, try to give positive support, and have an open diary (but don't care if others do - it's not for everyone!) I'm 38 with two daughters and welcome any friend requests from people who are positive, motivated, and consistent!

    Hi! I'm 28 as well... at my heaviest I had 100+ pounds to lose (268 was my highest). I lost about 40 pounds a couple years ago (2010 perhaps?), then gained a few back. I started again last month at 242, and am working my way down (now at 229.6). With my first weight loss, many people knew, but I've found myself more hesitant to tell others about my diet/weight loss this time around. My fiance is very supportive, as is my immediate family, but I haven't told many others for some reason. Support is definitely key... I'm not very active on these message boards with my own posts, but even just reading other people's stories and experiences is helpful for me. :-) Good luck!!

    All of my life I have struggled with my weight. I don't really have anyone in my life that understands what I am trying to do here. I want to get healthy and start living my life the way I want to, not the way my body allows me to. All of my friends are thin and think all of the time and effort I put into the gym and eating right is just keeping me from living my life. I would welcome and friend requests that may actually help keep my focused and remind me that I am doing this for a reason and that I am not alone.
