Bristol weight loss buddy?

Hey all,

I'm just starting back on MFP after going off track for the last month or so. I've always been a big girl but a few years ago I managed to lose 10st through diet and exercise. I've since put that all back on due to a number of reasons and I'm trying my hardest to get the weight back down! I was diagnosed with diabetes 6 months ago and spent a lot of time researching the best diet for me. Low carb does wonders and I lost a couple of stone before falling off the wagon during a family holiday. I'm really in need of some extra motivation!

I'm quite a shy person because of my weight and I don't get out nearly enough. I often feel awkward around slimmer friends and would really like to meet someone in the same position for mutual support

I don't usually make a big thing out of my Birthdays but it's my 30th next year and I'd really like to use that as a goal for my weight loss.

Anyone out there?

Laura

    hi Missy - I will send a freind request - i need to lose about 30lbs to finally reach my goal. I was so close to it last year.. only needed to lose 5 more lbs.. then fell off the wagon during the holidays as well and gained 20 lbs back, Hopefully we can motivate each other and change for the long haul!
