    Committed Friends/Support System Needed!

    edited February 27 in Goal: Maintaining Weight
    Hey y'all, I am in need of a few new COMMITTED friends. I recently went through and realized that more than half of my MFP friends have gone inactive, and so I am in need of a stronger support system.

    Background:
    I've been a "member" of this site since 2010, when I was using it to track my intake for medical reasons. I truly committed to this site in the summer of 2013, but ended up needing to go inactive due to life circumstances. Now I am back with a vengence! :D

    Currently, I am 24 years old, about 5'11", and weigh 280lbs. I have never known what it's like not to be overweight, but this is by far my highest weight. I take full responsibility for being so obese: this is my responsibility and my choices led me to this point, no matter what life has or has not handed me. Despite being overweight, at one time I actually had a good level of fitness and strength, and at the least I would like to get back to it.

    I am in a bit of an "inbetween" stage in my life: new job (same highly stressful field though), new house, new side of the state. Support from this online community would be appreciated now more than ever!

    Thank you in advance :)

      Feel free to add me to your list as well- I try to keep on top of it every week, if not every day.

      I find keeping track help me challenge myself more often, especially when it comes to working out.
