Hello,

I've been hearing a lot about this site, so I finally decided to take the plunge and see what it's all about. I just joined tonight. So if anyone is looking for new friends. Please feel free to add me. I'm about half way into my weight loss journey and I seemed to have hit a plateau. So I'm feeling a little bit discouraged. But I knew this would eventually happen. This isn't my first time losing a lot of weight. Been there done that before. I'm down 43 lbs and have about 80 more to go. My problem is I don't have anyone to work out with. I thought this would be a great place to seek some encouragement and hopefully encourage someone else along the way.

    HI there... I would love to be your support buddy.. I as well have lost, gained, lost, gained weight my whole life....I think I now finally have the mind set to do something for me and for good this time...my kids are all old enough now that they don't need my constant care so I can actually start doing things for myself!! :)

    How do I add the fitness ticker to my posts? I'm new at this. I added it to my profile, but can't seem to get it to load to my posts. Thanks!

    Feel free to add. I post regularly. My goals are weight training oriented and getting bigger as opposed to weight loss, but we are all here for fitness in one sense or another.
