My name is Kristin. I started my weight loss journey on Feb 7th @ 330 lbs. I am now at 309 lbs. I have been doing it on my own and I would like to have a support system, because right not it just seems like the people around me are waiting for me to give up, like have have done so many times before. I am excited about my weight loss, and I am here to help anyone that needs it, and I hope I can make some new friends.

    welcome - you can add me if you want- the one time I lost 60 pounds - I did not tell anyone I was trying to loose weight - I always feel like they are watching and waiting also.
    but that was 18 yrs ago and I put the weight back on - was doing weight watchers then-
    now i just want to learn how to eat to loose and maintain a healthy weight.
    I have lost 51 pounds since Sept. - I have 39 more to go. to reach my goal weight
    this is a great site and it will help

    Hello Kristin, I know how that goes when people seem to be waiting for you to fail. Just keep pushing forward & like you I to would like to have some buddy support so add me to your friends list if you would like to. I enjoy getting to know new people & understand that everyone has a reason or something that pushes them to move forward to make a change or differnce in their lives. Best of luck on your journey look forward to maybe making goals as a team. Have a great day!
