edited September 24 in Motivation and Support
So I decided to go ahead and write this, even though it MAY make me sound desperate but to be honest if we are all on this site then we all may be just a little desperate, right? ( I am not a pro at this so bare with me). I am looking for a support group. Just some "friends" on here. People who are there for ideas, support or just to listen to venting....lol!! Anyone intersted, friend me!! I would love to feel like I am not the only person going through this crazy life style change. I have a great family but not the support or understanding that is needed for this!!!


THANKS YALL!!!!! =)

    You don't sound desperate. We're all in the same boat. Sending friend request now.

    I am in TOPS and they have an online program now. I don't know a lot about how it works, but if you got to www.tops.org you can learn more. I wish you all the best! ~Colleen

    Friends request just sent...you will find lots of friendly people on here and we are all here for the same purpose....the amount we each need to lose may be different, but we all have the same thing in mind. Feel free to contact me anytime. I am on here several times during the day and night. Best wishes in your weight loss journey.

    I know how you feel. It seems like your all alone on this journey to a healthier lifestyle. I could really use a friend on here too. I've asked several people like my husband and a few friends and no one wants to try to loss any weight or just try to live healthier. I think starting a support group is a great idea.

    Friend request sent your way! I think its hard for our family and friends to give the type of support we need as they are looking out for our feelings. I get 'but you dont need to lose weight you look awesome'... lovely but not true according to my latest measurements at the gym! Be great to chat with others who understand the ups and downs of the journey!

    My biggest struggle is trying to get a "schedule". With kids, work, school, sports and family time its tough.

    I feel like I am in the same boat, just like everyone else. It should be big enough for everyone, just no tippers! It's the unwritten rule in canoeing!

    I am going to add most of you as friends as well, because I would like to start getting to know people a bit more, and everyone is super friendly from what I can see.

    I'm wondering if we should make a Newbie Thread or something that we can continue throughout our journey? Then we can be like some of the others that have at least 2 threads continuing with over 1000 posts =)

    Let's DO it!

    (ps - please friend me =^,^=)

    So true! My husband, always told me I was sexy, no matter how heavy I got. Very sweet, but eventually I had to face the facts- I gained 65 lbs during our 10 years together. That is not sexy!

    I am looking forward to feeling more energetic, and not being afraid to chuck on my bikini and strut down the beach!
