Looking For Buddies!

Hi!!! My Name is Shanna, i'm 26 from Arkansas. i've lost 50lbs since March i still have a long way to go, i have a few friends on MFP and very few friends in the real world who even know i'm trying to lose weight. i have a total of about 5 friends and my boyfriend. my family doesn't know other than my mom, i dont see them much even though i'm in the same town as them.. sad i know, they aren't the type of family that supports you, they are the type that talks about you behind your back. My breaking point was back in Feb. my cousin and i know we all have that "one" the "perfect" one i use to be an average size in high school not fat not skinny just slightly chubby but after 3 kids well my weight went out of control, but anyway my cousin out of meanness sent me a message on facebook asking if i wanted to go to the biggest loser tryouts and that she would "help" with my kids and such if it was something that i wanted to do. now like i said normally that would sound like a nice thing but you have to understand how my family works, this comes off as a truly mean and hateful thing from her. so anyway after that message i had hit my limit. i bought a treadmill and started seeing a doctor monthly to monitor my health which was fine anyway (for now) i just want it watched as i progress, tips and such from a professional. i have come so far in only 5 months and i will end up having to see my family by my youngest daughters birthday which is the beginning of November and i want their jaws to hit the floor. i am just looking for friends to help motivate, support, laugh and have a good time weather it be on here or if your close in arkansas that would be great too!!
