edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Just wanted to introduce myself in hopes of finding a few friends for encouragement. My name is Amber. I'm 27 from central Ohio and I have 170 pounds to lose. I'm a stay at home mom of 2 (5yrs & 3yrs old). I've been wanting to lose weight for as long as I can remember but I could never stick to it. Last year I walked a 5k for charity and lost 15 pounds during the summer but have gained it back. I think having like minded friends would really make a difference this time. I can't seem to do it alone!

    Welcome! You are so true, in stating that surrounding yourself with people, who share the same goal, is very encouraging and helpful. You can definitely add me as a friend.

    Amber you can do this! You didn't gain it overnight so it may take a while to lose it, but you can do it! I have a lot to lose also, at least another 80-100 pounds. Add me as a friend if you want.

    Good Luck Amber. You can add me as a friend if you like. I think I am a good motivator... Or at least that's what my friends and co-workers say.
