Needing a buddy to help me stay motivated and on the right path

Options
So, i'm new here and would like to meet some people who are in the same boat as me. I'm 30 yrs old and weigh 328 pounds at 5'6. I'm going to be doing calorie counting/working out and could absolutely use some ideas/thoughts. I'd be happy to share any advice and encouragement that others might need. Feel free to send me a message/friend request and i'll accept it :smile:

    Hi, feel free to add me too! I've been doing this off and on by myself for a while and it would be nice to have other people who are focused on the same goals. I'm 37, 5' 2", 209 lbs... I've always been overweight so to take this seriously I need an occasional nudge as well.

    Hi, I could use some encouragement too! I am 45, 5'10" and currently weigh 283. I started a year & a half ago at 317. I've had a few major life things the last 6 or 8 months that have me stalled and blah.

    I'm 39, weigh in at 253 because over the Holidays I ate like a fool and haven't worked out in forever. Starting back on the right road today. I was 266 about 6 or 7 months ago and got down to 241. Once I figure out how to add you, I will! I could use a boost of support here and there myself.
