i'm not new here at all. but i dont have any friends on here. i try to discuss things with my hubby. but he is naturally slim and toned no matter what he eats or regardless if he works out. so its hard for him to understand my side. just trying to get a few motivating ppl on my side who know what i'm trying to achieve. and how hard it is to get there.

    My boyfriend is naturally thin and in excellent shape. I try and talk to him about the struggles with weight loss and he just doesn't understand it. Doesn't mean he doesn't care -- he just doesn't understand what it's like to struggle to keep weight off. He can eat anything he wants and his weight stays the same. If I glance at something - it goes straight to my hips. ;0)

    I don't have any friends besides my sis...sent you a friend request.

    Men, their fabulous metabolisms--it will catch up with them in their 50's! At least that's what I tell myself.

    Hey, I am new to site and I am looking for motivation as well. I know what you mean because my husband is the same way. I am usually rather shy and stay off of facebook etc 'cause I never know what to say and I get tired of watching everyone else live such social lives. Anyway, I've been on every diet out there and I know that some days seem almost hopeless. There are so many more factors involved than will power alone! Hang in there, know you are already beautiful-right here, right now, and remember that your achievements are in the journey, not the destination.

    Feel free to add me. I'm always looking for new friends. My boyfriend is naturally skinny so he doesn't know what it's like to want to lose weight.
