Hi! I'm Laura. 29 almost 30(ugh). Mom to 3 boys. Live in Canada. A few tattoos. Looking for new friends and a support system that will hold me accountable for what I eat! Need to lose a ton of weight!

    Welcome. You have come to the right place. I joined here and a private support group on Facebook a couple years ago and was able to lose over 80 lbs and keep it off thanks to all the support I got.

    Wow!! That's awesome!! Congratulations!
    I've got high hopes for myself, but NO support at home so I definitely need it here to keep me accountable and going

    Thank you. I'm sorry to hear that you don't have support at home. That certainly makes it tough but also can drive you to achieve your goals. If you need any help at all I'm always happy to help if I can.

    Lack of support system definitely sucks, it's v really difficult being the only person that's trying to lose weight in a house full of people who aren't. Know how it feels.

    What are your goals? The key is to start slow and listen to your body. What have you been doing so far?

    It SO is!! It's definitely been one of the biggest factors in me not being successful in the past. But, I'm ready to focus on myself and getting healthy! Definitely will be leaning on the support systems here :)
