hello hello

New username but not new to my fitness pal.

I am starting over again. My first round on here I lost 75lbs, but a series of life events and disappointments caused me to well give up on this and gain back the weight I lost and then some.

Depression really has been kicking my butt. I don't drink or smoke so well food has been my drug of choice

My name is Felicia, most people call me Lulu, I am 397 and a pocket full of awesome

I'm looking for some friends, some encouragement. Id love to find people in my weight range so we can start off together or people who have lost a ton of weight

Some fun stuff

I am a avid crocheter, I like to use my hands to make things, very into Doctor Who and adventure time

I am a subsitute teacher and looking to work for my school districts office as well. I have a BA in history...

No kids, single like a Pringle


Any who hello!

    Welcome back! I'm fresh back (5 days ago) after several years off due to a long series of depression eating (I gained back 85 lbs :/ ). I have about 140 lbs to lose ;( It's a big journey but I believe we can both do it! I'm on the ketogenic diet so while we may or may not be on the same diet and fitness routine I'd still like to help support you! Sending you an invite :)

    @falulu209 Just a suggestion, but I would also look for friends here who have completed their weight loss goals. Their experiences could be invaluable.

    Hi! I'm a fellow Whovian and crocheter :) I'm nearing the end of my journey but I've lost 117lbs so far and I'm still working on losing a bit more. Add me if you like.

    You have done the hardest part. Starting. I realized years ago that losing weight wasn't easy for anyone, but there was always someone out there who made it look so easy. We're all working hard at making these life changes, and we all struggle. Your photo shows that you are a beautiful woman, even if you want to lose weight. I have never blogged here before, but we will all support you.

    Hey there :) I'm a whovian and a crafter too (polymer clay mainly), and have a similar amount to lose with a back-on-the-wagon start weight of about 360lb. I'd love to be friends with you (and anyone else on this thread who'd like to add me) and join you on your journey!

    I too have have the same amount to lose. I was down nearly 20lbs as of last months but then I heard the call of the sugar and carbs and lost my focus. We have to just get back on the horse. Feel free to add me
