Looking for 2-3 people for a "support system" who need to lose 100+ lbs

Hi! My name is Samantha. I am 28 and weight 295 lbs. My ideal weight (per my doctor) is around 155. I need to lose 140 lbs! That is almost HALF of my body weight.

I am looking to form a specific online "support group" through MFP. People who need to lose 100+ lbs who will post updates and replies frequently. I find that being held accountable by others is the best way to accomplish one's goals. I also think that by meeting people who are similar to myself, we can work together to accomplish our goals and become friends in the process.

If interested, hit me up!

    Thank you _incogNEATo_. Right now, I'm looking for just a couple people to be friends with so it's more personal rather than just reading through large forums. I appreciate your help though! Deborah, I added you as a friend! After I get a few people, I'll create a private group for all of us.

    Treece, do you think you'd like to be a part of a small, more personal group?

    This sounds like where I belong. At 5'10" I am currently about 300 pounds and am looking to get below 200. A small group seems like it would offer more accountability than larger ones I have joined.
