My dad is over 400 pounds. My step mom is heavier than that. My mother is about 220 pounds. I am sitting not-so-pretty at 190. I would like to lose 70 pounds, and put myself back where I was before I started having children.

I am a mother to 5 beautiful children, the youngest being 7 months old. I am looking for a friend, someone who isnt too busy to shoot me an email every couple days (obviously I would do the same), it doesnt have to be anything long, just a paragraph ya know? Someone I can reach out to when I want to binge on pasta.

I have PTSD, anxiety and MDD and I emotionally eat, and I am working on that, so I need to have someone who can remind me when I am down that pasta wont fix my problems.

I have a fitbit so I am down to challenge each other. I am basically looking for someone to lean on, and I will be the same for you!

    Hi Mindi, I've just started my fitness pal and I have 100 pounds to lose. Sorry I don't have a picture posted yet, but I'm working on it. Maybe we can lean on each other. My email address is clemon50@verizon.net. I know we can be successful.

    I've got over 100 pounds to lose to hit my ultimate goal. But am eyeballing 75 to start with.
    I've lost close to 100 pounds before and got stupid and gained it all back. I'm working toward losing it for good and keeping it off

    Hey, I'm down 143, I have about 11 more to go til I am at my goal. So I've been in it for the long haul for a while. I have serious depression issues, I very much eat my feelings, and have just kept pressing on and moving forward. I've been working at my weight loss for about 2 years now. push push push! YOU CAN DO THIS. If you fall off track (and you will, it happens!!) don't give up, just realign your thinking and keep going. Best of luck to you!!

    Hey! I have 80 pounds to lose! I have a sneaky suspicion that I have PCOS and will be going to the drs tomorrow for some testing. I could use all the support I can get! After a month of straight hard effort and clean eating, I gained 4 pounds. I could use all the support and friends I could get!! My email is katiesfitclub@gmail.com would love to connect with all of you!

    Hi all! I have 70 pounds to lose also and started jenny craig yesterday along with a fitness program..the same day my fiance took the last of his stuff out of our apartment.
    I decided I can cry or get myself back to looking and feeling good about myself! Could use the support of a few friends to help me keep my eye on the prize.
    Feel free to email me at lilsandyu@aol.com, and hopefully I can help encourage someone too
