Hi, all! I'm 22 and am in need of some awesome, supportive friends to help me along with my weight loss. I have Type 1 Diabetes, so losing weight has always been a challenge for me. My plan is to lose about 15 pounds, which may seem small to some of you, but it's very difficult with insulin pumping into my stomach every day, which essentially just puts fat on me in a matter of seconds! Every day I look at myself in the mirror and get pretty upset at my love handles, or my "tire" as I like to call it. I love love love the support I have seen as I have been browsing this website and am looking for some of that amazing, uplifting spirit to help me along in my journey, and to make a friend and fellow encourager, in return! Whether you are looking to lose 2, or 200 lbs, I want to be there to help you, the same way you'll be there to help me! I'm even up for sharing cell phones numbers to send encouraging texts through out the week to each other for motivation. I look forward to getting to know you all!! :smile:

    Hey, I'm pretty new here myself. I'll add you and we can help encourage each other... :-) I know it's not fun looking in the mirror and being unhappy with what you see, but we're all in the same boat, and we can do this!

    I've been on here a month and don't really have "friends" on here. This site has been very helpful in my journey so far. Feel free to add me if you need some extra encouragement, as there are days I need it myself!
