Decided to give the app another try..

I would love to have a fitness buddy or buddies. People to talk to, vent, help and just share our struggles and success. I have gone back and forth with this journey far too many times and i am simply tired of failing. I just wish i had a better support system and someone who can truly understand the damn struggle of being over weight. So if you need anyone to talk to, reach out. Need a support system? let's build it. Below is my current information. I'm ashamed of how much i let myself go but, I'll be damn if i let it win over my life.

316 lbs
Female
28
Southern California

    I lost about 130lbs 10 years ago... then in the past 7 years I gained back about 100 of those. I get the feeling of being ashamed. Don't give up though because you have the power to take control. I am on my way back to where I was so if you ever want to *kitten* about the struggles, feel free to message me!

    Stick with MFP! In my honest opinion, there is no better support system out there :]
    You can do this.

    Glad someone else out here feels like I do. I am forever starting over and over. I am determined to stick to it. In 2009 I lost 70 lbs and I have gained 100 since then. I can't freaking believe that. I have to start somewhere but who knew I could be heavier than I was 9 months pregnant. Why did I do this to myself.

    I lost 77 pounds in about 2 years and within a year I've put back on 35 of it. So I'm starting again (and again and again)... Every failure is a step towards success. Let's journey together.

    Hi! I'm back again too! I need support buddies too! It's been so long since I've been on MFP I have to learn how to navigate thru it all over again.

    I am back as well after taking off 5 years ago. There is always a reason why I go back to bad habits.
    Found mine and thought about it. Excuse or not, feeling so much better now being back. Add me if you like?

    You're not alone, none of us are. But, that question will always linger even after we succeed, because, we will. We have to. Welcome back greatest of luck. Im here if you need anything (:

    Haha sorry that again and again reminded me of myself so much. But, how great is it that we fall and rise again and again right? You haven't truly failed if you continue on the path. Definitely. Let's do it. I think you added me not sure i have been accepting and sadly cannot read the messages I'll check if not I'll be adding you (:

    I love to see how i am not alone. I'm also in the learning process of this app. It's been glitchy and doesn't notify i have responses so i have just been checking sporadically.
