After a lifetime of struggling to control my weight I am 50lbs overweight again. So, here I am setting it right again and I am looking for buddies to have fun and stay positive during the journey!

    Hi I'm in the same boat too. I have tried everything and have been successful but then gained more than I have lost. So I'm hoping to find inspiration here and hope this is the last time I struggle with weight loss as I intend to take it slowly and not look for quick fixes. Good luck!

    Yup, I'm focused on doing what I know works for me and not getting discouraged.
