Hello,

I am at the end of the rope health wise. Obesity is affecting everything in my life. I must lose 220 pounds but I lack friends and support. I've been in my house only leaving for work or when necessary. Please add me, I could really use some friends

    I'm down 15 pounds over the last 3 months with well over 100 more to go, Just remember its a process and takes determination to push away that extra food at mealtime. Welcome aboard and channel that anger you probably feel into motivation.

    hey gal. :) i did low carb last year and lost 80lbs in 4months. i got lazy with it but only gained about 10lbs when i stopped the diet because it made me realize how important portion control was. i picked it back up about 3 weeks ago and am down 20 as of this morning. you can do it!

    Hi. I would be happy to be your friend. I have about 100 to lose. I only focus on 25lbs at a time. I think for myself and maybe you would like to try. I journalize and do my food diary everyday. I also think of one good thing I have in my life right at this time. This morning I could get into my new boots. They fit at the store when I bought them when someone else was putting them on for me. Guess what she didn't come with the boots. It's taken me a month to wear them. The next step is to actually take them off and put them back on when I go to someone's house to visit. Maybe a small step for anyone else, but guess what I don't set myself up to fail.

    Please feel free to add me, I think its great to have friends that have a longer goal and know how aggravating it can get.

    I'm just starting up again, slowly, and have about 100 lbs to lose. I haven't set my final goal yet. Trying to get into the swing of things again here on MFP. Feel free to add me :)
