Looking for motivation buddies

Hi,

I joined yesterday. I am hoping to lose about 50lbs. I normally try to do it alone, surrounded by slim friends and family, it's often difficult to talk. So hoping to find some people who are trying to lose weight too. I have always been a bit overweight, but since getting married I've really piled on the pounds and feel like I am in a strangers body. I would love to find some motivational friends to chat to, exchange tips, celebrate success, and help each other out when it gets difficult. Add me if you are interested. Leanne :)

    Hey! Going to add you guys too :) I'm trying to take off 30-35 lbs and would love some buddies who are going through the same thing! i've always been a bit chubby, but i'm currently the heaviest i've ever been. Starting is always easy for me, but after a few weeks i start to slide... No sliding this time! I hope.

    I've been overweight my whole life. And I understand what you mean about a strangers body. I lost a lot of weight and felt great, then gained it all back over the past few years. I'm at it again, this time for good! Anyone is more than welcome to add me!
