I am looking for someone that will message/text me to keep me accountable, and I will do the same for you. I don't have anyone in my life that has to lose this large amount of weight like me, and it is discouraging. I am hoping to find someone out there that knows how i feel.
Me: 36, live in Wisconsin, married. No kids but fur babies. I work full time in retail management. I've lost a good amount of weight before but gained it all back. Now i want to lose it for more than the vanity of wearing certain clothes, but now i need to be able to live without pain, and not be tired at the end of a 10+ hour day, and not miss out on life.

    Hi. You can add me. I'm turning 41 in a couple weeks, married with teen and toddler girls. I work full time in a manufacturing facility. Largely, I push paper, but have flexibility for movement about the facility.

    I've been 325+ for over 15yrs. I topped out at 375 this year. November appointment had my weight at 372. I just went back and am 366.

    I'd probably be happy at 250. Clothes looked good on me and I felt good. Weight charts say I should weigh 135-140. However, I don't think it's realistic for me considering all the extra skin that will be present. I'm going to try for 195. The last time I was under 200, I was 10.

    I need help. I need accountability. I need companionship on this long journey.

    Good luck in your endeavors. You CAN do this!!

    I know exactly how I feel. It would be great to have a "health buddy" who has as much to lose as I do. Message me any time :)
