    I just posted a similar request! Yay, I'm glad to find you. And you're creative too since you're a yarn goddess :-)
    Here was my request but I'm emailing you soon. Thx
    I have NO friends who I see on a regular basis that are obese! And NO family at all. Is there anyone out there who is just getting started and would like a weight loss buddy? I am usually a positive and encouraging person and I need that too! I gained 100 lbs in ONE year (from a heath issue) and have never lost it. So I will be a slow loser. I just thought I'd get around to feeling like "it was time" and it hasn't hit me yet! I'm not getting any younger :-) I weigh close to 300 lbs so it'll be a long haul but I'm very excited to be beginning this journey. And there's no doubt I have some food hang ups and addictions. Anybody out there in a similar situation? Just getting started? Need a weight loss partner? Oh, I am busy, like most everybody, and could probably commit to staying connected via email about 3 times a week. Best wishes to all you other newbies out there!

    Hello!! I am also looking for people in the same situation! I would love to be your weight loss buddy!

    I am new to myfitnesspal and am just figuring out how all of this works. I got on the scale last week and was disgusted to see that I weighed 292 pounds. I knew I had to do something to get the scale moving the other way. I joined weight watchers for a 3 month membership so I am actually logging my food in both places. It is tedious but it is making me aware of what is going unto my body. i have lost 6 pounds so far BUT I know that is water weight.

    Anyhow..I would love to be a part of a support sytem. I have over 150 to lose.

    I realize that I am the first (and maybe only...) guy to respond here, but I am always open to new contacts here and I get a lot of motivation from encouraging others. You all can feel free to add me...I'd love to hear what plans you're using.
