Hello, I am looking for friends to join me in the weight loss journey. I am currently trying to lose 100+ lbs. I am 5'5, about 260 lbs, goal is 155 lbs. I have been counting calories for just a couple of days now and bought a scale today so I will officially start tracking my weight in the morning. If I can find friends that share common interests in addition to the weight loss that would be great, too. So a little about me...
I am a 26 year old woman, just got married in September and have a 1-year-old son. I recently lost my job and and am back on the job hunt. I love animals and always have kept pets: I currently have a lynx-point siamese cat and two carpet pythons. I have also kept rats, birds, dogs, crabs, and a lot of fish (saltwater and freshwater).
I enjoy music including indie, dubstep, metal, progressive, and world music. I am a fairly talented artist although I don't do much of it anymore, and studied computer animation for a while. My husband and I collect taxidermy and are beginning a historical weapons collection.
My weight loss plan consists of natural appetite suppressant supplements (we'll see if those work), a 1200 calorie diet and exercise. I have to get a code to use our apartment complex's gym, but I plan to begin on the treadmills tomorrow.

If anyone is interested in getting to know me and supporting each other in weight loss, let me know :)

    Good luck -- I have lost 50, with 40 to go, don't give up during the long dormant doldrums. It's a learning & experimentation process. Some days, you actually lose weight.

    We are almost body twins! I'm 5'1" and currently 260 looking to go to 130. Also recently married and job hunting. My love of animals focuses mostly on cats, though, and there's nothing in the world that could persuade me to become a mom. lol Friend request sent!
