Hey I am new to this group and this community. I am looking for some supportive buddies who can motivate me, while I also motivate them! I am tired of being fat and I would like to be a normal weight. I don't want to waste all of my 20's being fat and uncomfortable. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Hi! I'm a newbie too! I have the same feelings, tired of feeling like I'm wasting my youth being insecure and uncomfortable with myself.

    It feels so good to have someone to relate to, someone that gets it. I think that most people think because your "younger" that means that the weight comes off easier, but it doesn't. I think that having this group and this support system, we will be melting this weight off in no time! If you ever want to talk or need some encouragement, just shoot me a message!

    Hello everyone! I am also on the same position as well. I went through my closest yesterday and only 50% of my clothes fit. That was my wake up call . Feel free to add me!

    Feel free to add me too! 26, larger than I'd like, and I want to be healthy FOR GOOD!

    I've been going back and forth between extreme restrictive dieting and "just living life" (indulging way too much!). I finally started seeing a dietician to find a happy middle ground and I already lost 6 lbs from my highest stable weight this summer! (3 from my lowest). Woohoo! Trying to lose weight in a sustainable way. My dietician has also really been helping me with the emotional aspect of weight, which is really helpful. (Let's be real, I've had really toxic thought patterns about all this.)

    I want to be able to choose outfits on how awesome they are, not just if they hide my arms and stomach! I want to feel confident!

    I'm new to this group too! Looking for more motivational friends :)

    After college (when I was in shape and felt good about myself), I went straight to law school, where I struggled to find a good routine and then in the last almost 2 years since graduation, I've gained even more weight due to family/job/moving situations. I saw a number on the scale I had never seen before and hope to never see again...I'm more determined than ever to lose 50 pounds this year and get back to feeling comfortable and confident!

    Feel free to add me too, it is a common story weight gain secondary to school, health issues (nothing serious just steroid use), family and moving around. I want to lose 45 lbs so feel free to add me and we can support one another in our journey.

    Hi!!! My start weight was 225ish after I injured my ankle. I've lost a bit over 35lbs so far about 3-4 months of dieting (Oct-March but with a 1-2 month break) and I'm out of the 190s as of today woohoo! :D 13.8lbs from the halfway point of my goal weight (which is 127). Halfway point is 176. I'm 5'4" and 26 going on 27 years old. :) Add me if you want! Also, be aware I don't eat clean. I eat what I like although I do sometimes try to get decent protein compared to what I ate before (I'm a vegetarian so it's difficult).
