Hey Everyone,

My name is Rachael! I'm 24 and living in New York City. I'm looking to change my lifestyle and start taking care of me. I've always been bigger and just had accepted it but something recently clicked for me and I'm tired of accepting it. I'm here to change it!!

I'm looking for motivating friends who can support one another through our lifestyles. I'm currently at 260 and my goal is to drop the weight and be at 140. I'm starting an inspiration board, making weekly menus, working out at least 3x a week, and learning to love myself.

If you are on a similar journey please reach out. Let's help one another and change our lifes for the better.

Much Love,
Rach

    I'm similar here. Just started this lifestyle change and would love to share our journey. I'm 32, mother of 3 and also looking to drop some weight. In the past year I've gained 15 lbs to put me at a max weight of 220.6 and I know I need to make a change since my kids are go go go and I just want to be able to keep up with them. My ultimate goal is to be at a "normal" BMI which would mean I have to lose a minimum of 82.6lbs. Sounds crazy right now but hopefully we can achieve our goals together.

    Hello there. I understand exactly where you are coming from. I began my journey after almost losing my dad 6 years ago. At the time, I was 388 pounds. I am almost at 100 pounds lost but have been plateaued for a bit. Its been a long hard road but so worth it. Best of luck to you. Feel free to add me for extra support/motivation

    I am looking to loose around the 100 pound mark too! I started a month ago with a Hospital sponsored weigh loss program. 4 meal replacement shakes and one meal a day + exercise. So far pretty happy having lost 12 pounds so far. Add me too if you would like.

    Happy to support anyone who will give mutual support been here for three years and lost 50 lbs, must offer mutual support as if you don't give support you are unlikely to receive the help you need. Good luck to you all you can do this
