in Introduce Yourself
Hello, today is day one for my weight-loss journey. I don't really have many supportive friends or family, so for the most part I am doing this alone. I could get surgery, which is a great alternative for some, but a last resort for me - I don't judge those that have or those that do, it's just not an option for me right now - I figure I got myself into this, I need to find a way out of it.

If you are interested in someone that is motivated and reached the bottom where I have to do something - I'm tired of hurting each day, I am tired of limitations, tired of trying on clothes to find that nothing fits, tired of taking up two seats on the airplane, and just generally frustrated with life passing me by. Feel free to message me and we can support one another through the ups and downs.

    I'm sorry that you don't have the support you should have. You'll hopefully find that it is a supportive community around here and be able to get on your way to reaching your goals.

    I have quite a bit of experience with nutrition and exercise (albeit, not as much as some veterans), so if you have any questions or need any support, feel free to message me. I'll send you a friend request.

    Hey Michelle! I'm totally with you. I could get surgery if I wanted to but I feel like I need to do this on my own. I just started a week or so ago. Feel free to add me!
