Hello there. I'm​ a 26 year old woman. I have been big my whole life but it got much worse after high school and definitely after college. I have over 100lbs to lose could probably lose close to 200. I am 357 lbs at 5'5". Anyone is a similar situation? I have friends and family members who want to lose a few pounds but nothing close like what I have to lose and they don't understand. Would love to make some friends with people in a similar situation. Any new friends welcome though!

    What has been working best for you? That's awesome! I hope in 9 months I am close to where you are! I have tried losing weight a bunch of times and I have decided this is my final try. I will get there no matter what or how many times I have to get back on track.

    I am 5'5" and I have 100bs to loose as well. I just started today after stepping on the scale. I just had blood tests to reveal I have high blood sugar along with already have high blood pressure/severe sleep apnea(treated)/ constant sore lower back due to weight. If anyone else is experiencing medical side effects that are similar and motivating a change for them, please let me know.

    Hi! Congrats on getting started on your journey. Although I cannot possibly understand your specific situation I did have about 85 pounds to lose starting December 2015. And February I was at the 60 pounds to lose mark.

    I'm in the same sinking boat! Starting today and hand over 100lbs to lose. I need a lot of support because I don't get much from my 30 inch bf who eats junk non stop! So I we can support each other !!!

    weight loss surgery in conjunction with the ten day smoothie cleanse a few times and going high fat low/no carb.. im now vegan tho.. but thats a whole nother beast...

    oh and i have three gym memberships and workout until im drenched almost everyday with my day off consisting of yoga. sounds daunting cause honestly it is but it becomes a way of life

    good luck

    Hello!!! I'm 260 and 32 years old. I seem to bounce between my current weight and 275 pretty frequently. I'd like to lose around 100+ right now. I definitely know how you feel and love making new friends as I just signed up for the third time last night.
