Hello everyone!

I just found this site and I'm really excited to see everyone is so friendly and supportive. I am 28 and a very lonely person, the reason for which to a great extend is my weight, which has really given me problems socializing. Currently I weight 255lbs after dropping about 9 quick pounds during the first 2 weeks since I started dieting, I want to go back to about 154lbs which is where I was some years ago before I started gaining and gaining and not doing anything to stop or reverse it... Not until now, and now I am 100% decided to DO IT!

I really hope to make new friends, get advice, support and warmth, which I so lack in real life. I am used to struggling through everything alone, and I've been alone for like forever, I believe I can achieve it on my own but it's always easier when there are people to stimulate you and hopefully be stimulated by me.

Thank you very much!

Pet

    the topic title should read "...proportionally to the pounds I am going to lose", I guess it has some characters limit, i'm not regular at forums, so much for a first try :)

    Welcome, you will be lonely no more!! Start by adding a bunch of friends, then make a point to check in often and see how everyone is doing. The community is as big a part of success as the plan, so we're glad to have a new member of the community!

    Hey! I'm new here too. I am kind of a loner IRL as well, so I understand. I tend to keep to myself by choice though. The only real companionship I have is with my husband, but he's deployed for this entire year! When it comes to this weight loss thing, the support is definitely needed. I will be on here frequently trying to get tips and ask for motivation and support. I hope I can offer you the same!
