My name is Lynn, and I thought my life was over about 6 months ago when I weighed myself. I’ve always had a metabolism problem because I couldn’t always eat when I was younger for several reasons. I found a significant other who fed me tons.. and now I’m in worse shape than I’ve ever been in. But there is no excuse- I let myself get this bad so I have to fix it.

I am 5 feet tall and ~230lbs, and I’m really trying to find the motivation to at least get back on that treadmill every day. Thanks for reading!

    Hi Lynn. I had the same epiphany when I weighed in at 295lbs. I'm 5'8", but all of my muscle mass has depleted over the years. I'd love it if we could motivate each other! I'm 275 now. Aiming for another 125lbs down. I just started MFP and need all the help I can get. :) You can do this! What's done is done and now it is time to move forward. I'm with you!

    Hey! I want in on this friendship too! I'm Tracie and like you Lynn, I am 5'1" and 221 at last check. My significant other also has an eating problem which makes things worse for me. But the doctor just told her to lose about 60# so maybe she will be more helpful and mindful. THIS is OUR time and we have to make it work! I am more than determined this time around. So let's help each other help ourselves!

    I hope to inspire my SO by actually staying committed this time... I’m so happy to be in such a supportive community! Let’s do this together! :)
