in Motivation and Support
Hello all. I am 40 years old, and need to lose over 200 pounds and debating surgery. I don't have the support in my life on sustain long term changes and would be great to have someone or people to do this with. Ideally would prefer similar weight loss goals and be in it for the long haul. Daily check ins, discuss obstacles, successes, etc. All the ups and downs not just cheering.

    I need to lose over 200 lbs as well. Ive done this on again/off again and I am getting tired of it. I need to be healthy for my children. I struggle and I don't try to be perfect. I am not a fan of the just cheering either. It is nice to have someone to talk to

    Hello!! I need to lose closer to 180, but would love the support and friendship and chatting :) I've been considering surgery too, and tried it once but got all the way up to getting a surgery date and I chickened out because I don't have the support at home to manage recovery. Sounds great to know other long haulers!

    Hello. I turned 51 this year and it's been a rough one. I'm inching closer and closer to 300 and I'm just in disbelief that i let myself get this far gone. I've been on and off here several times, always give up when it doesn't happen fast. Then it's on to the next fad I hope will work. I really need some accountability, don't have any real friends for support and my husband doesn't help much either so pretty much on my own with this. The encouraging posts on here are great and everyone seems super encouraging.

    @MNPisces I added you on here. I am in a very similar situation. Losing weight on my own and trying to work with people on here. Know you have people all over this site who are fighting the same fight and winning and losing the same battles.

    Welcome to MFP
    Feel free to friend me if you like. I’ve lost 40 and have maybe 60 maybe 80 more to go. My dr and I will make that decision when we get closer.

    Anyhow. I wanted to invite you to the Larger Losers group. Very supportive. You’re not alone. Truly.
