Lots to lose!

Hi! I'm new here with a lot of weight to lose. I need to lose 200 lbs :/ . I'm 54, a type 2 diabetic and could really use some friends who also have a lot to lose! A nurse told me about this site in hopes it would help me to stay motivated to lose weight. Is there anyone out there who would like to be friends?

    There is a group here you might like, one specifically for people who have (or had) 75 or more pounds to lose. I'm not a member (started loss slightly too low to qualify), but know many of the members from their posts here in the broader community, and it seems like a good bunch. Maybe you might take a look and see if it looks like it would suit you? You can read the posts without joining, but would need to join in order to post there.

    A group like that can be a good way to virtually-meet people and get support and encouragement.

    Best wishes!

    It's worth tackling all this... you might check out the June challenges getting started too - info in the Challenges area.

    Absolutely I have 200+ pounds I am working on losing. I'm still new to all of this and don't really know how to add people yet but I will definitely help you in your journey. We are all in this together and we are all in need of support in some way. I hope you have a wonderful night from mississippi.
