not so new....but need some support from....

anyone who is on here FOR FITNESS AND HEALTH REASONS. anyone who is NOT on here to blog about money, shopping, new boobs, etc. anyone who will RESPOND AND INTERACT...and i dont mean respond/interact ONLY with people who are talking about money/shopping/new boobs!

i came here for support, motivation, and people who have the same goals as me! But im not finding many people who are here for the same reasons!

Anyone else need a support buddy? I have 3-4 of the top of my head that i can think of that have actually been supportive to me, out of the 40ish + on my "friends list".

I try to reply to every ones posts (at least one post per person a day at the least)! Im a stay at home mom so im on here a lot when kids are napping, having down time, playing by themselves, etc. I'd love to find people who are SERIOUS about health/fitness that need support and are willing to give it as well!

PS. im 21, with 2 kids. i have about 100 pounds to lose over all and no support system in real life. all of my friends/family are over weight, obese and morbidly obese but no one seems to want to do anything about it- so i'll be here a while!

    I am here for the support too. I love this website for that reason. Everyone on my list is very supportive. If you have that much to lose you should look into the 17 day diet.. I am a firm believer in it. Not only have i lost alot of weight already I feel great. I have so much energy and I am never hungry on the diet!

    Could always use more support. I'm also here for health reasons and to get fit.
  • I am here because I am overweight and it is affecting my health. My blood pressure is up, my cholesterol is way too high. I could use some support as well. i have never tried to lose weight before and had no idea it was going to be this damn hard.
  • Today is my first day, and I also have over 100lbs to lose. Add me if you would like, as I don't have any friends here yet :)
  • I try to support all of my friends. I respond to just about every post I see. I'd be happy to support you in any way I can. I am here to lose weight and I don't care about all that other stuff.

  • I am hear for health reasons too! I have 100 to loose and can use all the support there is. I love this site only been here for about 2 weeks but it is amazing already. It has pushed me to get off my butt and do something. Please add me if you would like. Anyone else looking for support can too.

    There are some wonderful support available on this site...you just have to friend the right people.....Eventhough I am working, I do try to catch up with all my friends throughout the day and keep myself and everyone motivated...but there are days when life catches up with you and its hard, but I try. Feel free to add me as a friend. I started on this journey 7 months ago, needing to lose about 80 pounds (most likely close to 100 pounds)...but when I started didn't realize I can lose anything at all....but throughout the past couple of months with awesome support and encouragement, I am down 53 pounds and still moving down....

    Hi,
    I am here to lose another 10 or 15 pounds. Lost 20 at an at work program which just ended. I have found some nice folks here that I can relate to which helps a lot. I am sure this hard with two little ones at home. I have two as well but they are in school and preschool. My weight loss has been sloooooow due to some other health issues. It took me a while but I am ok with the slow pace now. I am sticking with it after a year and am still going in the right direction.

    Hang in there.

    I have been considering it. Where do I find the book at?

  • I'd love to have some friends that would like to support me! I am so unhappy with my body right now and I am really determined this time to do something with myself. I have a baby who is 8 months and I would love to be able to run after him when it gets to that point. Add me if you would like....
  • Thanks everyone! Requests sent (and accepted!)
