edited October 4 in Introduce Yourself
I am looking for more friends to add as a support system. I have been using MFP for 30 days (today...yay!) and have lost 13 lbs. I started at 304 lbs and my ultimate goal is 170 lbs. I have been big my entire life and want to get this weight off once and for all. I have a 4 year old daughter and I want her to learn health and fitness through my example. I WILL break the cycle of obesity in my family!

I am motivated more now than ever before and don't want to lose the determination and drive I have. Let me know if you are interested in being part of my support system; to encourage and keep each other motivated!

Thanks!

    Making sure you have a support system is very important! I have not had this in a long time and would love to find others who are just as motivated to lose weight as I am!

    Feel free to add me! I need as much support as I can get! My family is naturally tiny (all under 5'3" and close to 100 lbs each) so they don't get my struggle. I can't count the number of times I've seen my mom after a month at school and the first thing out of her mouth is "did you gain weight again?" Not helpful!! My husband has been extremely supportive but he has a REALLY high metabolism due to a muscle-twitch disorder (his muscles are always working so he's constantly burning calories) so he has to eat twice as much as a normal person. I'll take all the support I can get!
