in Introduce Yourself
I need a friend to chat with on here who is starting where I am I am in the 300's and I am 29 I would like to be able to encourage each other and it would be nice to have someone that is around the same as me so they would know where I am and understand my sturggles. If you fit this let me know! Maybe we could start a group if there are more people? I am also intrested in someone who has been where I am and is working on it currently. I don't care about the age just need a friend!! Thanks!

    Hey there. I started out at 320 lbs I am currently down 46 pounds. It is very frustrating to think that we are doing so well on a healthy eating kick, but then when it's time to step on the scale there is no difference. I have found that exercise is the key to my weight loss. 4 years ago I lost 96 lbs, then I hurt my back and could no longer exercise. Since then I have had major back surgery and I have decided it's time for me to get up and get moving. Would love to keep in touch. Moral support is huge. Have a great day.

    I am not starting where you are, but it is always good to have a friend! Best wishes in your journey. I started last February and lost 20 only to gain it back. I am on my second go at this and have been strong this first week.
    Good luck!

    I have been dieting and exercising since August. I started out at 320 and am down as of today at 299!! Anyway I am 37, and would be glad to help encourage you and for you to give me a cyber kick in the pants when I start slipping! We all have times that we need encouragement--and for me, this is going to be a life long journey. Would love to have friends to travel this road with me.

    I started at 320 myself and am getting so close to the twos! It has been slow the last couple of weeks as I figure out the foods that my body responds best. Great start in taking this step for you and you'll find the community to be amazing support and encouragement, too. If you need another friend, feel free to add me.

    Hi!! I started in the 370's a little over a year ago and have lost 95 lbs. I know all to well the struggles of dealing with day to day challenges. I would love the extra support. I am going for a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE change this time because diet just means to me that I will eat like this again and never learn to really be in control. I struggle with depression among others I have been using a great meal plan that has completely cut my need for anti depressants. Fill free to add me. I look forward to getting to know you. Good Luck on your journey to a healthier you.

    Hi all just joined today. I'm 356 as of last weigh- in. Yes ma'am I'm in. A group like this is great because staying motivated with so much to lose is sometimes a challenge.
