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.0

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!0 -
Hey there - I started in the 300's. Crept into the 290's recently. It's a long journey, but I'm up for it!0

feel free to add me I've been as high as 308. I was down to 275 when I started this site. Working hard to get below the 270's. Haven't seen the 260's sence I got preg with my little boy.0

I don't know what weight she started at, but my bff zumbaabby has lost 110+!!! I'm sure she wouldn't mind you adding her. You can tell her I said so.0

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.0

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.0

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.0

Hi I have just joined this site and I am not sure how this adding friends thing works? - I am 292 lbs so just getting started so I guess I am about the same as the opening poster - but don't know how to "add people" or what that means lol.0

I started out at 370 in 2009 and managed to get down to 317 this year, but went back up to 350 :grumble:
Working on weight loss all over again!
Add me if you want! :flowerforyou:0 -
Add me! Started at 335 and down 41! Love all the support this site gives! Today to keep myself motivated I took pictures of myself front and side view on my cell phone and when I feel like having a bad food day I'm gonna whip those bad boys out!0

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.0

I am so amazed at all of you! It is so great to know there are people out there who are where I am! who know what it is like to walk into a resturant and not know if you are going to fit in a booth to never be able to go to a park and ride a roller coaster because we don't fit! These are the things I want to change in my life I want to not be limited by my size anymore!!0

I know exactly what you're saying about being limited by your size. I started on here in April 2011 and was in the 300's - I was ecstatic just to get to 299 and change that first number of my weight. I have now lost about 60 pounds (would like to lose another 100) and I really wanna change that first number again sometime in 2012. I, too was embarrassed to have to squeeze into booths in restaurants. I want to someday go to an amusement park and actually go on the rides. And I want to be able to go on a trip on an airplane. That's why I'm here, so feel free to add me as a friend if you wish. I wish you great success!
