I have just started dieting due to my doctor opening my eyes the the heart risks and other health risk due to being overweight. I have decided I have had enough of being this way and hoping it will cut down on the risk and take me off most of the meds. that I am on. I am just looking for friends to vent on when I'm down and to pick me up when I don't think I can do it anymore. Hope to hear from someone.....Take care and good luck to all.....:smile:

    Welcome and good luck! Since I have been on this site, I've gotten lots of support, advice and I've lost enough weight that my doctor took me off my blood pressure meds a few months ago. You're going to do great!

    I am a stay at home mom with a 4 year old little girl. I have been dieting off and on for a couple of months but recently started the 17 day diet and so far so good. I plan to stick with this diet and hopefully lose 65 pounds before May 1,2011. I am not big on exercising but I know it has to be done in order to lose weight. If you'd like to be weightloss buddies let me know. I look forward to hearing from you soon and good luck!

    I am open to accepting new friends if you want to add me. I am here everyday...almost all day. I don't mind the venting and sharing ideas.
  • You can request me. I am not even sure how to do it. I am also new here. I've been doing it for 10 days and have already lost 7 lbs. :happy:
  • I would be happy to share support with you. Venting is healthy and we all need it sometimes. We can encourage each other.

    Hi I'm new also. I have struggled with weight all my life but when I stepped on the scale and saw that my short 5'2" body weighed in over 200 pounds I knew it was time to change. My doctor also said that it will help with my RA. Here's to a new lifestyle and a new body (: I hope haha.

  • Hi - I'm new as well. I just joined last month. I haven't actively looked for friends yet b/c I wanted to try the site out and make sure it's something I would stick with and so far it's great. I love it and have lost almost 10 lbs since I've started on this site. Now I'm ready to open up and look for friends and support as well so you can add me if you would like. Good luck! :smile:

    Hi, I'm new here, but not... I've been using the iPhone app for along time, but it's pretty lonely and discouraging when you have no friends. I could use the friends and support too. I find that I will track my food for a week or two and then I get lazy. Or I'll walk for a couple of days and that's it.
    If any of you want to add me or let me add you as friends, I would really appreciate it!!
  • i am new here too!!! please add me, i am well on my way to losing this weight. i could use all the support i can get!!
  • Feel free to add me as well this site is great because it full of people just like u . People whoknow they need to make a change and just need some encourgement. I've been on this site for about 2 weeks i've lost 5 pounds already. Stay with it and the food counter helps alot good luck
