Need friends for success

I have been trying to lose weight on and off for the last 6 years-mostly by myself. I am the heaviest I have ever been (minus the 7 lbs I have lost so far). I have 33 more pounds to go and I have come to the conclusion that support and accountability will be a great help.

  • Hi Sandra, !! I just sent you a friend request. Support and accountability are definitely the key to this !!
  • Accountability is a huge thing for me. It's like, if no one is holding me responsible during the times that I want to give up then I just give up and oh well, another failure.
    But this place has been great because of it's Facebook-esque setup.

    Good Luck on your weight loss! :)

    I'm so glad you friended me! I think support from others is VITAL - and I don't reach out enough to others! Especially when I am tempted to eat food that's not healthy! (weekday afternoons, that 3-4pm boredom or "I don't feel like working, I'll have a snack instead")
