On a journey to loose 142 pounds. Looking for friends!

hi julianne,

i have also tried everything under the sun to lose weight, but have gotten sick and tired of losing weight and then gaining it plus more. i have been doing this for 2 weeks and so far have lost 3.2 kg (approx 7 pounds), i am 27 and weigh 136.5kg (about 300 pounds), i know exactly where u have been and i hope that we can both succeed.

im here for support if you want it

Hi, first off, congratulations on making a change for the new year, you are on the right site which is a bonus in itself, cause you got support right here. I am taking the same journey, not an easy road, but happy to help out where I can.

Hi there,

I think everyone feels the same as you, i keep trying all different diets and never works, i think thinking of it as a diet doesn't help, thinking you can't eat chocolate when you want or cakes is what doesn't help. I find with me if i deprive myself of something i want it even more then when i eat i eat lots of it ) trust me eat everything in moderation, exersise at least half hour 3-4 days a week (make sure when you exersise your heart is elevated) your'll do it. Also my problem is i think i can do a quick fix, that ill be thin in like 6months but it don't work like that. Just keep postive guys, add me if ya wish, im losing some for my hol, haven't got a goal in mind just lose what i can )

Good luck to you all

Good luck I have struggled with my weight since I was in my teens and started dieting at 25 when I was about 300lb and managed to get down to about 140. I yo yo up and down now but always stop when I get close to 200 and get back down to about 150 as I'm happy around there now. So you can do it even though it's something I always have to battle with as I love food. Niki

Hey add me if you'd like...

Hey all, I'm Juliane. I'm a college student, 322 pounds, and 22 years old. After so many diets, personal trainers, exercise programs, etc, I think I'm finally ready to start something new. I hope there's someone on here who's in my boat. But either way, I'd love to meet some people and hopefully give them some support!

I started off at 377 lbs with 192 lbs to lose! I'm sitting right next to you in that boat. :flowerforyou: Feel free to friend me for support.

Well, it's nice to meet people in my boat. i am 26, I weigh 274, I started a few months ago at 284, I had dropped down to 260 but gained the extra weight back. I have PCOS and endometriosis, it makes it very hard to lose weight, especially when I am in pain a lot. I am trying to push through the pain, and get some what of a work out done, as well as eat right. I am looking for friends as well, so others may add me.

Me 2!!! Add me, I'm trying to lose about 150lbs and I'm looking for a good support system! Also check me out on youtube... Diamonddazzles05 its mah weightloss channel
