Hi! My name is Samantha and I've been overweight most of my life. Obesity runs in my family and my mother passed away at an early age. I am tired of being trapped in my body. I want to be healthy and to feel better about myself! I have 150 lbs to lose and I need some support!! Thank you!

    Hey there & Welcome! I just joined three days ago and am so excited about this opportunity! I need to lose at least 100 pounds, so I understand where you are coming from. I am 41 years old, have heart disease and am tired of my body aching! It would be great if we can support one another! Best of luck! :smile:

    Welcome to the club! You will find so many tools, so many friends here to help you lose weight. The key is adding YOU to the mix. It's all you, kiddo. What you do and what you don't do. How you treat yourself the first time you fall off the wagon of eating and exercising. And you will. At least you will perceive it that way. But, realize how much of your life you dedicate to finding healthier ways to exist will decide how much of your life you will finally sit back and enjoy. You can do this! :smile:

    Don't let the huge number intimidate you - you'll lose it one pound at a time. :)

    I also had over 150 pounds to lose when I started almost 10 months ago (167 pounds lost is my goal, to be precise), and now I have less than 40 to go.

    It absolutely can be done. If you decide that it's what you want more than anything else, then you can do it. :)

    I was exactly where you are a year ago, send me a friend request. I also have been overweight my whole life and can relate to you. I know how overwhelming it can be to think about how much you have to lose but you can do it!!!
