Hi,
My name is Ashley. I started my weight loss two weeks ago and so far have lost almost 6 pounds. I started at 229.4 and am now at 223.6. My goal weight is 160 pounds.

I would really love a support group to help me stick to eating right. Please, friend me so we can help each other make our goals!

    I just started back after losing and gaining back. So disappointed in myself but I'll make it happen. You are doing good! Keep it up!

    Hello! I am looking for some friendly support during my weight loss battle, and in turn, will happily give you support in yours! I need to lose as much weight as possible before having knee surgery later this year, as I am obese. My biggest obstacle is that fact that I have a very poor metabolism due to not having a thyroid gland. With my physical disabilities, the ONLY form of exercise I can do is swimming. I am 52, a single Mom in Ontario, Canada.....please tell me yours story and dreams.....

    hello!

    i'm new to this too and could use all the support i can get. but i don't know how to add friends or anything like that. if someone could explain that, i'd be glad to join a support group.

    I'd like support too! I had a more modest 20 or 22-lb weight loss goal, and have lost about 16 lbs so far but I'm a little stuck right now and am worried that I'll start to regain it back.

    To add someone, just click on their profile (or picture) and on it there's a button that says, "Add as Friend" then confirm. I sent you a request, if you need help feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to assist!
