Hi everyone! I'm 25 and my goal is to lose 90 pounds. Unfortunetly, I don't have a lot of support in the ''real world'' but I'm hoping to find some here. I am a very positive person and would love to share this journey with others. I am looking for people who will help to keep me accountable and to give me some encourage meant. I, of course, would be more than happy to do that same for you as well. Please help! I've literally got close friends who encourage me to binge eat and I can't deal with feeling like I'm completely alone in the weight loss universe!

    Hi! I understand how hard those kind of "friends" can be! All my coworkers are constantly pushing junk food in my face. Sometimes it feels like other's just want you to fail, right?! The best part of this journey is getting to prove them wrong!

    You're more than welcome to add me. [:

    Yeah. I have a close friend who used to be very skinny and now she is bigger than I am. I honestly feel like she purposely sabotages me and my efforts because she has no motivation. She's constantly telling me to cheat on my diet and always handing me fatty foods. It makes me really upset because as a friend you should want someone to succeed and be healthy, even if you aren't there yourself.

    There is a girl that I work with, she is 100 lbs heavier than I am, we set up dates to go walk at the mall, or i suggest us having someone go get us salads or subs from subway.. she has them also pick her up stuff from mcd's or if we order salads from a pizza house, she gets a dessert pizza and garlic cheese bread (and then proceeds to force it on me when she doesnt want anymore of it)

    If you let these people stress you out, you are more likely to eat things you shouldn't.. Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards.. Stay on track and keep your eyes on the goal.. Always here if you need to talk about the negative people and try to refocus on your goals

    I didnt finish the one thought.. When we set up dates to go walking, i'll be there waiting for her and she will never show.. even when i remind her the night before..

    Hey! I could always use extra support, i tend to wanna sneak extra calorie snacks in, lol, plus my family isnt as supportive as id like, im lucky enough to have coworkers who r dieting also, so i do get support there. But any extra support would always be welcomed and giving back in return :-D
