in Introduce Yourself
My name is Missy. I am overweight and not proud of it. I am 23 and not living my life to the fullest because of the extra weight I have on me. I signed up a month ago and never took this seriously until I realized I'm the one in my way. So I am taking the steps to improve that side of me that likes to quit. I would love to have some friends to support me and support them in turn. It's hard doing this on my own. And this site has enlightened me. I would love to tell you guys more about me and would enjoy hearing your story.

    I know this feeling. Since I have started this journey I have had a select few friends that have been FANTASTIC and essential to the loss I have had so far. I think its so much easier having ppl that can relate to you and are going through the same things, It keeps you focused and spurs you on also if your in a tricky spot ppl can help pull you through. Good luck with your new attitude im sure you can do this!

    Welcome back. The hardest part is recognizing what our destructive behaviors are, and sometimes that destructive element is you. But im glad you realized that and good luck with your goals. If there is anything i can help you with, just ask.

    Hey Missy...I totally hear you. I've had some health issues that stopped me from running and some other things to cause bad habits and gain a lot of weight. Frustrating, and I hold myself back hiding behind the weight. I support you and we can do this! I like this system, but the 'if you ate like this everyday' is not accurate.
