I'm truly new to counting calories and trying to lose weight on my own. But I'm willing to try something different to get different results but it feels a little lonely on here being the only one who is close to 300lbs. In my eyes everyone else is skinny to me, But I want to be skinney too; so please help support me. I dont know how to add friends either any advice? Thanks in advance!:blushing:

  • i'll add you!! I've got 30lbs to go and I am struggling a little bit. Once i add you, you can look on my page at my friends and find people who look inspiring to you. Just click on their page and the first option on there should be "add as a friend". Good luck, this is a great place for support.
  • Thanks so much! Friends are always needed...:happy:

    I just added you too! The only thing I can tell you is take it a day at a time. Regardless of what the scale says, weight loss is a constant struggle. That's why I decided to just focus on lifestyle changes and trying to take small steps that I can implement with consistency. You're smart to add lots of friends too because some will be present online regularly...others not so much. Any support I get I appreciate. So welcome to MFP, let's do this!

    I'll send you a request too. I know exactly how you feel. I was at 277 when I joined MFP and dropped 112 in a year. This site is amazing for support. You can do this. Never give up.
