in Introduce Yourself
Hello All! I'm 28 years old, from Massachusetts with a minimum goal of 50lbs to lose. I never ever ever thought in a million years I'd be saying that....but here I am. I always start & stop, start & stop....but this is just too much--196lbs is just too much. Super friendly and always trying to meet new people!

    It's nice to know others are in the same boat! Just about ever friend I have is 120 or less....they have no idea what the struggle is like, I'm thankful to find a place where people actually do!

    You can do this! Will it be easy? Of course not, but nothing worth anything in life is easy.


    Don't give up - it is worth it!

    Hi!!

    I totally understand what you are going through. I'm 27 and have 60lbs to lose... and it's been like that for a while. Good luck with it. If ever you want some support, feel free to add me as a friend... maybe we could support each other (sounds a little freaky 'cause we don't know each other, and I'm new to the site... but who knows? Maybe it could be a good tool!).

    Good luck!

    totally true! its hard to stay focused and motivated when a lot of the people in your life just don't get where you're coming from. that's why this site is so amazing: we have similar goals :)
