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!

No surgery, no ballistics...healthier choices in food, fitness and self-talk, I am a work in progress but want you to know You Can!!! This is not bigger than you, you have control you just have to utilize it. I have before and after pics in my blogspot on my page if you want to see Em!!! Good luck and strength!!!

    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 :)

    Figured I'd post another motivating success story to show you just how possible it is!

    I basically was you, lol. Just turned 29 in February, so a year ago I was 28, with 60lbs to lose. Currently I've lost 66lbs, am at maintenance, have NEVER felt better in my entire life, and am concentrating on toning/sculpting. Feel free to 'friend' me for support from someone who's 'been there done that'. Lol

    Hi, I'm 28 with about 32 pounds to lose! Just had a baby 2 weeks ago so can't start the exercise yet, but looking forward to starting the diet. I'm hoping making friends on here can help hold me accountable for it.

    22 years old with 40-45 pounds to lose! I didn't realize how bad it had gotten ''til I stepped on a scale earlier this week. But I hope with the support on here and fixing my diet and exercise regiment I can get back to being healthy!
