in Introduce Yourself
I am a newbie... I have come to the conclusion, that I CAN NOT, emotionally do this on my own. I need all the support and motivation I can get. So here I am ....40 years old and 342 pounds. I'm in it for the long haul and would appreciate any support ya'll could throw my way:heart:

    Welcome and I was there with you a few short weeks ago. YOu and I can do this together, if you would like to add me as a friend. I am 47 years old and weigh 341 lbs. I hate looking at my chins, feel the fat between my legs and the constant pain my knees and hips and back are in. I cant walk too well, but try and live an active lifestyle. my boyfriend is my best buddy in life, but he also will offer me Burger King or junk foods. I need a support person as much as you do...

    WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!

    I feel ya. I don't have that much to lose, but I think ANY weight is hard to lose. Just keep in mind you goal. And, don't set it too high at first because you'll just get frustrated if you don't acheive it right away.:happy:

    I am new too and have a little over 100lbs. I have very little support in my daily life and would love to offer and have mutually supportive friendship!

    Hi Be_Butterflie, I've been part of this site for nearly 3 months and I'm donig okay. I'll admit that some weeks I don't do what I'm supposed to, yet I give myself a little pep talk and keep pushing. You are correct in that this cannot be done alone. I'll keep you motivated if you'll do the same. I wish you the best of luck and you'll be successful. We just have to realized the downs come with the ups and each new day is a chance to start fresh.
