in Introduce Yourself
Hey there. I'm new to this site, and am unsure of where to go from here. I'm 29, a bit over 300 lbs, and in desperate need of a healthier lifestyle. I have chronic back pain, and have been dealing with depression for many years. I would appreciate it if some people out there could friend me so I could be part of a larger support group. Thanks.

    Hey there!

    =)
    I'm no stranger to the havoc that depression can wreak on your weight loss attempts. It's something I'm struggling with right now. But one thing I know for sure is that we can do this!
