34, single ( always have been, really ) and no kiddos. Would love to be friends with others in that area of their life. Feel free to add me. =)

SE Wisconsin! Looking for others around the area =)

Welcome! This place is wonderful. Request sent. Anyone feel free to add me as well.

Started at 278, got down to 185, stayed there a year, then gained and am up to 224. Need to get back in the 180's!!

absolutely everything. But mostly, a social life. A dating life, and a life of loving myself. It's the root of all my terrible social anxiety, I am most certain of it. And then when I do lose weight, and get paid attention to, I run back to the food. I know I am a good person, I'm fun, nice, and would do anything for the…

Love pancakes! Will be trying this!

frozen strawberries are awesome in smoothies! =)

friend request sent. =) I love having people in Wisconsin to converse with.. the closer they are to me the better too. Would like to be able to converse with people who understand and be able to kick my butt into gear when needed. =)

Can an older lady join in? ;) I"m 34. Highest weight was 278, got down to 185, am currently 225, goal weight is 160.

I'm about 40 minutes south of Brookfield! Welcome!

To beat anxiety and actually live life

awe. you're all gorgeous. Hopefully one day I will be married.

Thank you for sharing. Your story is incredible =)

People who would tell me that I needed to lose weight, or that I'd never find someone to love me if I didn't lose weight NEVER motivated me. It made me sad and depressed, so I ate MORE. What did it for me, was summer 2007, I was at an amusement park, waited 2 hours to get on a roller coaster, and found out I did not fit in…

Do you really have to "rinse" it the way it says too? Can't you just cook it without the rinse process?

mmmmm, will try this!

I'll usually throw one mesg their way asking if I did or said something to offend them. But if they continue to ignore me, I'm not about to chase someone who doesn't want to talk to me, no matter how much it might hurt. And it does sometimes! If they contact me after a time, yes, I talk to them. I'm a softy that way, and…

Way to go!!! That is awesome!

Same but flipped the sexes. I also have terrible anxiety around men and have a irrational fear that even if they do say they want to be with me, or tell me that I'm beautiful, they really don't mean it. It's hard when you've spent your entire life being "the friend" to think of yourself as anything other than that. =(

Will it work with an eplyptical? OR just overall movements, or simply walking/running?

Yes, and some size 26. Started at 278 pounds ( or my known highest weight ) I got down to 185 and a size 14 pant, but then gained up to 234 and size 18 pant. I'm now working my way back down and am currently 225 and size 18 pants

*waves* I have terrible, horrible, debilitating anxiety. I think most of it is social anxiety, but I suffer from overall worry anxiety as well. I don't know how to even ask for help. I don't like the idea of talking with a doctor about it. I don't like the idea of having to take meds for it. But I think it is coming to the…

Sara 33 ( for a couple more days anyway ) SE Wisconsin

passed out at a Christmas party, ambulance was called. It was terrible.

I haven't. But I would be open to it. Would be nice to talk with and work out with people close by.

hmmm, I might try this tonight

I might, if I even knew how to even go about it. Or the thought of talking to a professional didn't give me great anxiety. Part of that though may be figuring out how to pay for it since I don't have much extra cash. It just kind stinks all around. I know I'm a good person and want to find someone to share a life with, but…

well, I feel very alone here. LOL. I'm pretty natural. I don't think I have a crazy amount of hair, but really, I guess I feel like it's there for a reason.

Forever, sadly. Social Anxiety gets worse every day as well.

In for advice on this. I suffer from all kinds of anxiety. I'd talk to a doctor......if I was so damned scared what they may say. The thought of admitting it out in the open like that makes me feel physically ill.
