Fat American Seeking Support

Wildflower · Post by **Wildflower** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 11:23 pm

Lol, fits the sterotype right. Just realized this seems to be a primarily UK group, but no matter, same purpose. I'm an American, I weigh... way too much. Ok if I'm being honest, all time high was 379 lbs. I don't think I've looked as big as I am/was, but you don't hide 300 lbs either. I'm 5'9". Anyway I've become more motivated, not just to lose weight, though that's a nice effect, but to excersize more and eat better and I'm trying to make that more goal. I joined a gym some months ago and have been going and have managed to lose almost 30 lbs... I was at 345 lbs last time I weighed. I work on this with some help from sister who has also struggled with weight. Well, lately with more success I've been more motivated, and I wanted a buddy or two or more to help me stay that way. To check up on me and encourage me to keep going and for whom I'd do the same. sister has had a cold recently and hasn't felt like going to the gym and so I've really been having to remind myself of what I'm trying to do to get there and I'd like more support. so if anyone out there has some weight to lose, and wants some motivation. Let's post together or exchange IM's or emails. I'm [email protected], for msn IM's or emails if you want to contact me. Let's together help each other complete our goals. Thanks

Well thanks everyone for being so welcoming. I'm going to go weigh tomorrow. *Crosses fingers* I think it'll be good, I've really been trying the past couple of weeks.
