hi, im ella. im 18 and from new zealand.
joined this thing a couple of hours ago and am really hoping to find some good support here. i weigh 191 pounds at the moment and am just starting to change my diet and exercise routine. recently had an operation for a disease that affected my weight gain and am hoping to get it all off as soon as possible. have had weight issues my whole life.
could really really really do with some support... dont be shy. leave me a message or alternatively, even better, email me at black_styrofoam @ hotmail.com. would really really appreciate anybody at all whos willing to help. =]

ps. am particularly interested in doing a "one month weight loss challenge" with anybody of a similar weight?

xx ella.

Hi Ella

I'm Tracy and new to the site. I live in the UK and would definitely be up for a diet buddy to keep my motivation up - I love a bit of healthy competition! I weigh 177lbs, so want to lose 37lbs to get within my 'normal' weight range (I'm 5'3").

I have also had weight issues my whole life, although I lost 20 about 18 months ago, I've put it all back on. This time it's coming off for good, though!

Hey there!

Im new too! I just posted my story under "this times a charm" and think we have a lot in common in terms of storys. Im at 180 right now and my goal is 140 also. I am really trying to motivate to exercise and eat right as well. Ive avoided binging now for about a week. Its a start, right! Well- nice to meet you both.

Hi Ella! I have a good friend who lives in NZ, always wanted to go there, seems like such a neat place. You'll find lots of people at a similar weight to you with similar goals. why dont you check out Chicks up for a Chalenge to see if you want to join in on anything?
