Default Really Want to Succeed at Weight Loss

Hello!

I've just started TOPS and want to get excited about weight-loss. I've been overweight since I discovered the mental health benefits of ice cream at age 12. I can clearly remember, in fact, being over 200 pounds my freshman year of high school. Anyways, I digress, I guess I'm here to find a support group and possibly to learn how to be a support to someone else.

I'm new here, too. I'm doing Weight Watcher's At Work. I really really want to lose weight and would love a support group/buddy. I find so much motivation in just reading people's posts here, especially the ones where people have lost 50, 60, 70, 100+ lbs!! Good luck to you.

Welcome ladies!
I truly believe this place is the best!
I have been trying to lose weight for about a year with no success, mostly because i would give up after a few days or a week.
Since I have found 3FC, i have been motivated by reading other people's stories, being supportive to others, getting support and posting my blog.
Good Luck!

Default I'd love a support buddy

Hi!

I'd love to have a support buddy. And I'd love even more (for once in my life) to shop in a normal store for clothes. So - if you hold me to my goal - by gosh I'll help you with yours. Now, I just have to get my tush in gear and start moving (easier said than done - I love being a couch potato and eating potato chips)!!!!
