Default Hello, I'm LaughingSun
I could really use friendship and support with my weight loss journey. I've been big all of my life but I'll be 36 soon and I would like a child with my husband. I don't want one at my current size and would like to lose 150 pounds. My mini goal as of right now is just to get to 300. My husband is a huge support to me but he is tall and thin and not really able to sympathize with just how difficult it is. I don't have many friends because I work in one state and live in another so I am never in one spot long enough to make friends. So I turn to online. Hopefully you all can help me.

My name is Shauna, I'm 35, married with no kids (yet). I do have a chihuahua mix dog, a retriever dog and 2 parrots. I suppose for now they are my babies.

I look forward to getting to know everyone here!

Welcome to the forum! I am brand new as well (just joined yesterday).

What is your plan to lose weight? Are you following any particular diet like WW?

Best of luck with your weight loss journey.

I've been using Isag*enix and joined Gold's Gym and have a trainer. Hopefully with all of that combined I will be able to lose some serious weight over the course of the next year.

Thanks for saying hey!

Thanks for all of the welcomes. It's nice to feel like I'm not thought of as less for being more here.

But I want to be less!
