New & looking for friends

  • Hi,
    This is a big first step for me.
    I have a lot of weight to lose so it's going to be a long and slow process but I'm ready for it.
    I do feel like I'm at a cross roads of sorts...I have lost myself in this body and I either lose the weight and find myself again or I dont.
    I would love some friends that have similar goals and issues.
    I look forward to hearing other people's stories and getting to know you. I hope this support will add an element of motivation for me as well as the emotional support. I come from a family of skinny's so it can be difficult to talk about.

    I can't wait to post more in the coming months, hopefully of real changes in my lifestyle and body.
  • Welcome, Elissipy!

    I actually just finished reading your comment on my introduction! We can take control of our lives for good this time.

    I'm looking forward to getting to know you!
  • Hi elissipy! So glad you made your decision! You've got a great attitude so far ^^

    I'm sure you'll find lots of people to give you support here, including moi. I'll see you around the forums
