My name is Bella, I'm 24 years old from Oregon. Bella is an alias, but I don't feel like I'd enjoy having the entire world know my business.

I just had my gullbladder removed, which was a tramatic experience for me. I had never been in the hospital before and certainly had never had IVS put into me, needed help going to the bathroom, been half naked in a room full of strangers, undergone surgery.

Because of the surgery, I know I need to make a complete lifestyle change. I made a lot of bad choices in the past health wise. I have not taken care of my body at all and now that has to change.

I'm hoping to find a support system through this community that can help me reach my goals, by being somewhat like my
cheerleading team.

I have a very big problem with people that are only looking to lose 5 or 10 vanity pounds. I wish to only speak with truly obese people, or people that do understand what it is like to be an obese woman in the world today.
People who scoffs at size 14-26 being 'plus size', and understands that being a 28/30+ makes life hard to find nice clothing.

Not interested in Romance. Just support.

HI Karmon & Bella.

You will find a lot of peoplewho are looking to lose a large amount of food. I want to lose a total of 120. I started New Years (again), but really started counting calories last week after I came home from a business trip and the weight is coming off. I am trying to add exercise, but I have not done too well at that. Hope we can all support each other.

Feel free to Yahoo IM or PM me. Good luck & take care - Erin
