First I am SO happy to be able to post finally. I signed up yesterday and I was having a complete mind trip and really needed someone to talk to, to vent to. Someone who KNOWS how I feel and has been in my shoes.

I have tried other support type sites but this is the first I have found where nearly everyone here has either been overweight/obese or does not have the "skinny gene" and actually has to work to maintain.

I am over my mind trip and am feeling better today.

here is a little bit about me, I am 24 mother of two, I have been overweight my whole life, my highest weight was 260 I now weigh 170, and I am 5'4. i was down to 156 but the holidays and some relationship issues happened and I kinda feel off track. Im ready to get back on track and get it done. I have a large frame so idealistically I want to weigh 140 basically a size 5 I think would be a good size for me. At 156 I was wearing 7/8's so I think that its achieveable. So.. anyone that would like to be my buddy that would be great.

Hi and

This is a great place to be and I'm sure you will find many supporters here. I've gotten so much support since I joined and it's helped to get me back on track with weight loss and exercise.

Best Wishes

Hi,,, wanted to welcome you to the forum this place is wonderful.. very supportive. If you really want to lose weight this is the place to be. And I know you'll be in those size 5's soon

Thanks alot, I really do like it here already. It reminds me alot of a board I used for a little while when I was pregnant with my daughter. It was called Bellies and Babies, it was here one day and gone the next with no warning.. I was sooo sad. Anyways, hope that doesnt happen here.
