Under 30 with a lot to lose!
I started on May 5th, 2010, and am thrilled that I've lost 13 pounds so far! I'm a 24 year old single girl living in New York City. I have an amazing job, beautiful friends, a cheap AND large apartment (it's a real estate miracle!), and the world's cutest dog. Life is pretty good!
However, my weight has always been something I've struggled with. I still grapple with my own personal insecurities which are still holding fast, and are about as old as I am. I look back at photographs from when I was 18 and can't believe how incredibly beautiful and THIN I was. But I remember feeling the absolute fattest girl in the world. I am trying to figure out why I have such poor body image, and take everything one day at a time as I try to change my life.
I'd love to have a diet buddy around my age (though open to all!) who understand's what it's like to have over a hundred pounds to lose. It's something I feel uncomfortable talking about with my friends and family - not my diet, so much, but about how very far I have to go. I hope there's someone out there who could benefit as well, and we can work towards our goals together!
Thanks so much for your time - have a lovely day!!
Hello! I am right there with you. I currently at 264 ( the highest ever) , just turned 30 2weeeks ago, and I would love to get down to about 14-160lbs. I was diagnosed with diabetes 3yrs ago and at that time I lost 60lbs, but that was due to my medication not a lifestyle change. I met my future husband and moved in with him, and while planning our wedding I gained it all back and had to exchange my wedding dress for a larger size..talk about embarrasing.
My biggest downfall is fast food. I actually like to excerise but prefer to do it with someone. I am going Sat. to do an orientation for group cycling. I'm hoping to ride in the Tour de Cour in August. It's a 12 mile bike ride benefiting diabetes.
I completely understand not being able to talk to your friends and family regarding how much you need to lose. I haven't even told my husband. I don't understand how I could go back to weighing so much. I would love to be your "diet buddy" and help encourage you any way I can.

I started at 261 and am now at 245 (what what!) and right now my goal weight is 150. I think we'll be perfect buddies!
Talk to you soon!
