Just turned 21/Needing to lose about 60LBS+/Need New buddies/From KY

I've read through a few of these & don't really know what to say?  LOL  I kind of feel like I'm writing a "singles add" ... Haha.  Sarcasm, gotta love it!

I am a singer & just released my first solo CD in a small town.  I love to perform, & LOVE being on stage ... but, I hate the pictures of my printed in my local newspaper, and any pictures for that matter because I am so overweight.  I'm only 5'2 & weight 200lbs.  I hit the 200lbs mark right after Christmas & sadness has set in.  My New Year's Rez., like zillions of people out there, is to lose weight ... preferably before summer! 

Enough about me though, I'd like to hear from you!!!  Please feel free to send me a message.  I am new to this & would love to be a supporter & be supported ... LOL  Is that cheezy?  Ha-

Hi there!  I started this yesterday well really today bcuz I ate a lot of stuff I shouldn't have yesterday lol but anyways I am also 21 and I live in CA.  I am 5'5 and weigh 180 lbs. and I should be at about 135 so I have got a way to go as well.  Most people tell me you cant tell I weigh that much but I don't see it that way. 

 So like you and everyone else I too am trying to start this year right trying to lose weight and attain a healthier lifestyle.  I would love to have someone who could motivate me and vice versa.  That seems to be my problem, no motivation.  Although I really want to do something about it and I want to look better I'm just really lazy.  It takes a lot to get me to the gym but when I'm there I love it!  Losing the weight before summer sounds great. 

Well take care and hope to hear from u soon.  I start the gym today.

P.S. Thats amazing that you already put out a CD.  What kind of music do you sing?

Hey I'm 24, need to lose 50 lbs, and live in Kentucky also!  I think there is alot of support to be found here and I'm willing to help if you'll keep an eye on me.  I'll friend you and send a personal message.  Don't give up and keep in mind that it is about health not weight.  Watch the cals but, also be sure to get what your body needs.  We're in this together.  Talk with you soon!
