Looking for a mentor who is female, 40 or older and has lost over 150#

Thank you for taking the time to look see. I am getting ready to schedule my surgery as a self pay. I am looking for someone that has traveled as similar a path as me as possible. I know everyone's story is different but I think it would be helpful to me personally to have another woman to correspond with who is similar in age and is on the other side of losing a substantial amount of weight. I am 45 and at 5' 7" I am looking to lose 180 pounds.

To anyone who reads this, whether you reply or not, I hope you are having a spectacular day!!!

    Hi there. I have actually spent a bit of time on that thread too. I am looking for more of a one on one e-mailing situation with someone in a bit more similar situation to my own.

    Thank you for responding! :rolleyes:

    I IndioGirl, How in the world did you lose 114lb in 1 yr. I just joined this page today. I introduced myself and asked for a buddy mentor in the need a buddy/mentor. I would really like to know what you did to get the weight off like that.

    Thanks!
