Looking for a buddy who-like me-has a LOOOOONG way to go.

I think that having to lose 250# is a WAY different journey than even losing 100#.

I have lost 60# in two months-but you can't even tell.

I am a 57 year old female. I live in Utah. I am 6' tall. I have been at my this-my highest weight for at least 20 years. Which means that for 20 years I haven't been able to go into a store to shop.

Before I can go anywhere I have to take into account the seating arrangements, I seldom go into other peoples home or ride in their car.

I graduated from college 2 years ago with a degree in Social Work, but would never think of even applying for a job until I lose a LOT more weight.

I would love to have a buddy or two-male or female-who might have something in common.

Debi:

I don't have as far to go as you do, but my own pile of mistakes looks like a mountain to me. I'd love to be buddies though.

This is going to be a transforming year for both of us.

Take care and hang in there ...

I started at 444 pounds and have lost 141 pounds since my surgery in May 2011. I still have about another 140 to 150 to lose. I'm all for having a buddy!

Congrats on your 60 pounds by the way! If you haven't already start taking pictures of yourself monthly from all angles, you'll start to see a difference...trust me!!!!! I take mine standing in front of a door so that I have a point of reference.

Debi, I've got 200 (maybe more) to lose once I have my surgery (two weeks!). I don't really know how much I should/need to lose, because I've NEVER been a normal size in my life. I'd be happy to keep in touch with you. And best of luck in your journey! 60 pounds in two months is amazing.... I hope to do as well!
