"need A Buddy/mentor"

Hey everyone :behindsofa:

I'm Jodie, aged 27 and from Sydney, Australia.

I live with my fiance and do shift work (graveyard) in a call centre (sitting on my butt all night).

I have surgery in 5 days and I need a buddy cause I find when i have encouragement it keeps me on track a bit better.

I would guess and say i need to lose 180 pounds (I hope that's do-able)

I would love someone who has been successful in losing a similar ammount of weight.

Anyway thanks for reading :grouphug:
