Looking for a Friend in Virginia

Im a 23 yr old mother of a 2 yr old.  Im trying to get motivated to lose weight for the sake of my daughter.  I could really use a pen pal to help me.  Im located in VA!!! 

Hi Countrygirl,

I'd love to find a penpal for a little motivation myself :-).  I am 29 (quickly approaching 30) and I would like to lose my last 50 pounds.  I've lost 180 through gastric bypass and I've kept it off, but I'd really love to lose all of the weight.  Let me know if you are interested in chatting!  Have a great evening...

 Hi Jennifer,

I am definitely looking for some help.  I have always wanted to have gastric bypass but can't afford it.  I am looking to lose at least 60 pounds.  I don't have any help from anyone around me.  My husband likes me the way I am but I want to lose it for my health.  I mean I am 23 going on 24 years old with a 2 year old daughter and weight 240 lbs.  I need HELP!!!!

Hi Kimberly,

I completely understand.  When I had gastric bypass I was over 400 pounds.  I was the one that everyone said "you have such a pretty face"... but they never left it at that...lol.  I am down to 240 as well, but my goal weight is 190 (I'm 6'2" tall...tiny I'll never be ;-).  The rest of my weight loss will be up to me.  I've started by eliminating the snacking (I'm a snacking freak!)  Mostly healthy stuff...but the calories add up.  There's only so many 100 calorie packs you can eat before it adds up to a cheeseburger...ya know!  Here is my e-mail address:  [email protected].  Maybe we can encourage each other!  Have a great evening :-)
