An exhausted working mom seeking a penpal

Where do I start? Well without giving my biography and social security number here I go...lol...

I'm 35 years old and a mother of one well two if you count the husband. I've been overweight my whole life until back in 2009 I went for the lapband...big mistake...it didn't work for me, but I think it was more that I wasn't ready...now being in my mid-thirties I'm tired and I feel horrible that I can't be running around with my miracle child...my toddler...I went through heck just trying to get to where I am today...I struggled with fertility and it sure doesn't help when you are overweight...but now I need to work on me...my health...I'm aiming to live healthier and more active...I do not have friends who went through weight loss surgery so many times I just feel like no one understands...not even my husband...so friends...if you are an honest person who would like to be my pen pal...then wonderful...

Because what I really would like is to friend a pen pal or pen pals who can help motivate and encourage each other...my husband hasn't been too supportive and sure doesn't understand...I'm tired both physically and mentally...I am also tired of feeling like I failed with the lapband too...so really...I need open-minded and non-judgemental folks to reply...this is my last resort to find some like minded individuals who are looking to change themselves from the inside and out...I'm currently in the beginning stages of getting approved for the sleeve.

Good luck and blessings my friends!

Hi I'm Sandra. I'm 30 years old and I am above 300lbs. However...I have lost 45 already...and looking to lose A LOT more.

I currently live in Fresno California (about 3 hours from LA) and I am looking for buddies to work out with. I have a friend who lives in South Carolina and every day we would text message each other our work outs. Well unfortunately she had a tragic loss in her family and she no longer has the momentum. Although I am doing everything I can for her and she KNOWS I will be here for her when she's ready, I want to continue my workouts.

Because of the awesomeness that we have started...I realized via cell phone (APP, so no phone numbers are exchanged) I am able to work out with whoever wants to exercise. So that is why I'm here. I already have a group started...but its REEEEEEEEALLY SLOW. My goal is to have 2 or 3 workouts posted each day.

All of this will make more sense if you check out the link below. It is a local womens only group, but I am able to extend the WORKOUT version (vs personal in town meetups) to those far and wide. Its free, easy, and innovative so if you want to just at least check it out let me know ok! =)

PS: I'm looking for people who will actually POST workouts...vs join and never do anything :P
Its a motivational mobile group. Check it out....btw this is not spam.. !

Hi there.  I saw your post and while it's been over a month since you first wrote it, if you're still looking for a penpal I would be willing to be that little voice that motivates you.  I'm 30 years old and a mother to an amazing 4 year old little girl.  My husband and I have been together since I was 17 (minus the 1 year when I left......long story, lol) and I currently live in Austin.  I noticed you live in San Antonio.  My parents live there and I'm there at least once a month.  I had the RNY in 2011 and lost 101 lbs, however I've gained 39 lbs of it back.  I'm back on track and ready to lose the 39 lbs again.  It would be great to motivate each other.  I've found that when you have a pal to rely and depend on you seem to do better.

TGIF!
