Hi everyone, I'm new with 30 pounds to lose and I need some support to stay motivated (or even start for that matter). I've had 30 pounds to lose now for about 20 years and can't seem to persist in my efforts. I'm looking for some pen pals who will accompany me on this journey. I'm particularly interested in hearing success stories, how people feel while the weight is coming off, how they stayed motivated, any tips you would have. Thanks.

Hi Jiggie and welcome!
If you need support, you definitely came to the right place. Everyone here is very helpful. I got my motivation from coming here to Diettalk. There all different areas to go to to get support--read posts and post. They are very helpful. There is also a challenge team that you can sign up - two teams compete to lose the most weight--its all for fun. This is where I got my motivation. Check out the posts! There are journals you can check out too. Good luck! If you want to email me, you can,

HAVE A GOOD AND HEALTHY WEEKEND. YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT!!
