Quote From: brittanysI am looking for an email or instant messanger buddy to help me get motivated to lose weight. I am 19 living in Maine with my husband, and my 6 month old daughter. I weigh about 300 lbs, last time i looked at a scale a few months ago. I have been gaining weight since giving birth, i think i used having a baby as an excuse to let go of all my goals and allowing myself to gain weight. If anyone would like to be a buddy, please let me know! I am on the computer quite frequently and would like someone who is also. Thanks!

Brittany,
Hi my name is Erica, after my third child and a hysterectomy,plus a broken back I gained about 80 lbs shooting up to 230 lbs! I felt horrible, but I started to read Dr. Phil's books and I realized, I could loose the weight. I started to go to a work out place (curves) and lost 25 lbs right away, they say that it was a lot of water but I also lost 6% body fat! Then when I stopped loosing weight there, I started to walk more and do the elliptical machine. I was very surprised that I could do the elliptical machine with little to no pain what so ever. I didn't drink water for two years....sounds bad & I do not condone it...but I was a chronic Diet drink ....drinker! So I started to drink the water and then started to eat 6 very small meals a day plus I ate a lot of apples for desert that helped me with the hunger factor. I have lost 45 lbs but am having trouble being motivated sometimes too!
I would love to be your pen pal and help you!
Hope & Love
Erica
