Hey there-
I'm Jessica and new to this board. I am 25 with a 4 year old little girl and a boyfriend of about 7 months. I currently weigh more that I ever have in my life and hate myself more than I ever have. No one knows my weight because I am so ashamed. I need some help. I need someone who is willing to help me on this voyage (I am also willing to help) and help hold me accountable. I really need someone to poke me and say "should you really be eating that pudding? REALLY?". I need more than just the board because I am not held as directly responsible. I need someone who is willing to correspond with me daily or every other day...Im not really sure how this works. But what I do know is that I need help, and that is not easy for this only child turned single mom to say, as I am used to doing everything myself. This is my health, now. I can't imagine living this way.
Oh, and I graduate college in May and I want to look fierce for my graduation party, AND my boyfriend and I have decided to start trying next fall for a baby. I need to drop some weight for both of those things.
Ok, so here it is. I am going to disclose my true weight. 270. Oh my god, I cant believe I just said it. Makes me a little queasy. Oh, I am about 5'11 or so as well.
Anybody feel like they need a buddy too? Im fun. I promise.
Anyway, hope to hear from you guys.
Jessica

Hello-

Hey! The good news is you're 5'11 so I can't imagine you needing to weigh less than 175! Woohoo for you! You're also starting out less than I did... I weighed 298 when I began, and I'm sure I weighed more (I lost weight after dumping my ex, I'm sure). So, you're starting otu thinner than I was, and you target weight will be more than me because you're taller. See? Smile!
Everyone will be your buddy here -- just right now they've fallen off the face of the earth into a giant cup of spiked eggnog... I don't know where they are, but it's dead and creepy in here.
Anyway, you can do it!

Hi! SussieQ here.
I think you should get 3 or 4 ladies to write you daily so that you can be asured to have at least one e-mail daily.
I would be more than happy to be your buddy. If you decide to be a buddy with me, let me know at sussiesutton@yahoo.com and I will give you another email address that I check minute by minute. I just use the yahoo as a catch all mail room.
Little about myself...I have been trying to lose weight with ivillage for 3 years now. Lost about 25 then gained it right back. Maybe having someone who is willing to write me daily will work for me. I am 53 on the outside and 30 something on the inside. I don't like to exercise but try to anyway. Need help with that.
