Hi everyone I'm new here, and I'm looking for support. For the past ten years of my life I have struggled trying to loose weight... somedays it feels like I'll go uphill for the rest fo my life without descending. I'm 20 going on 21 and I attend college, but I don't live there yet. Not until August. But to make a long story short, all of my friends are not over weight at all, but they tell me they are. So I tried asking them for support, but all they do is complain and really don't give tips about what works and doesn't. So it makes it a little harder for me to go to them for support. So here I am, I've been putting this off for a while now... but tonight I decided would be a good night. I'm doing weight watchers at home for the 4th time... and everytime I do it, it works! I don't understand why I stop. Exercise is almost none existant... well I should say me going to the gym is almost non existant. Where I go to school I do a lot of walking, but my doctor tells me that is not enough. So I guess I'm here looking for people who will help me along my "Lifestyle Change" that will email back and forth and we can share what works and doesn't work... so please HELP!

Support buddy????? What's that. I haven't heard of that, so obviously I don't have one either... maybe one of the applicants to the original mail would like to be mine? I have a vague idea of what it is, but I am always open for more information.

A support buddy is just someone you stay in contact with and support throughout your weight loss journey,

I haven't read any replies yet but I just want to congratulate you on walking. Even if your doctor says its not enough, don't get discourage. I am very challenged when it comes to exercise and everyone would say I don't get enough exercise, but I try my best. And when I attempt to do it "according to the book" I end up crashing and burning. So what if I only walk 15 minutes a day instead of the recommended 30? So what if I can only get 2 sessions a week? It is a start and it is consistent.

Please don't get overwhelmed with all the "should's". Do what is doable for you and increase that when you can. The important thing is not to get discouraged and not to stop what you're doing.

Welcome aboard!!
