EmilyMikulec 21 Posted March 2, 2014 I would also be interested in getting intouch with you ladies. I am 29 I am married have two kiddos 5 and 4. I live in Chicago. I have 100 pounds to loose. I just got the lap band last Thursday I am going to give this my all. I want to lose the weight to be healthier! I'm so young and I have so much to look forward to. I am disappointed in my self that I gave up. But I realized that I could change that I didn't have to be limited on the things I could do like fitting in a seat or going to an amusement park with my family and not worrying if ill fit in the seats and deal with the embarrassment that I cause not only myself but my family too. I need someone to be there for me that is going through the same thing I am because no matter how supportive my family can be they don't really understand what I'm going through. I promise ill be super supportive, active and always there for you. Send me a message if you are interested. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shelly2221 126 Posted March 3, 2014 It's an app. I think we need to add each other by phone number. It works better for me because I'm living in Israel. It's free for all of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
