Anyone in San Jose/Bay Area, California

[MichelleA 9]

Hi Im Michelle,

Im still trying to figure the website. I was curious if there is anyone in the Bay Area that would be interested in being support buddies. Im just starting my journey and need to lose weight before the scheduling of the date, I just would like to have someone to touch base with and possibly someone going thru and has been thru the same. I struggle with food as we all do. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi Michelle, my name is Karen.

I am wondering if you have found anyone to be your support buddy? I also have to lose some weight before I can get a date for surgery. I've been trying for about 6 months. But I've been on a roller coaster. Well if you still need a buddy please let me know. We can talk if you'd like. Thanks Karen.

Hi Karen, how are you? I'm still in the lose before they make a date. I believe I need somewhere between 13 and 15 lbs to lose. How long have you been on the program. Would love to keep in touch. Talk to you later.

That's great! Well this is my third time being in the program. First 2 times I chickened out. I was scared to have all the excess skin, and others I knew gained all their weight back. This time I have a grandson I would love to do more things with and want to be around longer with him. so I'm having trouble with my WL because I've gone through a lot and have trouble with the stress eating. my daughter's father had decided to leave after 23 yrs, and I made a poor choice on quiting a job I loved. Due to some issues. So I've been working on the depression issues. To get my WL back on track I had been 15 lbs away of getting a date but gained it back. So I'm starting again with the wl. I do have a sister that has done the sleeve but she really doesn't say much of anything to me except oh you'll feel a lot better after you get your surgery. Doesn't really seem to want to help. So I am just trying to reach out and talk with others that are doing good. and try to get some of what works for them. How they stay with it. I know I want a healthier lifestyle for me. I just need to take time for myself. and not worry about everyone else. Well sorry for rambling on. It's felt good to have been able to talk to someone else and hear they are doing good on their journey. So keep up the good work and hit your first goal for a date. And please let me know when you find it out. Would love to hear about your progress. To inspire me to do the same.

Thanks again

Karen
