Hi all! I "bumped" into this site while reading up on shin splints this morning and thought this forum might be the right place for me! I am from South Africa and have been struggling to lose weight since the birth of my 3rd son 4years ago. I am hoping with the stories of success I will be motivated to keep trying! Great to know i'm not alone in this struggle! I am currently at an all-time high of 89kg - a good 25kg overweight. Anyone looking for a buddy that's in this for the long haul - I'm happy to be that person! I quit smoking 3 months ago which didn't help my attempt at weightloss but I think I am over that hurdle and can now focus on slimming down! Anyone want to join me in my efforts?
A new start - I Hope!

I hope that you find a buddy at a similar project stage.
I found that the best way to make friends was to start a diary and see who visited. Then visit them back. Also to visit other people in their diaries and leave a comment.
Joining challenges and clubs worked really well too. I made some very good friends this way.
In my experience the more you put into the forum - the more you get out. I feel that I have been through an amazing journey here - and have often commented with friends here that the joint experience means that we have often felt closer and "more understood" than by friends in our daily lives.
Good luck with your project.
