I am SO FAT!

I'm starting today. If you ladies can stand it, I'm going to post my progress as I go.

Thanks for reading...and good luck to you all.

Oh, good luck! There was a point where I gained 30 lbs in college, and I felt so bad about myself. I needed new clothes but didn't want to admit to myself that I was actually a plus-size. I NEVER thought I would lose the weight. But, a year and a half ago I lost it and more, and it feels wonderful. You can do it; you just really need to focus and it will take giving up some of the foods you love (temporarily, of course). I wish you luck, and if you ever need to vent about how hard dieting is, I'm here.

Annie....

Welcome...we're here to support you. I know just how you feel. About 4 years ago I was 170 lbs & then was in my bro's wedding & they picked out these slim, satin bm's dresses & that forced me to get my as$ in gear. I started walking & joined WW (online) & I really followed it to a T (during the week). On weekends, I allowed myself to cheat a bit & I ended up losing 30lbs in about 6-7 months.

But here we are 4 years later & I'm past that 170lb mark & started WW about 2 weeks ago. I lost 5lbs so far...

Anyway (sorry for rambling)...you can do it & kudos for admitting it & wanting to start.

Annie...there are a lot of us in the same boat. I gained 20 lbs. since the wedding, 30 since I met DH...I joined WW last week and lost 4 lbs. the first week. I allow myself one day to use up all my extra points and then stick to it like crazy. BTW, like you I was an exercise chick...and gave it all up. Started running last week and plan to stick with it this time. I am signing up for races in a month just to give me incentive.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

I'm just so upset with myself... I'm so embarrassed by the weight I've gained that I never want to see anyone. I have a lot of parties and graduations coming up in the next few weeks but have nothing to wear and am so humiliated for everyone to see how fat I am. Does anyone else ever feel like this? Its embarrassing to even admit it Its just, I've always been in good shape and I can just hear the whispers --- wow, she's put on some weight

I was in denial for a while, thinking I wasn't as heavy as I was. I only lost the weight at first because I had a health scare with diabetes and didn't ever want to worry again (my mom has juvenile diabetes). But looking back at the pics, I really was heavy, and should have realized it sooner. So its good if you realize that you want to lose weight. It just means that you'll really stick to your diet and get back into shape. And when you do lose the weight, you'll just feel so much better.

post whenever you want!! yesterday i posted to make the 06 girls motivate me to go to the gym!! and it worked!!

I gained 20 lbs when fh and i met (i also quit smoking) and have lost most of it- just trying to tone up and lose the last 5 lbs(uggghh!)

Anyway- YOU CAN DO IT!! Just remember noone is perfecct, and it takes time!!

GOOD LUCK
