Don't ever let your weight get you down. I weigh 289 lbs at 5'7" and I'm happy with it. Some people like their fat. I mean I don't love beig fat but I don't let it ruin my life. If you want to loose weight then you can but always remember when ever you feel unhappy because you think your fat there are people who are bigger than you and want to get bigger. Keep smilin :), Becky
