Hi,my name is Eme and I am a 6'3" girl...I am also 232 pounds. I really want to lose a lot of weight and keep it off.My parents want me to lose weight because they are pretty well know in my town, it "embarasses them to take me anywhere because I am so fat". I also want to join the swim team next year and that's my incentive to lose weight, to look good in a bathing suit again. If anyone would like to form sort of a mutual support system though e-mail please leave a message and your e-mail address when posting a reply. Thanks--Lotsa Love,EME

Hey! I am 14 and will be 15 next month! I am about 185lbs and I am 5'6 I am sooooo tired of being fat.I want to play soccer again but I am too slow because my size slows me down. I also want to be a cheerleader but those skirts just don't look good on me and I can't jump that high also because of my size. Try-outs were actually tonight and I watched all my friends and they did great I was soo jealous I wanted to cry and I decided that I would try-out this time next year and so I have a year to get good..but I don't want to take classes untill I am skinnier. Also I would like to loose some weight before summer..so I would feel comforatable in a swimsuit..alright well my email address is mandasue2003@yahoo.com I would really like to talk to you it sounds like maybe we could help each other out. Welp thanks a lot!

If you are really that determined then I say go you! I do not think it is right for your parents to be ashamed of your apperance.
