Ht. 5'5", Today: 200 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 140 lb - FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO NEED ENCOURGEMENT STRENGTH AND MOTIVATION...Whatever you do don't lose weight for the wrong reasons.i am about 200 hundred pound and i'm 5'5 and i'm going on a diet to lose 50-60 pounds. But i'm doing it for me and for my health. Don't lose it to get a guy or a girl. You will still be you when you lose weight you'll be in a smaller body. and if people can't see how good you are with a few extra pounds they're not worth it and can't see how good of a person you are without the extra pounds.i'm going on a low carb low cal diet. and my boyfriend told me that i was beautiful just the way i am and he's happy with my at my size because of the kind of person i am. so it's obvious i'm not doing it for him. i'm doing it for me for my health and for my future. if you're a beatiful person on the inside that's all you need. that special someone will find their way to you.
