Hey everyone...I just wanted to congratulate all of you who have lost the weight and want to encourage those who r tryin to keep at it...And i've noticed on this board that alot of ppl are writin and saying that they wanna lose weight bc all their friends are all skinny or their family members keep making fun of them. I just wanted to say that if you dont wanna lose weight for the right reasons i.e to be healthy, fit etc...you losing weight will never be easy...I mean your heart has to be in it, you'll only wanna lose weight for others thus in turn satisfying others instead of yourself. I wanted to lose weight for all the wrong reasons, and it never worked. But when I decided that i wanted to lose weight cause i wanted to be healthier i saw pounds fallin off. So far ive lost 40lbs since Oct. and I did this with the FIRM and eating properly...to conclude make sure ur heart wants to lose weight...:)

Please help me I really want to lose weight but I just keep being told to stop being silly and people try to make me feel better by saying "your not fat" and I know that I am. What makes it worse is that I cant wear all the clothes that I want to and I am afraid that my fitness is dropping.
