Hi everyone
I'm Tanya. I've been on MFP while but never introduced myself or was active on the boards. I've usually lied about my weight and not let anyone see photo's of me in order to hide to others (and more importantly, myself) that i have a real weight issue. So this is me, coming out! Facing my issue and also declaring it to the world. This is me now.
I'm 5ft 7 and a whopping 220lbs. I hope to lose between 60-80lbs.
Hopefully soon i will be posting new pics of me.....with much less of me!

Good for you. I find that it's so freeing to just own your weight. But girl you dont even look 220. You're proportioned well and have a really nice shape and curves. Good luck to you on your journey to become fit. You can do this!0

Thankyou so much, that is so nice of you. I was actually really embarassed about the first pic because you can see how big my belly is but admitting it is the first step to seeing I have w problem and fixing it. Thanks again

I can't believe you're 220! You look great. I was 220 after my 2nd baby and looked like a whale.
I'm sure you will lose those lbs and look even more amazing!0 -
Good luck with your goals!

It's difficult to explain why I decided to post this, but for example I don't have facebook because I won't post photo's of myself anywhere (and people wouldn't inevitably ask for them). I usually get palpitations when thinking that people may have taken a photo of me when I'm out etc and I thought about it and realised the reason why is because seeing myself in a photo is seeing my size in reality. I do not look like I do in photo's in my head. In my head I'm still the same size I was a few years ago, and the rare photos I do
Show to people are face only and never full body shots. So this is my way of admitting to the world I am very overweight.....and to myself. Realising and accepting it I feel will give me the motivation to stop eating muffins when I visualise what I actually look like in reality. As I said hard to understand without knowing me but that's it in a nutshell.

So, I don't think you need to lose any weight. I think you look gorgeous how you are. I look more like a potato so you are lucky to show off your curves!0

You are stunning and are going to be a knockout when you get to your goal weight!0

Log everything in MFP and stick to your diet. You can reach your goal.0

Hi! I just started on here and I weigh 220 also. I'm only 5'5" though, so look fatter than you. You look great to me. I am trying to lose 80 pounds also. Id love some support as I have none in my "real life".0
