Heellloooo...... I'm very new to this site and i'm looking for new friends to help me lose weight. I decided it was time for CHANGE a month ago and I'm already down 13 lbs woohoo. I'm 5'3 and currently weigh 241 lbs. I know that is really unhealthy for me to carry such weight and I feel it in my back and feet. My goal is to get to a size 12- 14 soon since i've been an 18 since I was 12! I'm taking this one day at a time and would like to have someone to encourage me in the process. I'm the only plus size in my circle, it would be great to know i'm not alone. So join me!

i love torrids TOO EXPENSIVE0

At my largest I was an 18-20 and smallest a size 6 and they were loose. Now I am about a 12 and finally broke through the food addiction part and am looking at this as a lifestyle and not a diet. I try and focus more on health than weight and make decisions on what to eat looking at the bigger picture instead of in the moment. It's a step by step process. I have to eat healthy, watch my calories and exercise regularly to look and FEEL like I want. Once I accepted that with no more excuses it's actually been a lot easier to manage. Welcome!0

Hi....I am not plus sized any longer but i have been there and i can relate to being in the size 20. When i started trying to lose weight 14 months ago i weighed 200 lbs ( maybe a bit more but that was what the scale said the day i started). Anyway, i have lost 80 lbs and you can too!
Use the tools that mfp gives you to log every thing you eat. Stay consistent and dedicated to your weight loss goal and make sure yo exercise several times a week. If you are the heaviest one in your circle you will have to make some tough choices when you hang out or go out to eat etc. It is all possable if you want it bad enough.
Your body will thank you for it with every single pound you lose , i guarentee it!!! I am now wearing a size 6 and i havent worn that size in over 25 years. So i truly know where you are coming from.
Congrats on the loss you have made already!! You can totally do this beautiful!!!0 -
i love torrids TOO EXPENSIVE
Yes! I love torrids too, but you're right - they are way too expensive.

I was going to say the same thing lol! and Torrids charges an arm and a leg for their clothes. I can't deal with that even Lane Bryant0 -

Right now I would like to get to 200 lbs. I didn't want to say a 100 because I don't diet well. I start and stop and will pick back up again. This time I figured I'd take it one step at a time and when I hit my mark, make another goal.What are everyone's goals like?0 -
Hello, I'm somewhere in the 26/28 range. I'm VERY aware of how clothes shopping can be a nightmare! I'm fairly new to the site. So if you'd like to add me feel free!0

I would love to be your friend! I started out as a size 32 women and now I'm into 20s. I'm dying to get into 18s! I do all my clothes shopping at thrift stores and yard sales because I'm dropping a size or two every month and can't possibly afford new clothes. I've gotten so that I like the used clothing so much I don't think I'll EVER buy too much new stuff again. LOL. My goal is to get back to the size I was when I graduated high school in 1974 - about 160 pounds, size 10/12. Next year is my 40 year class reunion and I plan on wearing my high school varsity jacket to the event! 0

Make small goals like 10 lbs at a time. it wont seem so overwhelming. Thats how i did it. I figured 50 lbs sounded like alot but then said to myself.....well i can lose 1 lb fifty times. Food is a huge part of it.....the biggest part of it....you cant out exercise bad nutrition0 -

I've already added some of you. :flowerforyou: Anyone else is free to add me as long as they write something.
I'm 255 lbs. and probably a size 20 (I avoid those tags like the plague). I'm hoping to one day be under 160 lbs. and by then I should be a 10. Last time I was 197 and a solid 12.0 -
