The "NEVER been thin/ in-shape" Club

allimax2002

This is the group I belong in as well! I'm new to the site but loving it so far. I'm 26 years old. Starting out at 248. Could not believe I've gotten up that high! Although, I've always been chubby and even at my thinnest I was a size 14. I'd like to lose about 100 lbs. Per the BMI thing that would put me in the healthy range. I'm pretty happy with me and just being me. I have a loving (chubby) family and sweet (also a little overweight) husband. What really got me started on this health kick is that the Doc told me it would be hard to me to get preggers and then if I did at my weight it would be more difficult to carry the baby to term. Well, I wanna baby darn it! And when he or she comes (cause I'm trusting God on this one) I want be a healthy mom that will teach her kid good habits from the beginning and I want to be around a good long time for said future baby (and their babies!)

This is my club, I have always been the biggest girl in my group of friends, my mom being 130 a size 8 forever hounded me on my eating (your not eating right you need to exersize........you need you need you need) Love ya mom but sometimes that doesnt cut it. Since age 8 when the hormones kicked in I been over weight. I am hormone sensitive. (my drs cant find out what is wrong with me even after all the tests). So here I start at 200 lbs my heaviest being 230 and age of 27.

Welcome all you newcomers!

Meganne1982... You are making amazing progress since your highest weight!

When I tell people that I want to weigh 150 they look at me like I am crazy. They can't seem to picture me losing around 50 more pounds.....

You're going great! I've already lost 65+ lbs, and have 40+ ish more to go. 50 can sound like a lot, but I think a lot of people just can't see what that really will look like. Just like a lot of us here can't imagine what we'll look like when we reach our goals.

ajax03... Amazing work!! :drinker: I've adjusted your stats. You've far surpassed that lose 5% of your body weight goal!!

stang_girl88... You are also moving along! Keep it going!

allimax2002... Great motivation! Best of luck on this journey, and with starting a family!

mericksmom... Dealing with doctors can be such a pain. Mine thought I was on drugs because I was having symptoms that were related to food sensitivities... Have you tried seeing a naturopathic doctor?

Steph_135

Here are the charts for this week!! A big congrats go to: 90poundsoflard, ajax03, Redruthie, Steph_135 for reaching that 5% body weight loss!! :bigsmile:

Have a great week ladies! Make good decisions

Total loss 31 lbs -- current weight 231

Qarol

Oh yea, this is me. I've been chubby ever since I started puberty. My heaviest was last summer at 236. I'm not quite yet under 200, but I'm close! And then I never want my weight to start with a "2" again! My goal weight is 160. I came close once a few years ago. I got down to 170, so I'm pretty sure I can be happy at 160. As long as I'm in a "normal" weight range, I'll be happy. I've always been in the overweight or obese ranges.

Steph_135

Thanks for the updates! Remember, we're pushing for that 5% body weight loss! If anyone else wants their current weights to be on the chart tomorrow, please post them today. :happy:

90poundsoflard

Down one pound this week. I didn't lose any last week, and I'm trying to decide why not. I started eating back my exercise calories - so that might be a big part of it. I've also started running and doing yard work (heavy-duty yard work LOL) so that might be part of it also. I ate Chinese food on Wednesday, and my eyelids were so puffy the next day, it looked like I had been crying LOL. I drank 21 glasses of water yesterday (yes, you read that right!) and today I only have the bags under my eyes, but I'm sure that's part of the reason I didn't lose much. I know I have a problem with sodium, and I cook most of my food without salt, but my friends use lots in their cooking - so I can't always avoid it. I'm losing inches, though, so I'm not discouraged.

traceyann1214

I can't even read all these posts there are so many! I have struggled with my weight my entire life, have always been the fat friend and really just want to be comfortable in my skin. I also don't want to always have to readjust myself for pictures!! I just joined MFP and was doing WW before. I've lost 20 lbs so far but nothing since I joined MFP. Here's to our future 'skinny' selves!!

Highest weight: 240
SW: 235
CW: 215
Goal: 160

Oh and my name is Tracey!

LittleMissPeacock

Can i join in please?

I weighed 10st (140lb) at the age of 10 and it crept up and up (15st at 15 etc...) Currently at 259.25 and desperate to get back down to that elusive 140 again! My highest weight was 265, same as my starting weight!
Live in the UK with my adorable 5 yr old son. Looking forward to getting to know you all x

Where do I sign up? My mother was told I was over weight at 3 months old. No joking she has my baby medical book to prove it. Now I am just eating healthier, making better choices, and SLOWLY very slowly losing weight. I exercise at the Y with a trainer 3 times a week and also exercise on my own. I am stronger but frustrated I am not losing faster. I drink at least 64 oz of water a day. My goal is to get below 170 I think. The weight charts say I should weigh no more than 145 for my height. Yeah right! I would look like a starvation victim at that weight. My skinny weight was 155 and people asked if I was ill!

maureenB7

Thanks! And great job everyone!

LittleMissPeacock

joip

I would love to join in. My height is just 4'9. so even when I out on 5 lbs, it looks like 20. Even when i used to wiegh near my desired weight, I was never ever skinny or even thin. I was always teased as being short and fat since school days. 146

My hevaiest weight was: 154 lbs
Current weight: 146lbs
goal weight: 115 lbs (My ideal weight is 105, but I would be very happy if I can just reach 115.

traceyann1214

I am down 2.8 lbs this week!!!

90poundsoflard

I stayed the same this week.

liyahxoxo

omg can i join???
I also was overweight for my whole life. I don't think I even remember myself thin. My mom says I started gaining weight around the first couple of grades in school (grade 1 or 2).. which makes sense because I remember that was the time I started finding comfort in eating.
stats: im 22, 5' 7
heaviest= 199 lbs, the point where I freaked out and started looking for real change and end the yoyo dieting and emotional eating
I lost 9 lbs , it took me a LONG time though... the I joined this amazing site and lost 6 lbs more, so..
current weight = 184 lbs
and goal weight = 120 lbs.

janetlove

This club fits me to a tee!! I've never been thin!

lovinmamaxo

I want to join as well since i've never been thin except in my childhood years... at 14 i weighed 225 lbs. My mom was also big and got the gastric bypass. I am trying to do this without surgery and could use all the support. My weight got it's highest ever about 2.5 weeks ago... i nearly fainted.. now i am putting a stop to this forever. I also suffer from hypothyroidism which can mess with your metabolism but i've been using that excuse for too long to reason with why i cannot lose weight when i am now proof i can lose weight.

SW - 3/2011 - 401 YIKESSSS
CW - 4/2011 - 382.8
GW - 200 lbs for NOW at least...

I've lost 18lbs so far...
