Feeling rediculous

Samstover

So I decided 10 days ago that I was nearing my "fat" weight (145) when I weighed in at 141 and immediately joined mfp. Now I know that I'm not technically fat. I have some fat yes but really its just an unhealthy weight. I'm nearing the high end of my healthy BMI at 140. With a dad who has diabetes and is obese (wow thats weird to say) I know I need to be in shape. I just feel awful saying I need to lose weight when it's only like 15-20 pounds and theres people on here who have/need/want to lose significant amounts of weight (40+) especially when I know I don't look even remotely fat. Does anyone else have a small amount of weight to lose and feel totally rediculous but its important to you?

I want to lose 5 pounds, although I hear that I look just fine.
I gave myself a goal, and now I want to accomplish it.
Even if I do really bad on it. LOL

There are lots of supportive people on here that need to lose 10 pounds or so. Feel free to add me as a friend!

You shouldnt feel stupid.. each person on here has personal goals they want to achieve. No matter how big or small that is. This is a good website to help you achieve what you want. good luck.

That's not ridiculous at all.

What would be ridiculous is if you let it waited until you have twice that much to lose! :bigsmile:

I know exactly what you mean... That's why I decided to join MFP... I'm at a normal weight and have been for years and years but when I put on 15lbs (and was still at a healthy weight) I decided I didn't want to keep going down that route and I wanted to get back down to my former weight. I felt silly at first and my family hasn't been super supportive but I feel healthy and proud of myself now!
