My name is Tamara I am 46 years old and have been over weight almost all of my life. My goal is to loose 95 lbs. I hate shopping for clothes and would love to turn that around so that one day I will enjoy shopping for clothes. I have been told to my face that I am fat and ugly. I dont want to be that any more I want to be healthy and pretty. I eat just to be eating, when I am watching tv, when I am sad and lonely, or just board, it doesnt matter if I am hungry. I was told about this site last weekend, told my sister and now we both use it everyday. I have lost 2.8 lbs and only have 92.2 more to go.

Can use all the encouragement I can get and will be happy to give back.

Thanks

    Congratulations on the 2.8lbs lost! You can definitely reach your goal. You just need to stay motivated

    I'm not sure if you know of this website (skinnytaste.com) They have delicious recipes for meals and snacks that are low in calories

    Keep up the great work!

    Welcome! And know you are not alone. I have 75 pounds to lose myself. I'm going to send you a friend request and I hope you accept. I've already made some great friends here who are absolutely wonderful. Perhaps they'll help as well.

    And at the risk of sounding like a jerk, if a person looks at you in the face and calls you fat and ugly, *YOU ARE NOT* the one with the issues! They're doing it because of their own low self-esteem and need to feel superior. I don't know who they were (and it really doesn't matter) but until you take care of you, forget 'em.

    TamaraSR,

    I will also be sending you a friend request. I need to lose about 60 pounds and I'd like to have some to encourage and receive encouragement from.
