    I need to lose 100 to be at my ideal weight. I don't even understand how I could let myself go so bad to have to lose 100. I've tried using this site, but I end up getting so obsessed with the counting that I worry about everything I eat. I stay stressed counting, but if I don't, I gain weight. I wish there was a way to make it fun. I'm starting with the food first, and then I'm gonna add the exercise next week. I feel like if I just jump into a full diet and exercise program, I'll just become frustrated and quit again.

    My mom lost 100 pounds taking pills and doing nothing else. She didn't exercise at all. She walks around making fun of fat people and telling people that all you need to do is just exercise, when she cheated her way through. About 10 years ago, she lost 85 pounds through exercise and diet, but gained all of it back plus more before she started using pills. But she pretends like the pills don't exist and just tells me that working out is the key. There is nothing more discouraging that someone who took a shortcut to lose weight, telling you that you need to do this and that.

    I really want to do things right and I just get frustrated because I feel hungry a lot but I know that if I eat, I'll be single and lonely and the "fat girl" out of my friends forever. I'm already starting to develop bad habits like not eating the full1200. My mom brags about eating maybe 500, so then I feel like a pig if I'm technically eating double what she eats. I'm pretty sure at this point that my mom is anorexic, but on the other hand, she doesn't have to answer to anything being extremely skinny while I am constantly scrutinized for being big.

    I just...truly don't feel happy right now. I know that day by day I'm slowly losing weight, but I feel the frustration coming already. I have horrible social anxiety and my aunt wants me to go the gym with her. She doesn't understand that I just can't go around all of those people. It's truly not because I'm lazy. I can workout fine at home. I'm just scared to death of the stares and the laughing. I feel trapped in this body. All I want to do now is just sleep the hunger pains away. I really need friends. My mom is not helping at all, and my aunt is a fad diet queen, so I don't want to talk to her about anything.

    Sorry for the rant, but I'm trying anything right now to keep my mind off eating.

    I need to lose about 140 lbs. but, am starting with a smaller, more managable goal of 100 lbs. LOL. There is no getting around that this is a tough road we walk... but, I am willing to give you a hand to help you when you stumble and am hoping for friends who will help me. Anyone out there who wants a friend, please feel free to friend me.

    I'm in. For me, if I break it down to five pound increments, it works better than looking at the total pounds. I try to get the next 5 off. Soon I realize I've lost more than I thought.
