I have 10-15 pounds to lose and thought this looked like a good place to be. In a lot of otehr forums, I always feel critisized by people who have like 20-100 pounds to lose when all I really want to do is lose a little extra fat and tone up

Hi, I just joined, too

I'm not actually setting a number-on-the-scale goal, so like you I feel kind of out of place with people who are hardcore losing weight. I just need to eat less crap and I think my body will probably do its thing and get back to its happy weight.

Ditto!!! I feel like a major jerk when I talk about working out and dieting on forums where people are trying to lose a large amount of weight. I am aiming for like six more pounds to lose and I am pretty sure it's all on my legs!! So like you, I am trying to just tone up and lose the "fat." Also, don't ever feel like you are being criticized for being on here because you're only wanting to lose a small amount and tone up, you deserve to be here like everyone else because we are all here for the same reason, and that is to improve ourselves. In addition to that, it is a great site! There are a lot of great people on it and it keeps you motivated. Have a good night

I'm the same way. I only have about 5 more lbs to lose. I've lost about 19 so far but I still hesitate to comment on certain things when everyone else involved is trying to lose 50+ pounds... I don't really know exactly why I hesitate but I do
