in Introduce Yourself
OK-- I finally am to the point where i realize I must lose weight! I am only 5'2 and weighed in at 210 yesterday! I went shopping and had to go up two sizes. I am too the point that I am not comfortable wearing anything but sweat pants. I am not happy looking in the mirror under any circumstance and I almost feel embaressed leaving the house with my husband to go to a party. It is weird.

I've been considered overweight all my life. But i sure don't mind curves. but 210lbs is too many curves for me, I would be happy at 160 or even 170 at this point. I just want to feel better.

Honestly, I want to lose this weight before my husband and I decide to have kids. I want to be healthy while I am pregnant and honestly, I know this sounds horrible, but I want to be a "cute pregnant lady". ..... I am venting I think. but it feels good and is the truth. :ohwell:

If anyone wants to talk, PM me. Again I am 24 yrs old weighing in at about 210. I live in MD.

    Welcome Girl !

    You know you have already won half the battle by talking this decision and the day you start loosing you will start getting closer to your goals. Don't over expect from your body, it took 24 years to reach at 210 give it atleast a year to getting used to 160 ~ 170 :)

    Moreover many many people like me are all here to support you and back you up when you get weak :)

    Cheers !
    Good Luck !

    I'm not comfortable in clothing at all. When I'm out I can't wait to come home and get undressed. lol

    That's very smart to lose weight before you get pregnant.
