    The scariest thing to me is that I put on 20 pounds over the summer without even realizing it. I just wore sundresses or skirts. In August as even the sundresses/skirts started to feel tight, it became harder to smle in the mirror or at people that said I looked nice in dress/skirt. Now it is cooler, no sundresses and I cannot fit into jeans. Only one pair of yoga pants even fit me and that is pushing it. LOL I am definitely a scary sight!

    Total weight lost: 22 lbs.

    When I got back from college, I found out that I now weigh the same as my obese roommate because she started losing weight too. I know that it's mean, but I always thought of her as big. So now I want to keep losing weight so I'm still the smaller one. Mean, but it's motivating.

    actually started really paying attention only 2 months ago and in combination with gym, myfitnesspal, and sensa - lost just over 18 lbs in less than 55 days! hoping for 20 to 25 more in the next 2 - too aggressive?

    Hi all.

    New member here, looking forward to having the support of this online community to help get me past this bump in the road.

    So my starting weight at the start of the year was 21 stone, but my starting weight on this site is 17st 7lbs.

    My current weight is also 17st 7lbs

    My goal weight by the end of October is 17 stone 2 lbs

    1/10 - 17 st 7lbs

    A scary story.

    Well, it's not that scary, but I bought myself some new clothes, as a target for weight loss. When I finally put them on for the first time, thinking I'd lost enough weight that they would fit just right, I found out they were far too baggy for me. That was £60 well spent.

    Luckily I did get my money back because the tags were on and because I lied a little
