    Same here. I'm 20. I've always been a little overweight but the last two years have been bad. Looking forward to starting 2013 a better year. But I need motivation bad, It's really hard to get to the gym some days.

    Always think to yourself that it could be worse, but it also can be better and it will be if you change your eating/exercise habits.

    Im 23 and I started at 189, and only 5'1. I hated myself, but I could just never get the drive to do something about it. My goal is 135ish, I have a ways to go, but I completely understand about the whole confidence thing! You're 21, best time is to start now! Seriously! I'm only 23 but wish I had started this years ago! You got this, mfp is a great support group :) sending a friend request your way, anyone else feel free to add!

    Cant go to the store and buy a can of non-alcoholic self confidence. Confidence can only be acquire through accomplishment....so go kick a big boy in the butt! LOL

    I was at 225 just last October. I'm only now at 221. I havnt been working too hard the last few months to loose weight but since the past october I've been down to 213 but I've only gained it back. I think it will help to have MyFitnessPal friends who are in the same situation as me.

    I am 26 and have had zero confidence for years. I finally realised that I deserved better from myself - that I was worth the effort to lose weight and get healthy. I have lost 11 pounds so far but have a long way to go! I already feel so much better though and find that I want to make healthier choices.

    Zumba really helped me a lot. It forces me to act silly and to have fun when I was way too serious before. Still a work in progress though! I wrote about it a little on my blog here.

    I am finally getting into all the girly stuff too and started a group on here called Operation Prettify Me just to get myself (and others hopefully) excited and feeling beautiful. We can get there! x

    I'm in the same boat. I'm 22 and also at my biggest (285, YIKES!) I have really let myself go knowing that I have someone who doesn't care about my weight, but I gave my head a BIG SHAKE and decided that I need to get healthy for MYSELF. I'm ready to do this and am looking for some friends on here to help me stay motivated!

    I'm 23. My highest weight was actually 230, but I lost around 80 lbs after having my son. I've gained a few of those lbs back and I'm trying to remember how I lost them to begin with...it would really help if I had support! We can do this!
