    **Raises hand*** YES! This is me - feel free to add me!!
    Sad thing is that no matter how much weight I lost, my boobs stayed the same size. That is where the weight is....haha!

    Count yourself lucky my friend! the smaller I get the smaller they get - I think if I get to my goal weight, *poof*! They will disappear.

    I'm almost 25, and have never been skinny. All my friends are skinny minnies, and it has always made me feel rubbish. I have never been happy with myself, and I have decided that enough is enough. I have done all the diets, and have been joined to this for some time now, but never stuck with it. But this year is the year for change. I have been sticking to this religiously and have so far lost 4lbs. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who's felt like this and there is support out there

    Keep at it ladies!

    Yeah that's me! *sigh* i will never be 'skinny' - it's just the way i'm built (chest and hips aren't going anywhere unfortunately!).

    But when i bought 3 pairs of size 16 (UK) jeans from the internet the other day, tried them on when they arrived, and they didn't fit, i knew i had to do something - as i've never been more than a size 16.

    So instead of returning them and getting a bigger size i'm just gonna try and lose some podge instead and get down to around a size 12. Because that's where i'm most comfortable!

    Only been doing this two days and it's becomming an obsession. Which is excellent!

    I wish all of you ladies well! whatever you goals :) Feel free to add me if you like :)

    Yup, this is me. Got misdiagnosed with an illness at a very young age, was put on steroids and I ballooned. I had no confidence, as a teen ate too much, etc etc.

    Hated wearing shorts, swimming costumes etc. Now I am thinner and could do it, I have extra skin and sag, so hate exposing myself. Happy with my face though :)

    P.S. I don't ever want to be skinny, just fit and healthy and happy with my shape. I do not aspire to be skinny and don't think that should be a goal for a confident person.

    Sounds exactly like me. I'm 23 and I started gaining weight around 11 or 12 and even before that I always felt chunky and out of place. I have no idea what it feels like to feel like I'm the same size as my friends.

    Hi All! I started this last summer, epically failed, but started religiously new years day. I'm looking for the young ladies out there who have never been skinny. Never been able to stop eating carbs and sweets, never worn a bikini, and were self conscious. I'm 19, always been over weight, and want to get a support system going for these said people. Who knows what Im talking about?

    How about those of us a bit older than you? I'm in my mid 30s, and have never worn a bikini, or been skinny. Well, perhaps some would call me that now, but with a BMI of 23 I sure don't feel "skinny". "Normal" yes, "skinny" no. I'm 2 and a half years into this lifestyle change (from a BMI of ~38), and prior to starting this, I've always felt fat since I was about 8 years old, even though I probably wasn't technically overweight when I was 8.

    from 8 years old to 21 years that was me

    I then lost A LOT of weight very quickly and had an underweight category BMI. because I did it too quick I gained it all back in about 6 months which was really tough. I started again and have since made my insecurites that much worse and really struggle with balance, health and food now.

    It is possible, just don't let it become you. I think it's easier when you've never had that before to value it too much. life matters more than weight.

    But with commitment you will get there and it's a great feeling. Work hard and cherish mini goals and mini non scale related victories that you never dreamt would be part of your life.

    YES. When I was younger (5-13) I was a gymnast so I always had chunky CHUNKY legs, my thighs were huge (and even worse now)! I was quite wide built haha and medium weight (but I wasnt that big!!), I then had a growth spurt and couldn't do gymnastics anymore and I was so sad leaving all my 5ft 90lbs friends.
    Thats when it started, the comfort eating, the baking cakes and eating them all myself, the chips the pizza the chocolate just everything bad to make me feel 'better' about myself and the lack of exercise (i used to do 8 hours at least a week) meant I gained and I mean gained, by the age of 18, four and a half stone. The only reason I didnt gain a load more was I was a religious yoyo/fad dieter and stuck in a rut. UNTIL NOW! Haven't wore a leotard never mind bikini in five years, would love to be able to. Damn high school/work stresses and hormones and everything else!! So motivated now, apart from one bad day since new years I have been EMMACULATE and intend to keep it that way haha:)

    Story of my life!

    Even at my lowest and "healthy" I was still big. But I want to know what skinny feels like! That is my mission, to be strong and slim (not simply skinny).

    Anyone feel free to add me. The more friends the merrier!
