in Introduce Yourself
Hello all, I have been overweight my whole life but never to this extreme. My weight spiraled out of control when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and 3 years later I lost her. I gained 6 dress sizes..and Now I'm barely squeezing into Lane Bryant clothing..it's scary..about 100lbs was added to my 5"0 figure. I wasn't thin before just thick I was happy with myself and Now thats another story..I have lost 34 lbs so far and I hope to loose another 50 this year if possible more..I would love to meet people here and gain knowledge from everyone.. Have a wonderful day guys :) can't wait to meet interesting people here!! <3

    hey there!
    Welcome to MFP, Ive only been here for a bit but im in the same boat as you...Ive been a 'bigger' girl my entire life, but in the last couple of years its gotten to be OUT OF CONTROL. I have about 100 pounds to lose and im just taking one day at a time because thinking about losing that much right now is a bit discouraging...I can be some support for you too if you like? feel free to add me!
    Good luck on your journey and be proud of yourself because your already taking the begining steps to a whole new you and thats incredible! :happy: :drinker:

    you're absolutely right! It is scary to tell myself I need to loose more than 100 pounds, I like to go in segments and i rather tell myself that I need to loose 10 pounds it seems like an reachable goal.

    First) I am sorry for your loss. Losing a parent at a young age is always hard (lost my mother at 21.)

    Second) Feel free to add me. I have to lose over 100 pounds and would be happy to offer support :)
