    Hi My Name is Mary, just started on here thinking that maybe if I put it on here it would help me keep better track and maybe motivate me to do something about it. I never really started gaining weight that much until after I had kids and have had various health problems and now no matter what I try the weight either increases or I dont lose anything, so frustrating! Hope everyone is doing good out there. :)

    Hi! My name is Kim, I started 5 days ago. I just feel so unhappy with myself and I am afraid to tell anyone. I am married with an 8 year old daughter and I can't even talk to them about it :( I think I am finally ready to make a change, I just invested in the Treadclimber and I ordered the bodymedia. Maybe having new friends that are having the same issues will make this easier, I hope :wink: Thanks for reading, add me if you want.

    I weight myself everyday nude before I take my shower. I feel that I can see tone in a few places, and I definitely notice when I've lost or gained about 2 lbs depending on how defined the pouch of fat on my belly looks before I step on. I have had amazing results with my legs, but I fear that I've messed that up for the past two days. I ...ate...way too much. And I'm kind've hating myself for it now.

    I'm new as well and have only been here a few days. I'm finding just tracking the horrible stuff I eat really helps a lot. The more you 'account' for what you consume the scarier it is to me, since I can actually 'see' how much junk I'm scarfing down...! I guess it's all about personal accountability, and hey it seems to work, there's a lot of success stories here.

    Hi Kelly, Im new here too. while I am not in any position to talk about being fat I have put on what I feel is a lot of weight for my height (or lack there of). Im 5 ft and have gained 13lbs since July. I dont care so much about being the skinny girl as fitting into my regular clothes and feeling like myself again. I think if you work at it you wont have to be "skinny" but just lose enough weight to be healthy and happy at the same time. Ill try and motivate you and you can do the same for me! I made my skinny photo my profile pic to motivate myself.

    I've heard it many times, if you skip meals your body holds on to the fat to protect from starvation. Also breakfast is very important.
    Love Scotland, my sil is from the Hebrides, I'm from Ireland.

    I'm never up in time for breakfast - sometimes I do eat toast if I'm up and hungry but normally just pass breakfast and lunch:L
