in Introduce Yourself
I'm Jessica and I joined here after a few message board moms told me about this place. I've hit a point in my weight gain that I can't do it anymore. I'm not my usual fun self and feel embarrassed to even go out. My weight has cause my depression to get worse and worse. I'm a short person (5ft barely) so while 171lbs may not be that bad on some, on me, I carry it very poorly. I am obese, and that's a hard thing to come to terms with, but its the truth. Im on break from college for the summer, I graduate with medical assistant degree may 2011. I'd like to be down to 130 by then. My ultimate goal is 115 though, I have not been there since high school, I don't even know if I can reach that, but I will try.

I need support though. I need a kick in the rear if I don't check in and all. I need a good yelling and pestering and just someone to get on me if I start to fall off. Please. I beg of my girls.
