    Hi everyone! I'm Shameka, and though I am not new to the site, this is my first time responding to a message board. I just recently decided to take the healthy lifestyle decision seriously, and I'm looking forward to being able to be a part of a motivational group. I am currently at my heaviest weight, 5'6" 300lbs. I am a size 20/22, and I am ready for a change. Recently, I have started to have the back and feet pain, and I don't want to be plagued with anything that will hender me living a long and prosperous life. Please feel free to add and encourage me, as I will try to do the same! :smile:

    Hi I am very new been trying to lose weight all my life but never had the motivation. I am currently motivated and hope that it lasts more than a week this time. I really need to get healthy for my children and myself. I am 5'3" and currently 259lbs. I love bad food that's the hard part for me. I can't stop eating because the taste is so good. I need some postive people inspiring me and motivating me to keep pushing forward.

    i love torrids TOO EXPENSIVE

    Yes! I love torrids too, but you're right - they are way too expensive. :(
    Wait for the additional fifty percent off clearance sales, they do them fairly often. And check the seams, some stuff lasts forever others fall apart right away.

    currently about 235 and the dreaded size 18!! haha!! haven't really lost a lot of weight since joining mfp, but at the start of my journey i was over 300 pounds and in a size 22 - 26 depending. In 2010, i was198 lbs and down to a stretchy size 12 and that was amazing!!! right now my first goal is to say bye to 18 FOREVER!!

    Hi everyone, my first post here!

    My stats are

    5'3.5"
    Starting weight 210
    current size 16/18 depending on what it is

    I have gained all this weight in the past 5 years going from 151 to this weight. I had a lot of stress and loss I think contributed to it and marrying someone who has really bad food habits but he is tall and thin and can eat tons and never gain an ounce.

    I was a solid size 10 and would like to be there again.

    It seems like the weight just doesn't want to come off this time. :(

    My motivation is my doctor thinking I am pre-diabetic.

    Feel free to add me.

    I am 5'4 and 204. I am currently a 14 and sometimes a 16 depending on the brand. I would love down to an 8 or 10.

    I have noticed motivation and support is the key ingredient.

    I'll add! We're the same height and just about the same weight. I started at a 20/22 but I'm in an 18 now... Ideally I want to be a 14 I guess.. I don't know if my thighs and hips will allow me to go any smaller (i love being curvy so it's okay)~ But aside from the numbers, I just want to be comfortable and happy in my own skin! Let's cheer each other on! Also congrats on your weight loss so far!

    Good for you! Just go into it that it's a mission you are on for the rest of your life. You gotta find the balance in all of it and make it something you can live with in acceptance and joy! : )

    Hi there :) Feel free to add me. Apart from when I was 10 y.o. and was a size 10, I've always been a bigger size girl (all through high school I was a Size 14 Australia) and then in the last couple of years I've graduated to Size 16 and now sitting at Size 18 and sometimes 20. I have 40kg to lose to get back to a healthy size but trying to only focus on 5kg at a time....Would love some company on this journey.

    Hi everyone, I am new to tis site as well and need friends to keep me motivated. I am 25 yrs old and 180 lbs. I started loosing weight a week ago at 184 lbs and am already down 4 lbs. I talked to my Dr. and she suggested this site. I feel like I have tried all the quick fix diet supplements such as slimfast which just leave you starving and I still gained 10 lbs on it. I am a mother of 4 and want to weigh what I weighed after having my first baby 120lbs. My goal weight is 129 because face it after having 3 more kids 129 is more realistic than 120. I was always tiny as a child and teenager and in the last 5 yrs I have gained 60 lbs! All I want is to achieve my goal and keep it off. I hate going shopping for clothes because I never find anything that looks stunning on me with all these curves. I am happy that I am required to wear scrubs to work because they hide them well so scrubs is what I wear on the weekends too.I want to wear street clothes and actually feel like I look amazing in them again. I want my self esteem back
