Chasing that skinny dream

Hi everyone!

While I don't necessarily desire a skinny or stick-thin body, I would give my child-bearing hips to have a flat stomach lol. I'm going on holiday next month, and I'd like to wear a swimsuit without having to duck behind a towel or a palm tree to hide my bulges ;)

My long-term hopes are for a healthier lifestyle, and I'm looking forward to meeting some amazing people on here who will hopefully encourage me to get there.

    Hi there,

    I've sent you a friend request. Hopefully we can inspire each other to meet our weight goals. Although I think I'll need a miracle to meet mine in just under 5 weeks ;)

    Ho.

    I'm also hoping to have a flat stomach some day. I've been struggling with my weight for years ever since I had my brain tumour operation when I was 8 years old. I am now determine to try and lose the weight. Looking forward to meet people who have the same goals so we can support and motivate each other!

    Hi Ina,

    I am sorry to hear about your tumour when you were a child. I imagine you are a much stronger person for going through such a difficult time in your life. I'm sure we will be able to motivate each other in getting a flat tummy.

    Thanks Bookfiend! I have lived with it for the last 19 years and i definitely have grown stronger. I am glad there are people here who can help motivate me and also we can support each other. It's hard because a lot of my friends are all skinny and when we go out to eat they usually say "it's ok...just treat yourself" and I always end up overeating. Hopefully we can all reach our goal!
