in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

Let me first introduce myself. I'm a 22 year old male, named Vincent. As you all can see my nickname is VincentVe91. I'm really desperate to lose some weight.

All my life I've been 'chubby'. I can't count how often people have laughed with my body. Needless to say I have a very negative body image and I lack any faith in myself. I'm tall, 6ft2 and I weigh at this moment 217 pounds. I have that ugly 'pear shaped' body, fat *kitten* and legs.

I am still studying and I have to tell you I'm not eating very healthy. In fact I eat a lot of take-away and I don't sport that often. These last months I have even developped stretch marks on my thighs and 'love handles'. I hate them, yet I still keep eating unhealthy and I keep munching away too many calories..

As I've said, I don't have a supportive family or gang of friends. That's why my previous attemps at losing weight all failed. I do know how to eat right and I know I need to work out more often, but I lack the motivation and necessary support.

I want to lose weight. I do, I want to have faith in myself and feel great, I want it sooo badly: I want to change my life. That's why I would LOVE your support. I would appreciate it if as many guys as possible would add me as a friend so you guys can follow my progress and I can stay motivated by the support you're giving me. Please oh please, help my dream come true.

PS: Sorry for language mistakes; I'm no native English speaker.
