Hi everyone, after lurking for about a month now, I decided to go ahead and introduce myself! I think the biggest reason for my push to lose some weight is that, I'm tired about people chastising me for trying to lose weight. I hear everything from "Why would you want to lose any weight you look good? to "You would look weird if you lost any weight" Needless to say, I love that this community doesn't pass judgment and offers helpful tips/constructive criticism!!

    I've only been lurking for about a week, but I could use some support too. Feel free to add me as a friend (that goes for anyone).

    I hear it too. It's not about how THEY see you, it's about how you see yourself. If you want to improve, then why not.
