I am the third of five children. All of my sisters and brothers have high metabolism and they have fabulous bodies!!! I got stuck with the left over genes. I'm am trying my best to maintain a healthy weight and get in shape. I tend to lose focus and motivation some days. All encouraging words are welcome... I am at my heaviest weight without being pregnant and I feel disgusted. So here I am with new found confidence and I'm ready to kick fats butt!!!

    I feel your pain! When I was younger I was the skinny one and my sister a lot bigger. Now roles have reversed and I'm way too overweight and my sister is probably skinnier than I was at my lowest weight :( feel free to add me, I am at the start of a long weight loss journey!

    I let myself go after moving in with my bf last year. I was size 6 and called 'hottie'...then I did something stupid. I knew he liked bigger women (bare with me, this is how my insane brain works) and allowed myself to get to about a size 12-14 now just because I thought he would 'approve'. Now *I* disapprove and he says he loves me no matter what size I am. It's sweet and I'm lucky, I know...but I want the old me back; or as close to it as I can get. I feel horrible and don't think I look good at all anymore. I've killed my self esteem and need some help getting it back. Feel free to friend me...I can use all the support I can get and I'll be sure to do the same for you.

    Oh hun, cut yourself some slack! Eat clean and don't do too much while your body is healing. Two weeks is so new still. Savor the time with your tiny one, take easy walks and eat healthy. If you're breastfeeding, watch the junk food you might crave :) congrats

    I understand the gene pool. Oldest out of 8 and I always have been the cubby one. Now here is they plan. Can you go in this journey with me? I have lost 40 lbs since December and want to get about that much more. I eat cleaner and workout a lot. At first I couldn't hardly get going now I dare anyone to stop me. We can do this and one day we can be the healthy one in the family :) my sister may be smaller but I don't smoke or live off junk food. I want this badly. If you do lets go. Add me as a friend. I will keep you motivated I have not missed a day on here for 94 days now.

    Awwww!!! Sweet!! Sorry so late in replying back... I didn't get the notification. I am willing to go above and beyond to lose the weight. I didn't know I had gotten this big.

    Congrats on new baby. You can wait a while before you start to losing weight because of baby. After the first 3 get back out there. It's hard after the first year lol. I'm here (even tho we are on the same journey). Add me
