Been overweight my entire life. Constantly told I'm fat by friends and sometimes by strangers. I don't have any pictures of me anywhere because i'm to embarrassed of my self. Really want to reach my goal weight so maybe i can start feel better about myself. Add me if you want motivation or support or just a friend.

    Hi, I have been overweight all my life also, been on every diet and now I need to lose 100 but being embarrassed is not doing you any good, try doing positive affirmation to you self every day saying I approve of my self and love my self. Send away those negative statements you are here now and doing something about it. Take your photo of your self and keep it hidden in a safe place and you start losing the weight you will be happy you did.

    Best of luck. You are beautiful in you own Spirit I know that what people say hard to hear. Amik07

    I've lost 5 stone over 5 years but only last 2 years I've become more interested in being healthy when I'm feeling unmotivated or like I'm going to fall off the wagon I'm bad for binge eating I dig out all my old pics and they remind me of how far I've came my advice would be take some pictures every few months and compare them hopefully this I'll help motivate you also :) feel free to add me

    I dropped 90 lbs, you can totally do it. I ate and drank like crazy and did nothing physical. I'm actually embarrassed only when I look at my old pictures. You can see em on here. I actually had no idea how big I'd gotten.

    IMO diet > exercise. That was really hard for me. Whenever I go to Pizza Inn (rare now) I can't help but try to get my money's worth. The secret? Don't go there! Check out the fast food menu's online and pick out what foods will fit in your calorie budget before you go. Fast food is just part of my lifestyle so that's how I handled that. Still not the healthiest way to go but you CAN eat fast food and lose weight, just have to make the right choices.

    When i was little i never ate healthy. My parent's would rather take me out to fast food restaurants than cook something and as i grown up, i continued the habits i was taught. And now i see all the mistakes i made when picking certain fast food places and how they affected me over time
