Hi! I'm 5'5, I weigh 175.4 lbs, and I have no clue what'd I'd look like thin. I've been fat for so long I'd like to know what it's like to look in the mirror and like what I see. I'm here for anyone that wants/needs motivation and I hope you motivate me too!

    The sad part is that I have a knack for making sweets. I've made cheesecake a couple of times and they were soooo good.

    I'm 5'1 and 191 lbs. I've never been this weight before and it disgusts me. I'm having a hard time losing weight since having my last child. Feel free to add me! I need motivation to keep going.

    Alright first lets start with how long we've been like this and what we want to do once we're thin.

    I have been overweight ever since I was little. It's been a long time since I've even been under 150 lbs. I want to know what it'd look and feel like to be thin and healthy.

    Hi. I'm 5'5 around 230. Trying to get serious about making a lifestyle change and losing 30-70lb by the end of the year (I think that's realistic). Joined MyFitnessPal to keep track of what I'm eating and for support. Feel free to add me as a friend

    How about starting off making a "Lightened" version of your favorite desserts? That way you can still eat what you love in moderation and not feel deprived

    I am 5'5" and about 205 right now. I am happiest at 160. I know that sounds heavy for some but I have a very muscular build, my father calls me his little pit bull lol. I have an almost 4 year old and my son will turn 2 in December. After my first pregnancy I lost all of the 55 lbs of pregnancy weight and got back in shape in 5 months. After the second pregnancy I did the same but it seemd like I had to work 10 times as hard to get there. Once my husband came home from deployment I got lax on my workouts and wasnt on my strict 1200 a day calorie diet but I dont feel like I ate bad food or ate too much. Within the last year I have gained 45 lbs back and I am so unhappy. I am always tired, emotional, uninterested in sex, easily agitated...just not myself. I had my hormones tested and am apparently very low on estrogen. Has anyone experienced a hormone imbalance after having children? If so, what did you do? I know I need motivation to lose this weight. Any helpful suggestions how to stay motivated?? Anyone have any experiences like me?
