I'm 23 Years old and 240 pounds, and 5'2. I've been on this journey on and off for awhile but I always have trouble staying motivated so hopefully this app will help me. Yesterday one of my "friends" made a comment saying I should be fat Amy(from the movie pitch perfect) for Halloween. I've been so bothered by that, and now I really want to lose this weight so at least by next year all of this weight can be gone. I need friends on a similar journey to help along the way

I'm sorry someone said that to you. That's extremely hurtful. You could join my challenge if you would like. My challenge is to try to lose 10 lbs by Halloween. Not sure if this is something you would be interested but nevertheless you can add me as a friend and I will help with encouraging you on your journey!0

Thank you so much! I will add you!0 -
Wow...with friends like that, who needs enemies?
I've found this app to be very helpful; good luck to you!0 -

What a crappy thing to say. I hope it didn't get you too down, people like that aren't worth wasting energy on IMO. Feel free to add me, I'm happy to do what little I can to help you with your journey. I have found the community aspect of this website/app super helpful with mine.0

Thank you so much, I appreciate the support!

First off, ditch the "friend"! Then, do you for you. Slow and steady wins the race, but if you commit and use the app everyday for every bite, you'll be shocked at how successful you'll be. I highly recommend the getting started posts--tons of useful information.
Good luck!0 -
You can lose 10lbs by the end of October! Don't give up even when you feel like nothing is working this is a marathon not a sprint. I need to remind my self of that ALL the time! Hang in there!0

As hurtful as that comment was, I think that might have been the push that I need to finally get serious about losing the weight

A couple years ago, one of my best friends suggested that she be Honey Boo Boo and I be Mama June for halloween. She's 5 feet tall and maybe 115 pounds. I'm 5'10 and, at the time, I weighed close to 300 pounds. I was extremely offended, but eventually forgave her... AFTER I gave her a piece of my mind, of course.
You CAN do this! This app is fantastic; stick with it and you'll be where you want to be in no time. Also, let your "friend's" rude suggestion fuel you, not bother you.
I think you look like Selena Gomez, btw... maybe you should be her for Halloween!0 -
That was so cruel that somebody said that. I had this abuse in my early days of dieting, but you know what that was my incentive to get fit and I did. So far I have lost 46kg, those people who were cruel now want to chat to me, I told them to F..K off. So you have come to the right place, get a good group of friends behind you. Hey your journey has begun, good luck )0

I am very sorry someone you consider a friend said something hurtful. MFP is a great tool. Make some pals to keep you focused. You got this!
You are gorgeous by the way, much prettier than any of the girls in that movie franchise in my honest opinion.

Wishing you lots of luck, sometimes it's hard when other people make thoughtless comments but think of it this way you are trying to lose the weight and change that thing that's bad about you, and this time next year you won't be anything like "fat amy" but your friend will still be a *kitten*0

Yeah he tends to speak before he thinks. Eventually once I've lost a good amount of weight I'll be so good he won't have anything negative to say0
