Alone?

Okay people. I keep seeing all these people with their SW and GW on their signatures. Every one that I've seen is like half of my weight. Do other people not put their weight because they feel super self conscience about it too? Where are the other people that don't have only 10-15 lbs to lose? Are you out there??

    You are definitely not alone, I do only need to lose about 20 more lbs but I sure didn't start out that way. Work hard and be honest with yourself and before you know it , you'll only have that 15lbs left too!

    No need to be embarrassed or self conscious. This website is here to help people lose weight, so no need to be embarrassed about what you weigh now or how much you need to lose. You'll find a wide range of people on this site.. from those needing to lose a hundred (or more) pounds to those trying to lose those last 10 or 15 vanity pounds to those who are learning to maintaining and even those who are trying to GAIN weight.

    Wide range of people - so everyone is welcome! Don't be embarrassed. :)

    You are definitely not alone. I need to lose about 140 lbs. I don't post my weight because I just don't feel comfortable doing so. To each their own.

    I have to lose about 200 pounds. I know some people who do their goal in ten or twenty pound increments, so it shows that on their ticker.

    Started with over 100 to lose. You're SO not alone. I felt self conscious about my weight when I started here too, but have long since realized that while there is judgement here about MANY things, what you weigh today, what you weighed when you started and how much weight you have to lose are not among them.

    This is 100% correct, people have to remember that people on this site.. are here to lose weight, they see the same thing you see when they look in the mirror. So judgements about weight are VERY VERY VERY few and far between, also, you are making the proper steps to correcting whatever weight issue you think / have. noone can take that away from you!

    I'm here, I'm here! Present & accounted for! :tongue: I need to lose about 141 more pounds after already having lost about 47!!! :bigsmile: It is indeed hard & you are not alone. There are a lot of us out there, but it is true that most don't post their weight, let alone their starting weight!

    Feel free to add me! :flowerforyou:
