Hi everyone! I just started using this app and I already love it! I am currently at ny heaviest I’ve ever been. I am absolutely embarrassed, but I am willing to make the changes my body deserves. I have been on the shots (to help loose weight) they don’t work for me. I get off them and gain weight right away. So here I am, trying to loose 20lbs

    Hello Michelle. There is no reason to be embarrassed. Everyone has their own circumstances. If others judge you for it, they are people you do not need in your life. There was a time when I would have been mortified to be over 200 pounds. Now I would love to be under 200 pounds and i'm working toward that direction.

    There are a few keys to success. 1. Staying with it. 2. Making changes you can keep for life. I am sure you will find your path and there is a wealth of information and support here at fmp.

    20lbs is very achievable.
    Don't rely on magic potion shots and all that. It's the 4 D's - Dedication, Discipline, Diet and Deficit. That formula will set you in the right direction.
