Chunky monkey needing to shed a few pounds.

Hello everyone!

So, something embarrassing happened this week. My boyfriend called me a "chunky monkey". Don't condemn him, he did not mean to offend me, but I think he is under the impression that I am comfortable with my body and he meant it as a term of affection. Even so, I do not want my boyfriend (who is tall, fit and athletic) to think of me as a "chunky monkey". So I checked out my BMI and it's 36.2. Not good!! I am 5 feet, 2 inches and 198 pounds. I am starting with a small goal of 8 pounds weight loss, and will hopefully go from there. I will need help and motivation and I enjoy talking to anyone and everyone so please add me and we can support each other.

Sassy :)

    Wecome, Sassy! I think it is important to set small goals, meet them, and then set new ones and repeat, so I think you are off to a good start! I'm 5'2 and still have a long way to go, but I am seeing great results from being on MFP. Good luck to you! Anyone is always welcome to add me for support.

    Welcome to mfp! I've found that often, men say a lot of stupid things that they don't realize! Feel free to add me!
