in Introduce Yourself
So I'm new and trying this. I've heard great things about the app and website. I have never been skinny in my life and don't know what it is like for the other side. I want to be able to shop in any store and find something that looks good and fits. It's awful that there aren't more stores that cater to big girls that aren't for 50+ year olds. So anyway, hello!

    I've never been small either, smaller than I am now, certainly but not "small." Agree wholeheartedly about the shops! Feel free to add me :)

    Good luck to you. I have "met" some really great people on this site and find motivation and support when I don't have it in myself. Even when I "fall off the wagon" and return, they welcome me back with open arms. I hope you have the same experience and cam reach your goals. :smile:

    Welcome! Stay on this site and you'll know all too soon. Whats even better than shopping at regular stores, is the ability to find great clothes at THRIFT stores where there are usually smaller sizes. I got a pair of Guess jeans at the thrift store with the tags on for $2.00!

    I just started in Jan. This is a great site and for the first time ever I feel like I can achieve my goal and get healthy and lose weight. I'm so with you on the shopping thing. I'm looking forward to when I can just walk in and buy straight off the rack without even trying on.

    Feel free to add me if you want.

    This website is a lifesaver. Keep with it and stay accountable and you'll get to your goal weight!! I went from a size 14/16 (187lbs) to now a 5/7(133lbs). Best of luck to you. I hope you get where you want to be!

    Honey, trust me, the 50 year olds don't like those clothes either! Welcome! This is a good place to hang out!

    Good luck. Success on this website relies on honesty - to yourself. You have to want to do it properly and own what you eat and how you exercise. If you can master that, and it can be difficult, it can be an awesome place to be. I'm 20 pounds down in 2 months. It does work. Good luck (Invest in a set of digital kitchen scales if you don't already have any. They help enormously)

    welcome!!! Stay active & dedicated and you can do this. I have gone from a size 18 to a size 10 so it can be done!! I have not been a size 10 since junior high. I was a size 16 when I met my husband so he has never seen me this small. Good luck to you in your journey.

    You know what...before joining this site I was never small in my life either. But as I've lost, I found a small person inside. People tell me all the time how small and petite I am and I just smile inside because those are not words I associate with my self :) Feel free to add me :)
