Ugghh I dread running into people I went to school with. I gained 78 lbs after highschool! Holy cow!! Literally. I've lost 20 lbs but when I look in the mirror I'm disgusted. I need to move away where noone ever knew I used to be skinny. I'm eating right & exercising for 15 weeks now. How long will it take to lose 50 lbs???? Feeling sad....

    You can do it!! It takes time to get it off the right way so that it lasts... if you lose a pound a week (usually recommended as a healthy weight) you have about a year to go. But along the way you'll be glad you started NOW as you start seeing results! =)

    You are not the only one that got fat after highschool. I was never a skinny girl. I am almost back to the size I was in high school, and my goal is to be smaller. I have run into lots of skinny girls that aren't so skinny anymore. Don't worry about it. Just know that you can get back there!

    My goal is also to be smaller than when I was in high school. =) This happens to a lot of people, like tpittlsey said.

    For my 20th reunion, I lost a LOT of weight...I looked great!

    Didnt last, though. But this time it will, although I dont plan on attending any more reunions. This year will be the 40th!

    Most of the skinny popular girls in my high school gained weight, some a little some a lot, I take a little pleasure in this as they made my life hell for 6 years because I was fat!

    I was never mean to anyone about their weight, but I did this to myself. This is so hard! I appreciate all of the encouragement!:smile:
