    So. I'm 20 years old, and I've been on a bumpy weight loss ride. my highest was 178, my lowest was 148, and im currently 156-160.
    My major issue is my mothers remarks...if i eat something she doesnt agree with, she'll start pointing out how my clothes are fitting and how small I used to be, and how im 'lazy' now....and she says it's to help me, but shes not seeing the effects it has on me.
    I'm still currently struggling with an eating disorder as well, which she has no clue about, so it's been taking it's toll lately.

    So, Fitness Pal people..anyone out there willing to be my buddy and motivational partner?

    I'd like to add, you look beautiful in you picture.. :smile:

    I used to get comments like that from my mother as well....fortunately, now that my family has seen the effort I am making and what I am accomplishing, they are much more supportive and the comments are turning towards the more positive side. It is hard, I know....but it just gets to a point, when you have to decide you will do it for you and that will be what ultimate drives you. When I started this "me" journey I had to step back and for once say this IS all about me and I'm not going to worry about anyone else for awhile.

    Sending you a request. I'm older than you are, but we have similar goals and I too have a naysayer that's pretty close to me. Mine is my mother in-law though. She's great at backhanded compliments, my favorite is, "Yes. You can tell you've lost weight. Your face is less bloated."

    Awesome. =)

    I'm sending you a friend request. I have people in my life that also try to bring me down. They are most likely just unhappy with themselves. I am here to support you and do this with you. I am 178 and looking to be 135. I just started but I'm here for you.

    *ALSO ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADD ME FEEL FREE:) I'm always looking for support and people to lose weight with.

    Feel free to add me too if your still looking for support? You will get through this and you will reach your goals! You have already made friends who will support here and I assume elsewhere so ignore those things your mother says and listen to those who will help you.

    Feel free to add me if you're still looking for support.

    My advice - keep logging your food and the weight will come off.
