Don't be embarrassed. It took me a long time to work up the courage to share (which I just did yesterday/today as you will see). One of the things I like about this site is that no one will laugh or make fun of you. At least not from what I've seen so far. It's been drilled in to me that I'm fat and ugly so it takes a lot…

I'm 5'2" and my highest weight was 207 last June (as far as I can tell). I started going to the gym and dropped to about 197-198 then finally joined MFP in March 2012. I'm now about 188 1/4, so just shy of 20 lbs., and my current goal is 150 lbs. though in reality it should be 125 or even less. But I set it at 150 because…

Oh, this brings back memories. Years ago, my mother and I were dieting and we'd make this a lot. Haven't had it in years. I'll have to make it again sometime.

Honestly, I would love for people to call me any one of these. I don't mind as long as it's done with nice intentions and not condescending, etc. I love nicknames and answer to quite a few, including Ness, Van, V, Storyteller, Story, and Teller (haha), and Vanilla. :smile:

Yeah, I don't know why I waited so long either. :smile:

I'm 45 and new to the site. :smile:

Thank you, Rebecca!
