I am interested...need to lose 100+ pounds

I know exactly how you feel. I can start off walking and about 10 or 15 minutes in my lower back will start hurting to the point I feel like I am gonna cry. I have told my doctor about it plenty of times and all they tell me is that I have to lose weight. I know I need to lose weight but how am I to get started if I am in…

Check out http://forum.blackhairplanet.com/index.php, I sometimes go there when I need to find solutions to hair problems. I, too, have decided to go natural and I am going to start using Pantene Co-Wash for Natural hair in the brown bottle.

I never had any side effects such as headaches from it. Soon enough they are going to say that everything is bad for us, I guess the only safe thing to do is drink plain water and even too much of that is bad.

I just read this article on Yahoo about diet sodas: http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/study-diet-soda-increases-risk-diabetes-why-still-192600358.html

I just read this article on Yahoo about diet sodas that I think is really interesting: http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/study-diet-soda-increases-risk-diabetes-why-still-192600358.html

You should do some research. I wasn't even on it for a whole year and had to get off of it. I was having bad headaches, hair was thinning, and I gained about 50 pds. I have a friend who was on it for years and she experience heavy bleeding and a possibility of bone deterioration.

I know what you mean, I have been off it for a while and is having a hard time getting rid of the weight.

I have not joined a gym but I will be soon and my motivation is for me to become healthy and being able to shop for new clothes. Also my daughter is my biggest motivation and tired of being fat.

You are right....giving up is not an option

I feel the same way

I feel the same way

I have a phobia of being around a lot of people to point where I feel like i am going to have a panic attack. Therefore I do not go to parties I am a homebody.

I have done it before and it turned out good to me. You can still put your seasonings on it. I feel that it is better that way then having to fry it.

I have so many insecurities. I do not feel comfortable going in public because I do not like the way I look. I feel like people are staring at me because of my weight. I am ready for a change so that I can feel better about going out in public.

I am working on losing in which I am hoping to lose at least 100 pounds by the end of this year. I am in need of some motivation to get me started. I have made one step by giving up drinking soda and drinking more water which is becoming harder everyday. This is going to be a long journey but I am ready for the challenge.

I am from Wilson, NC

I just updated my status saying that I was starting over. I did not have a good year 2012 and is hoping things is going to different or me 2013. I am going to be making some big changes come the New Year and I am ready.

One more thing.... I hate when I can not get motivated....okay okay I think I am through....

I hate when people stare at me like I am from a different planet. I hate when people say "oh girl, you lost some weight" when I was the same size the last time they saw me. I hate going grocery shopping because everything is so freaking high!!! I HATE THE SCALE!!!!...lol I go on and on with what I hate but I do not want to…

Hardly anything, its bout time to go grocery shopping again.

I use to donate blood, since being diagnose with high blood pressure I can not do it anymore.

Any store that sells smaller size and that I can afford.

This is going to be weird... the feature love most about myself is my hair....because right now I am not happy with the way I look. Until I start seeing some progress with my weight I will be happy.

I am fat because..... -I am an emotional eater -Can't resist certain food -Got the Depo Shot which made me gain weight -Do not excercise like I should

I do not have a hard time making friends, I haven't made any new friends lately because I do not go anywhere.

For the past couple of days it been in the 100's and I am in Wilson, NC.

Well, I am more of a jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers type of girl. I just want to be comfortable. I do not have many clothes right now because I do not want to buy new clothes and when I lose the weight and not be able to wear them.
