To the OP - I'm 5'7", and need to weigh about 160-170 lbs, so I know how you feel.

My mom saw one of the ZZ Top guys at the doctor's office, but I forgot which one it was...

I would post a pic of a manatee, but I don't know how to post pics.

No problem! You look a lot like one of my friends, who was very lovely, as well. @jay - Your picture is awesome. I approve.

I'm rather picky, as well. I've found it helpful to limit my portion sizes. So far, I've lost a bit of weight doing that while still eating things I like. You need to exercise, though, or else it won't work! Believe me, I know. :cry: But I still need to eat healthier. I like carbs and sweets WAAAYYYYY too much, and I don't…

I will probably freak out and be hyper. I might even run in circles for a while. :happy: I need to lose around 160 lbs, so it will take a while, but I'm trying to look at things one day at a time~ Oh, and I'll also buy lots of cute shirts and some smaller pants! :smile: Maybe my family and I can celebrate, but I won't…

You have a nice, pretty face. I bet the camera feels lucky to take your picture. ^_^

Aww, thanks! And you have a nice smile! :)

Wow, I wish I could've seen it! I love Chobits~ I don't have pics either, but I was once a queen from the middle ages and also a knight at one point. The middle ages just interest me.

I love your dress sooo much! I wish I had one like it...

Dear 16-year-old self, Be more assertive to those bullies! Keep making those grades! ...and PUT THAT GOSHDARN HUGE BOWL OF ICE CREAM DOWN!!!!!!! You'll weigh over 300 pounds if you keep eating like that! Love, Me PS. You really do have friends. Believe in them.

Yes, my picture is me in all of my huge-headed glory. :laugh:

I like your hair~! And your skin is so pretty.

I was 333 pounds once a few months ago, but I've lost 13+ pounds since. Oh, I hated it when I went over 300 pounds! I can't wait to get back in the 200s!

My name is a combination of one of my favorite game characters (Nami from "Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life") and the title of another favorite game character (the Obsidian General Duessel from "Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones"). ...Yes, I like video games WAY too much... I do other things, though, I promise! :sad:

My belly is WAY too big, and I have a double chin, so I really want to slim down both my gut and my face/chin/neck area. Oh, and my legs are sorta chunky, too.

Haha, that's neat.

I hate going to the gym... I especially feel awkward when there are a bunch of skinny or muscular people there... :sad: Try to be proud of who you are, and don't let the ignoramuses bring you down~ :heart:

I didn't mean to be a smartass, but I can see how I sounded like one. Sorry! :blushing:

Okay, I'll message you ASAP!

That's terrible! He didn't deserve a woman like you!

Hello, Abi, I have the direct opposite problem than you have, but I would be glad to be of any help that I can be. :smile:

Hey there! I'd be glad to be your friend... I need to lose well over 100 pounds, so I understand where you're coming from. By the way... I've been on here less than a day and I'm already impressed with how kind people have been to me.

You all are very sweet... Thank you. I will make an appointment for as soon as I can. I will be thinking of all of your kindness and support. That will help me stay strong.

I am female and 21 years old. I come from Texas, where the weather is crazy as heck. You can add me if you want~

I like how my eyes look, and how my hair is naturally curly. People always say that they want hair like mine. :smile:

I have been overweight since I was eight years old, and I remember this kid in 5th grade who said, "I'd be your friend if you weren't so ugly and fat!" It may not seem all that bad now, but, being a 10-year-old girl, that was one of the most horrible things anyone could've said to me. Also, my sister and dad…

Yeah, I have to lose 160 lbs... :( EDIT: You can add me, if you want~
