Thanks a lot for all of the helpful words everyone!!! even a little bit of motivation goes a long way, and i am ready to make the change in my life...heres to doing it together!

another thing that bothers me is that when i try to walk or run for exercise, my legs start to kill me... i get almost like a burning sensation and tightness in my calves... i'll walk or run until i cant anymore then i have to stop... the pain get so serious sometimes that i need to grit my teeth... this is disheartening…

Thanks so much everyone!!! it really means a lot

Thank You so much! It really means a lot for someone to support me in my goal... I respect every service man/woman for what they do, the sacrifices they make physically, mentally, and on the home front. I decided I wanted to be part of this...part of something bigger than myself Since I decided I needed to drop weight, it…

Im short too, Im 5'5" and I'm really heavy, I'm 227 now, and back in high school when i played football i was 200 and i looked a ton thinner, I remember gaining just 10 lbs and it made me balloon up, Imagine now lol... so i do know the pain of being short and gaining weight and how much it is amplified

Add me :) Ive just re-started using MFP and need all the motivation i can get, as well as i love trying to motivate others so they can reach their goals!

Im 20, add me if you like!

Thank You!!!

I did literally the exact same thing you did...i stopped using this app a couple months back and gained weight...now I'm back on here, and am trying my hardest... my problem has always been motivation...so when i know people trying to lose weight i like to motivate them as much as i can! best of luck
