Default Need to lose weight for interviews
I am soon to graduate, will have interviews in April. Weight discrimination is alive and well for women. The weight must go.

So. I am low fat and low gluten. Only 'hidden' sugar as well. So tomato sauce with some sugar is fine but no chocolate.

Hi Samantha!
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

Hi Samantha. I completely agree with you about discrimination due to issues such as weight. Although my main reason for my wanting to lose weight are for health reasons as is probably for everyone, the prospect of being discriminated whenever I do start working in the new future is another reason.

Red face new an needing help!!
Hello everyone I am new to this an I am in desperate need of loosing weight. I am unhappy with myself an as i laid in bed tonight not being able to sleep I was thinking of something that i may need to do. first think that came to my mind was 3fatchick.com an then in my mind i wonder about some ways to loose wait while i search on my phone for diets i came across the master cleanse an the 3 day diet with the grapefruit an toast an yada yada!! So I am desperate need of support from anyone an everyone on this because it is so hard for me to stick with something long enough to see changes. What i wanna do first is the cleanse an that will last about 7 days an i want to keep a log an at the end of it make a blog. after this i will eat health for 7 days log it an blog. then i will take on the 3 day diet log it an so on an so forth. I will also need other diets as i go, but after the 3 day diet i will continue to eat healthy again until i find something new or to go back on the 3 day diet after 1 week. i have about 45lbs i would like to loose but i know its not gonna come off fast an i am gonna run into some walls here but with everyone's help i think i can do it. so everyone's ideas an support would be awesome please. I am not really sure of what im doing so if someone could just take me under there wing i would appreciate it..lol!

What you say is so true Samantha. Unfortunately this kind of discrimination expands to way too many aspects of life. At least it's something that can be changed with effort! Good luck!

Samantha, you are absolutely right, good for you (even though you know it's unfair). I don't know if you have a formal diet "plan" established but your plan sounds compatible with the South Beach Diet, you may find some camaraderie and recipes in our forum here.

How much weight do you feel you need to lose by April?

I agree that the discrimination is there, more so for women I think. I work in a primarily male field, it has been hard to get taken seriously.

Welcome and good luck.
