Hi everyone...okay first off, im not really dyin' i just feel that way.

I'm 20 years old and I've hit rock bottom. None of my family or friends (the few I have), know the pain i deal with EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE! its not just emotional from being unhappy with my body and the way my life is going, but the 242 is actually starting to effect me physically (just pains, aching, and shortness of breath), doctors say the same thing "lose weight". what i need from you guys is some help and support. this is my last chance. i'll be twenty-one in may and im starting to think that i will always be fat and never live out the dreams and goals i've set for myself...you all are my last hope. i just need motivation...i have all the resources in front of me but i need that extra umph, accountability, and support to help me through. maybe im just being a wimp...its hard to say it, but its true. this is my last hope.

if there any one out there willin to help me reach my goal weight, and more specifically to lose 20 pounds by my birthday (may 16) please let me know. im crying as i write this because i feel so hopeless.

all im askin for is someone to check on me each day...hold me accountable for my food intake and exercise...and to just read my messages when im having a bad day...and to tell me everything's gonna be alright. is that alot to ask? i am also MORE THAN WILLING...in fact, i look forward to doing the same and being that kind of support system for ANYONE who needs it. if anyone can find it in them to help me PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

thank yo all for reading my long, sapy message and CONGRATULATIONS and GOOD LUCK to all of you who have and are still reaching your goals....you guys look FANTASTIC!

by the way....i can't wait to see that little fishy start moving to the right!

I would LOVE to be your motivation buddy! I know I need the same thing! My weight is really starting to effect my health in a negative way and my new job too. I have to be quick and on my feet 9-10 hours a day and all the weght on my knees and ankles is really killing me! I'm sure with dedication and motivation you'll be able to lose the 20 by ur B-Day! my 21st is in August and I have a goal set for myself for that day too! Good Luck and I hope to hear form ya! =)

calisa86 and C Hunnie,

calisa I saw your post on another forum also.

Tell us what your plan is--we can help you fine tune it. Check in on 3fc regularly, post if you need help.

C Hunnie, I know what you mean about the knees and ankles. Be sure to get some really good shoes--they help a lot!

Good luck to you both!

I feel that-- I'm actually having infertility due to weight. I'm 26 and at my highest weight-- 287. Welll-- actually my highest was 291, but that was at the beginning of December. I've lost a couple of pounds, but now is the time to really loose some SERIOUS weight. I'd be totally happy with 100 pounds and then fine tune probably another 20.

hey, i feel the same way you do. i will be happy to check on you when i can. i need someone to check on me aswell n to hold me accountable because i know from past xperience i fail because theres no one there to support me. all my family are normal weight so i really feel out of place and disgusting around them. n with summer coming up i really want to loose the weight so i can enjoy summer for once.
