Hello!
My name is Kaci and I am an 18 year old college student. I found this site by doing searches on weight lost community forums and this one was the friendliest so I decided to join! I'm only 5"3 and weigh 213 pounds. I've known for a while that I needed to lose weight but I've recently gotten very self conscience about it and have started to get low self-esteem. I don't do things like go to the mall with my mom anymore because she's smaller than I am and that means we have to go to the "skinny" stores that have all the cute clothes that I can only dream about wearing. When I go to those stores I feel that everyone is looking at me like "What's she doing in here???" and comparing me to my mom saying "Now how is she that big and her mom is so small??" so I have just resulted to staying home. I've tried to lose weight before by just cutting back, doing crunches, walking, and working out using the Wii Fit but I don't have any motivation or friends going through my problem so I hope that I can find some here! I don't want to be super thin but just at a weight where I can feel good about myself and the way I look.
i totally feel your pain my mum weight 120lbs and doesnt even have a stretch mark after 3 children n im well VERY over weight! all my friends are real skinny to so it doesn get to u but uve just gotta work on yourself and not compare yourself to them its hard but u can do it! i was the same as u i KNEW what i had to do but was completely lacking motivation! i saw a pic of myself that horrified me n spurred me in to weight lose ive lost 10lbs and im not looking back! i look at that picture everyday and everytime my family are having a chinese or somthing to remind me y im doing this u should find something like that to! anyway good luck ull do great! xx
