Hi--I'm a newbie
 

Hi all!!

So I've done the whole online support group before. The problem is that before, the other participants shunned me because I wasn't "fat enough." Everyone told me that I just should be happy with my weight and since I have only ten pounds to loose, I didn't really need the online support. I am hoping that this site and the participants will be more accepting of me and all other girls. I struggle with my weight, I cry myself to sleep at night, and I don't wear shorts because I cannot stand the idea of people looking at me. I'm in this whirlpool of unhappiness too and I just really need a friend.

Thanks to anyone who read the whole post.

Welcome and good luck reaching your goal! I've only been here a couple of days, but it's already been helping! (I'm so stranger to the whirlpool of unhappiness, myself)

I don't see why anyone would shun you, 10 lbs is hard for anyone to lose regardless of what size you are.

Welcome to 3FC! :D

Well, if it makes THEM feel better, say this is the last 10 pounds of the 50 you want to take off -- maybe that'll stop them in their tracks. Seriously tho, there's a section here just for you. You'll find all the support you need. Good luck.

Welcome to 3FC =)

We've had members join needing to lose all sorts of numbers of weight. From a couple of pounds, to... well... more than a couple ;) We've even had members join who didn't want to lose -any- weight and merely wanted to improve their fitness level or to learn to eat healthier. This really is a well-rounded board that way.

There's even a section of the forums to help those who only have a little bit to lose. It's the Featherweights area, and I'm positive that you'll find it very cozy to be there.

Good luck with your goals!

Thank you everyone!! This makes me feel much better and motivated :D
