3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - Finally admitting that I need support

After years of trying to do this by myself, I'm finally coming out of the lurker shadows and admitting that I'm going to need support to do this.

So, back story. I thought that I had been trying to lose weight since high school, but one of my best friends recently reminded me that she had seen motivational post-its on my bathroom mirror in middle school. I was plump for a while (159 on a 5'3" frame) and then after getting my first belly stretch mark in college I felt like I should just give up as my flat belly had been my pride and joy. gah, that sounds silly to write, but it is true. So, 198 now, and needing to lose weight for both my physical health, as I left my comfortable zone at 160 and my mental health, as it has kept me depressed and my self-esteem is hurting my relationship.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you all around the forums. =)
