Battle of the BULGE!
So, I am new on here. I'm a 19/F whos 5'7 and currently 165 pounds, down from 170 and looking for a weight loss buddy. I want to be 129 again. I don't even remember being that weight :( One day I was 120, the next day I was 155, and then up to 170. Where did the time go? I want to be ready for swim-suit season! I need to lose weight because most of my family is severely obese and that puts me at high-risk. Well anyway.... STORY TIME: There is this carnival at the end of July in my hometown. I am away at college right now and I will not see a certain group of people until then. A portion of this certain group always made fun of me and treated me with absolutely no respect. It got so bad, that I changed schools. Now that I have emotionally healed through medication and regular visits to the psychologist, I am finally ready to change on the outside. I want to do this for me and I want to show the ones that brought me down, that they will not impact my life anymore. If I can make a significant dent in my goal, I would be so happy. It sounds sappy, I know, but I just want to be able to take a picture without having to angle my face a certain way.... lol :) I want to be able to stop wearing 5 layers of clothing in order to conceal my belly. (OCPD... isn't it great?) I want my stomach to be smaller than my hips, gotta love those "love handles". I want my body to represent who I feel inside. I think with enough determination, the right eating plan and lots of excercise, that it is possible. So, who's with me in fighting their war with fat? :)

hey.. I'm looking for a buddy too, and think we would be a good match. I am trying to lose about 10-20 lbs.. but mostly just tone up and get in shape. What you said at the end of your post about wanting your body to reflect who you are inside made a lot of sense. A few years ago I lost 65 lbs or so, and am still owrking on the emotional issues. I know I really need help with day to day stuff, and accountability. Being young, it's so easy to get caught up in going out, and junk food =) Maybe want to email back and forth, motivate each other?

Hello Rehr,
Girl you're speaking to me! I'm in the same boat, I mean I use to be 140 wearing a size 8 on my Graduation Day. But couple years down the road I'm in my Second year about to go to my Third year of College and I"m wearing a size 12 I only buy stretch because its the most comfortable I have so many stretch jeans I have about 6 pair of stretch jeans. But Rehr I'll eb your Buddy because I"m looking for one all you have to do is email me or pm me I'll answer either one. Oh I'm so happy that I'm finding a buddy well I have one from www.diettalk.com but you know she's not always on so I have to have an alternate partner. Let me give you both a website that I think you will find really helpful, www.DonnaRichardson.com she is a Fitness Guru and her Workout Video is called Sweating in the Spirit I'm sure you're going to love its up tempo and really envigorating Take Care |
