Hi Everyone! I was introduced to this group from a newsletter. I am glad that I registered on the site.
I am 27 years old single female. I have always been overweight. I am 5'2 and weigh 180.
Six months ago, I thought I had found my life partner. Everything was going great with the relationship so I thought. He told me he didn't care that I was overweight. He told me h loved me for who I was not the size. Two weeks ago, he showed up at my house and dumped me because of my weight.
I really feel insecure of my looks and personality now. I am wanting to lose weight for myself physically and mentally.
I started a local gym in Nashville. This is my first gym so I am excited about this new experience. I can go on and on talking about things right now.
I haven't really read any posts as of yet and will do so this weekend. I hope Everyone has a great weekend!

Hi ntn!
My name is Jan and our stats are identical! Only difference is I'm 53 and you're 27...same age as my daughter.
I bet we could help each other out, ya think???? I kike to cook and am tryign really ahrd to cook low cal. I walk each day 30 mins at lunch with a women older that me and about 145lbs! But she smokes (I quit 13 yrs ago) so you see we all have our crutches. For some it may be cigarettes or alcohol.... us it's food!
I could buddy up with you because I put on about 10lbs since last summer and that's not good! I'm planning a trip to Jamacia in Feb and want to look slimmer than I am now.
If you want to e-mail my my address is [email protected]
We can do it!!!!

HI ntn
I can SOOOO relate to what u wrote-my first bf cheated on me and actually had the nerve to tell me that the girl he cheated with had a way better body than me...do i need to say what that did to me? you can imagine! I went into deep lows after that and developed a horrible bad self-image perception, but i met other guys after him and I realized I'm beautiful at 5'8 175lbs.. I was 200's during my teens and I'm 25 and i'm now down to 175 it hasn't been easy and sometimes i get really frustrated, but then i remember how i was before and i tell myself "It's ok" So don't let ANY MAN make u feel down. I started loosing my weight when I joined a fitness center so stay motivated and set your goals and start working towards them-nothing in our world is impossible--u can do it
