I have finally faced my weight. I have been overweight since I was in 2nd Grade. I remember in school getting teased...and having the boys walk around me and taunt me saying "whoa....earthquake" among other things. I have NEVER been comfortable with myself...I dont know how that feels. To this day it still bothers me..BUT...I have finally chosen to change things. I am going to take this Journey and lose this weight. I am 24 and currently weigh 259 pounds. I joined the Metabolic Research Center a week ago and have lost 7 pounds!! I want to lose 106 pounds. Im hoping I can meet some ppl to keep me motivated and to which I can do the same. I believe the support you have while in this journey is a big help. If you are looking for a buddy...add me! Good Luck to everyone in their journeys!

welcome dedge! and congrats on embarking on a new healthy lifestlye!

I'm 26 and have been overweight since first grade so I can totally relate!

Good job on losing the 7 lbs that's a great start! Just think you've lost a bag of sugar plus 2 more pounds! and your not carrying that weight around with you all day any more! great job!

You will find there are good people here.
on losing the weight. Keep it up.

Thank you guys! How do i get my weight trackers like that on my stuff?

Hello everyone! I have gained a few pounds in that last few months, while recovering from surgery (went from 112 to 118). I'm now able to be active again and am looking for inspiration and support! I gained 50 lbs while pregnant with my son and 60 lbs while pregnant with my daughter so I know what "BIG" feels like . . . I was able to lose it all each time, so for that I'm thankful. It's so great to find a forum where everyone is helpful, supportive and encouraging! I hope that we all reach our goals

Hey Dedge and Liberty, good luck

I'm new to this site too! I'm 26 years old and have been pregnant for almost 3 years straight. I went from 128lbs to 200lbs. I want to loose it all. I'm hoping this site will help keep me motivated, because there are days when I'm so tired (I have a 2 year old and 3 month old) I don't want to exercise or do anything. Right now I weigh 171lbs, and I'm hoping this weight loss journey continues to be a success for me!

There is a lot of support here! You can do it!!! You owe it to your kiddos!
