Hi all, my name is tdothunny or you can call me Amanda. I'm 25 yrs old, from Toronto Canada. I have embarked on my lifestyle change after doing months of inner reflection, and realizing my jeans were too tight! So I am totally commited to this, but I am going at it alone and I need some support...

I started back at the gym 2 months ago and have started seeing results. Yay! Right now, I have a mini goal of 30 pounds which I am determined to reach by Sept. 1st. Anyways, I look forward to getting to know everyone. ttyl

Hello to one and all. My name is NeverBinThin. I've been searching for an answer or solution to this major problem. I am petrified to be small. I lost 52 pounds using Medifast, and all I wanted to do was hide. You know how some dogs hide when they get a haircut--that's like me. Well, I didn't hide for long, I gained back my weight, so I could hide in my fat. When I got the guts to lose weight again, I lost 38 lbs, and got noticed by someone other than my husband! That scared the you know what out of me!!! This last time I lost 26 pounds and all kinds of people started noticing.

I hate this! I don't want people noticing. I hate the attention to my physical body. If I could be heavy and healthy, it would be heaven! I can't handle comments from people--especially men.

I was in WW for this last weight loss, and I tried to open up in group. But I was humiliated; no one else understood. They were obviously uncomfortable with me even talking about such a problem, and they looked at me as if I had two heads.

I'm scared that I'll get to the point of not wanting to lose at all--I've lost less and less before the fear gets to me and I sabotage. And I really do need to lose ya'll--I'm 5'2'' and 222 lbs.

Does anyone have any advice, books, essays, persons, etc. that I can get some help from?
