Hi everyone. My name is Mary and I am tired of being fat. I am 5'3", 220lbs (already lost 4). This place is awesome..So motivational..I think it will be just what I need to stay on the wagon. I always tell myself I want to lose weight, stick to it for a week or so, and then give into temptation. I think, "whats one hamburger going to hurt?" "Those fries can't be that bad"..I just can't do it anymore. My lowest weight at this height was 135..so I know what it feels like to be healthy..but starting college I just packed on the pounds, and now I almost hate to look in the mirror at myself because I know how fat I have become. I don't want to be skinny...I just want to be healthier.

I hope I get a chance to meet everyone!! This site rocks.

Welcome to the group!

Welcome Mary!

Thanks ladies. It's so nice to see people making actual progress with their dieting. Makes me realize it isn't impossible as I ty to make it seem.

Welcome Mary!

everyone here is wonderful and supportive.

AND I HAVE FAITH THAT IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PUT THE WORK INTO IT YOU WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT!!!

Aww thanks for the encouragement. I feel like I am really dedicated this time. I have to control my urges, rather than let them control me! I don't want to see myself 100 McNugget Meals down the rode..I would probably weigh a ton more.

I know what you mean...after starting college i gained a lot of weight too. eating dorm food, fast food and junk food when cramming and pulling all nighters. i just joined this site about a week ago and i can tell you i love it. whenever you need support just let us know we are here to help! if you ever need to talk just pm me.
