I just wanted to remind you all that it's totally possible to lose the weight! It's hard and takes a lot of time & persistence but you all have the strength to make it! I am only 1 pound away from my goal weight after years of working at it...but it happened! I'm currently writing exams, but once they are over expect to see me around more often to offer encouragement, tips & advice! :) Good luck to you all, you CAN do it..it's POSSIBLE!
Reply from Marina, Age 23 - 04/17/11 - IP#: 70.54.150.xxx Thanks Ally! :) Since I posted this, I've lost the last pound too! :D I'm obviously really pleased with myself, but I mostly just want everyone on this site to realize that I was in the exact same boat & I made it & they really can do it even though it is hard. I used to think it actually wasn't possible & that I'd just end up being fat forever...but one day at a time, it can be done...now I'm looking forward to a shopping spree!

You're right, it does take persistence to reach your goals and it's awesome to see you on here, making your goals, and showing others it IS possible to overcome being overweight.
