Ht. 5'4", Start: 291 lb, Today: 291 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Well I've been dieting and exercising for a few days now... Im really anxious about looking at the scale next week but Im so afraid that I wont lose a pound... this sucks! I hate anxiety! It makes me want to eat even more.
Oh and congrats to you two below who lost weight... Being on this site does inspire me to lose weight because before I stopped coming on here I lost a significant amount of weight... now Im heavier than ever but very optimistic

Hey! Don't be anxious!!! You don't have to lose a pound! If you just stay the same and don't gain a pound, you are doing good, trust me! If you start feeling anxious about your weight, do something that will help you feel better like taking a bath or going for a walk or talking to a friend on the phone, sign up for a club, join a church. All these things are great distractions! So is helping other people so get out there and do some service! Don't stress so much about it ok? Everything will be fine if you don't give up!
