Ht. 5'4", Start: 210 lb, Today: 176 lb, Goal: 140 lb - why is it sooooo hard? :( my friend used to be fatter than me and all of a sudden she weighs less when I'm the one who started the whole weight loss journey and took life into my hands...I'm falling apart. It's just so hard. Why? I wish I had the drive that I used to back when I started. I just hate myself.

i know just what you're going through- both my best friend and my both of my sisters have lost so much weight and they all used to be bigger than me! my friend isn't even nice about it! but- you need to focus on yourself- not them, because won't it be better when we're all nice a fit and trim? then you can go clubbing or bar hopping and all of you will be looking hot and feeling great. no one will be left out then- just work at it!

I know what you mean Claire. Before my friend was WAY heavier than me and now she's so thin and fit like I'd say probably around 130-140 lb (if not less now since it's been a while since I've seen her.) It makes me really depressed sometimes becuase I wouldn't say I look almost 180lbs but I have a belly bulge and thick thighs. Some days I just wanna scream "WHY ME?!" But you have to find your inner strength and accept the body type you've been given. Meaning, once you get in shape and all, you just have to accept your good points and flaws. For example, I'm naturally curvy like my mom, aunt, grandma,etc. so my doc said my goal should be 140-150 lbs. Just remember that health and happiness and kindness are true beauty and you are pretty no matter what an arse-hole boy or biatch has to say about it. ;-)
