Ht. 5'6", Start: 225 lb, Today: 225 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - Hi you guys......Today i decided that i'm tired of being as big as i am, and so i have decided to go to the gym. The problem is that i don't like going to the gym because i feel that its only skinny people that go there, and i feel like they are going to stare at me and just look at me weird, or think that they are better than me because they are thin.
I have not been able to loose weight because i'm so scared of what others might think when they see me walking my dogs, or doing excersise at the gym. I am just not confident, and i need help. And it gets me so frustrated that i think this way.
can anyone give me some advice?!?!!

Ht. 5'8", Start: 211 lb, Today: 288 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 180 lb - I don't know if I can still post here because I'm not losing, but gaining. It's always the same, and I don't know how to change that. The holidays have been like non-stop eating for me, I've gained more than 15 lbs in just a few weeks. I'm fatter that ever and feel like a blob. It's already getting hard to walk longer distances, I'm not fit anymore. Everything I've tried didn't work. There are always these cravings for food. And there's always food in the house! I just go into the kitchen and get it. So sad....

I see a different in a weeks time, but then i slack off. 2010 is a new beginning for me. Im about to graduate in June and i would love to shed several pounds by then.

I can't run as fast as my friend's an im really FAT my waist line is almost 40'' i struggle fitting into age 14 jeans.i always get made fun of at school kids push me punch me in the stomach saying things like maybe that'll help you loos weight.
when i was 7 i weighed 122 pounds and everyone madefun of me at 8 i weighed 180 pounds. the school paid for me to go to fat camp and i lost 2 stone. But when i started binge eating i put on almost 2 pounds a day! at 9 i weighed an incredable 249 pounds my Doctor said that by the age of 30 i would weigh on 100 stone! i really had a problem. so my parents sent me to fat camp for 12 weeks. that was followed by a phycology curse and an intense diet. now i weigh 212 pounds but i still have to see the hurse every week for a weigh in.
my target is 7 stone  (Note: 15 st 2 is 212 lb.)

Ht. 5'8", Start: 209 lb, Today: 209 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 160 lb - So I've been overweight for a while, but I was never really THAT bothered by it. But I was looking at my pictures from New Years Eve and I realized that I don't look as good as I thought I did. So I want to start losing weight. I'm joining weight watchers on tuesday because that is when the first meeting starts. But I feel I should probably start working on it now. I need massive help with motivation. It's just so hard to say no to all the junk food. I am in my second year in college. All my friends are pretty skinny but all eat really bad. I have to buy and cook my own food. It's so hard not to pinch in and get some take-out with all my friends or junking out on fries after a night out. Also, we go out a lot which means I'm drinking a lot of alcohol which is also very fattening. I just don't know where to start. I would really appreciate some advice :). Also I would love a weight loss buddy, I feel that would really help. My email is gotsports101@surewest.net, drop me an email. Thanks everyone :)
