My names Cortney and I'm 19. I've always been unhappy with my weight. Looking back at it when i weighed 140 I was unhappy and now being 5'3 and 208 pounds disgusts me. I honestly don't know how I let myself get like this but I know I am determined to loose it. I don't want to be embarrassed when i see pictures of myself or self conscious in my clothes. So no matter what it takes I'm going to get this weight off and support from this website will really help.

I'll post pictures when I loose some weight..this is my beginning picture

I'm in the purple

c0rtney, this is definitely the right place to find great advice and motivation. I've never seen as many weight loss success stories as I've seen here. On this part of the forum alone, there are so many inspiring pictures. Welcome, get off to a good start, don't get discouraged if things don't move along as fast as you'd like, be persistent and keep your eye on the long term goal while setting several mini goals along the way. You can do this! I look forward to watching your progress! There are a lot of really good stickies in the "On Topic" section of the forum.

Well, this is definitely the first step. The first couple months are shitty but once the better lifestyle becomes your routine, and you can look in the mirror and impress yourself it will become relatively easier. Good luck with everything, and keep us updated.
 
Hi c0rtney,

Good luck in your attempt to loose some weight. Don't get discouraged if nothing happens at first, but it soon will. Be determined to follow it through and you shall reach your goal.
 
I was in the same position as you a year ago. I was 205 at 5'3 and I'm around 160 now. I can say that Weight Watchers was a miracle for me I lost 20 lbs very quickly and then I maintained because I stopped paying for the service and then I just went back on it on my own in March and I've lost another 20. You can do it for free too, there are calculators online that will tell you how many points you need to eat and such but I suggest you try it for real because it teaches you how to eat like a normal human being lol (something I needed!) But anyway, that's 40 lbs and I haven't even exercised during that time. So it'll happen slowly but surely.

Good Luck!
 
I wish you luck on your weightloss journey..i am also 5'3"!! YAY FOR SHORT PEOPLE!! HEHE!! i cant wait to see your inbetween and after pics..you going to be even more beautiful then you already are!! You carry your weight very well for being 208...i wouldnt have guessed you weighed that much!! GOOD LUCK HUN!!! DONT GIVE UP!!!
 
Hey! Yeah, you're def in the right place! I'm Anke, I'm 20 and I've been living healthy since the beginning of April, so I'm about 2 months in and I've lost 15 or so pounds.

I still gotta lose another 30 or so, so we can all motivate each other along!
