Hello all! :) Well, well, I finally found myself browsing a weight loss forum and google brought me here! :) -- I am 27 years old (almost 28 -- October 8th) I'm a southern girl! I am currently engaged to the love of my life and we've been together over 2 years and we do not have any children. I've always been a fat girl, and honestly I've been OKAY with that! I've never had any health problems due to being a big girl. My doctor has always told me I'm healthy! That he doesn't agree with the whole "Slim is the best healthy" -- Anyhoos. Like I said I have always been okay with being bigger. My confidence has always been high. But, I guess there comes a time in everyones life when it's time to get healthier huh? Well, my time is now! I'm ready to lose weight. Yesterday, I finally went and got my Gym membership and I am sooooo excited about working out and getting fit! My fiance' plays a HUGE support role and he got a membership as well. I know with him by my side I can do this! You know all my life, I've heard people say, You are so beautiful............... for a big girl. What do you mean? For a big girl? Why can't I just be beautiful? Aren't big girls people too? Can't we just be beautiful? -- And, If I had a dime for everytime I've heard "You have such a beautiful face, if you'd lose a little weight you'd be Gorgeous!!!" Whoa! Even though people think they are giving you a compliment it actually doesn't make you feel like it!!!! But, like I said.. I've heard it all and you know what? I never let it get to me! I keep my head high and my confidence off the charts! And since I can remember I've always been big. I'm a tall girl (5'10) and I'm well proportionate. But, I got me some chub! :smilielol5: -- And I'm ready to take care of it! I don't want to get skinny, but I do want to lose weight.. and get my stomach, arms, face, and legs slimmer. Basically almost everything lol. Anyhoos. I thought by joining a forum with other people with similiar stories with a desire to lose weight will help with my motiviation and keep me looking forward with my goal! -- I look forward to getting to know you guys! And good luck with everything you are going through! :)

I can relate!

Hi there! I could absolutely relate to what you said about always being fat....I'm also fairly tall, about 5'8". I've always heard "you have such a pretty face...if you lost a little weight....", etc. Even when I was in high school I was a size 12, (which I would LOVE to be right now...I'm an 18-20) and people would tell me that I should lose weight or that I was chubby.
I'm new to this forum (just joined today, actually) and I look forward to getting to know people a little bit.
I've started working out with a personal trainer because I really would like to drop about 50 pounds and get healthy.
Best of luck to you!!

Hello zanymonkey! & welcome to this site! I'm new to this forum as well! I just joined today and I am looking to make life-long friendships with positive people who are going(or went through) what I am going through now! I wish you the best in your journey and if you need a friend along the way just hit me up! :) Good luck!!!
 
I was always chubby as a kid but 8 years ago I managed to lose 35 lbs, so it can be done. It really all starts in the mind, I mean how badly do you want to lose weight? Because if you want it badly enough then you can definitely do it! what really used to bother me was when I used to go out with friends I would see how they looked all dressed up and then feel a bit sad about things.

I used this as one of my incentives to lose weight and remained focused on that and how much of an impact it would have on my life if I did lose weight. I've managed to keep the weight off but I know how difficult it can be to get there. So if you do have any questions I'd be more than happy to help!
