I have been over weight my whole life. i was much like you i would stay at home and had just one really good friend I was like that until i was about 20. I realized that it did not matter my weight but how I perceived myself I felt I did not have the right to do the things that skinny chick's did and that guys did not like me because I was overweight. I was so WRONG. It all comes down to yourself. You have to love yourself no matter your weight before anyone else will appreicate you. if there is anything you want to do, DO IT Live your life and stop worrying about what other people think. because that is really what you are worried about. And yes your social life will change along with your weight and age. Being overweight is a shield to keep people at a distances and you can hind behind that but now that you are losing weight and felling good and looking good you aren't in the shadows anymore, but on the front line. Enjoy it and embrace it feel good that when you go shopping you aren't in the plus section anymore. Be the young fly chic you know you are. I wish I was 22 again but that is ok because I am fly at 35. |

| Weight Loss | Just a bit of confusion... | Nov 14 2008 17:42 (UTC) |

I was like you in the beginning I wasn't sure how it all worked. i know to lose a pound of weight a week you have to eat 500 calories less then you normally would 500x7=3500 calories which is about a pound a week. The Calorie Counter suggested i eat about 2200 a day. I changed it in my default to 1500 calories a day and in my activity level I put low because my normal day isn't that active. The only actively I put in my log is my daily walk of 30 to 80 minutes a day depending on the weather and my time frame. I don't put every little thing I do around the house because I know for myself I go at my own pace. Is has worked so well for me before I found this web site I was doing this on paper and I weight almost 340 pounds and I am 5'8. I lose anywhere from 4-6 pounds a week and a total of 6.5 inches a week. I eat foods that I like and that make me feel fuller. I've had my days don't get me wrong i love to eat man and I do. Being bored is a big downfall to i exercise even when I don't want to. I guess what i am suggesting to you is keep it simple and have fun doing it. You will enjoy the outcome more. |
