I want to lose weight and be sure I did...

Firstly, I think that you have a problem with your sense of self worth, if you would lose sleep because someone told you you are fat. If you are however obese, then simply need to learn to eat healthy and exercise daily. I once had an anorexic tell me I was fat! Me! Fabulous me! Learn to be comfortable with yourself and only pay attention to friends who criticize you and give you suggestions. The above-mentioned friend may never have been a friend.

I wish you the best too. I have all of these exercise machines but don't use them like I should. Just don't try to over do it. Go for it.

Hey Jacklin! I've seen some of your photos on Facebook and I think you look just fine. For those people who have called you "fat", I reckon they just don't know the effects and consequences a statement can make to someone else, and they obviously never thought of putting themselves into somebody else's shoes. My advice is, be confident about your looks and appearance because while some people may be critical and judging your physical appearance, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder and someone else might think you look fabulous and gorgeous. Besides, what matters more than physical appearance is your personality, beliefs and principles in life. But in the meantime, doing the evening walk to lose a bit of weight is an awesome step to achieve a better weight and more importantly, good health. Like the other myLotters, I am behind you all the way too and support you 100%!

I am also a sensitive person especially with my weight and appearance. People will judge anyway. Be positive. You can lose to the desire weight you want if you think you can! Cheers.

I have been wanting to lose my weight too. Had been working intensely, and also saw some results couple months ago, but right now I'm so lazy and can't be bothered. I just hope this laziness gets away from me so I can exercise and be in shape again. It's summer already and I haven't been able to get my ideal weight. I am o going to exercise from tomorrow on. Good luck to the both of us. Let's do it

Good luck to you! Just like you, I'm a little overweight and I don't like it at all. It's been 4 years now since I started getting fat and gaining all these pounds I'm carrying right now. It's really hard to set a goal when it comes to losing weight but still, I try my best. It's best to do it now than regret it later. Health is wealth as they say so I am wishing you all the luck on your weight loss goal. I hope you get focused and stay strong. Let us know of your achievements okay?

I am also in your shoes. I just cant loose the weight. I stopped eating lunch going one 5 months and i still did not loose a pound.I have high blood pressure and o am on pills for that but its still high. I took it this morning and it was 143/107 that is high. it been running that high even with the pills. I weigh close to 300 pounds.Good luck to you I sure hope your calorie intake helps you

Oh people can be so rude sometimes. They just don't think about how their words will sound to the other person or the impact. Just be careful not to over do it with the weight loss. Sounds as if you are going about it the right way anyway by exercising and all. You mentioned dropping below 100 lbs and that is really really tiny. You don't want to get too thin.

when I was losing weight I used this free website to help me. It gives me a plan and meal tracker as well as fitness tracker. If you have a ipod or ipad they have apps for it as well. Enjoy and Good Luck www.sparkpeople.com

Go Jackie! Go Jackie! I will be supporting you every step of the way. Do not get discouraged and continue working on it. Some days you will not feel like doing the exercise and you will tell yourself, I will. Remember we will be encouraging every step of the way. That was excellent for the first day, and remember once you get started the time goes so fast. The results are endless.

Uhm... well, first of all, try to find what your ideal weight should be. I believe this has something to do with your height and your activity. I am a bit alarmed that you want your weight to be below 100 lbs. Unless you are a small person, this seems low. Uhm... also, I think the best motivation for losing weight would be your own good health, instead of other's perception of your 'fatness' (if there's such a word...). Although I can understand that some may use this as motivation as well.
