Hi,I am new to this...

[July22]

I have never joined a group before but I am desperate for a friend that understands me. I am twenty something and the fattest I have ever been in my life!! I am scared and feel hopeless sometimes. Food is my friend when I am sad, angry ,and happy! This is supposed to be the happiest time in my life. I got married July 22,2005 to the best man possible he is so worried about me and my happiness. I want to be happy and lose this weight for myself. All through out my life fat was not an issue until now. I am now a size 14 or bigger because of my hips and butt. I fell down the stairs last year September 30 and my back and neck is stll not right and I am always in some sort of pain the Dr. thinks I have Fibromyalgia but I am tried of feeling bad and need some support please help!! Thanks

Hello, and Welcome! Everyone here is so supportive. I thought I had fibromyalgia (because alot of my family has it) and my doc. said it was tendonitis. I have found that the more exercise I get and the more weight I lose the better I feel. Anyway, anytime you need to talk or vent we are all here for you!

You've found it! We are all understanding and happy to be your friend. Sounds like you have a supportive & loving hubby (a big plus), and with your desire to lose the weight and feel better - we're here to help!

What is your "plan of action"? How much do you want to lose?

We are glad you found us!

I'm glad you found the site--everyone here is really supportive and friendly. Have you talked to a doctor about what exercise would be best for you after your fall? She might be able to recommend something gentle to get you moving, but not high-impact. Also, I know it's not much of a calorie-burner, but I find that some gentle yoga always improves my mood a bit and makes me feel better about myself. You could get a video from your library to start, without having to invest in a video before you know if you like it. Also, I agree with Danee that it's great you have a supportive husband!
