Anyway, Lau: celebrate yourself b/c you're beautiful, as you are, today!
2Mumajo said:Hi Lau! I'm new, too -- not to online/forum support, though, but new to weight loss forum support. Glad to 'meet' you! I used to be 130...as much as I'd love to see those numbers on my scales again, I'm not sure it's realistic. I'm shooting for looking smooth and attractive in clothes (my "hot" days may be over - who knows, though?) and healthy - healthy is my #1 goal. How many years have you been trying to lose? (And how many years did it take to get you to where you are?) Remember, it should take about as long to lose it as it did to gain it -- assuming you didn't gain at break neck speeds, of course.
Muah,

I think I'm half going for a good look too, i don't want to look too lanky or gaunt! I've been dieting since I was about 10! Lost about 4 stone when I was 16 but I did it the dangerous way which made extremely unwell mentally and physically! I met my boyfriend and slowly gained about 6 stone!!! I suppose I just got comfortable and he loves me for me and not for how I look luckily! I'll add you on this then we can be newbies together! Lau said:Hello! This is my first post on this site! I've used a lot of weight loss forums before but most of the time no one replied! By the look of things you guys seem really friendly and welcoming
Im not brave enough to post my weight yet! But my goal is 130lbs or lower
Hope to get to know everyone!

I've also been a lifelong dieter (in another intro post I wrote, I noted I've had issues since birth - and that is fact) and, coincidentally, I lost a lot of weight when I was ~16, too -- also in a very unhealthy and dangerous manner. (Thankfully, it didn't evolve into anything noticeably worse than just 40 lb weight loss...) But losing as a teenager is vastly different than it is with 20 more years tacked on!!
One last thing, Lau, I'd wouldn't have guessed you were new -- with your photo, profile and everything edited up like a pro, you seem like a site veteran... (And, of course, mentioning you'd "add me on this" -- which I have NO idea what that means. Did you read all of the documents, FAQ's and whatnot? Guess I should've too!! (Or maybe you are just a natural on sites like this?) =] If you DID read up, let me know if it helped you and is worthwhile... maybe I'll understand more of the vernacular on this site after brushing up a bit on the extracurricular readings... ;o)
Hope you're having a great weekend,
JAR
yeah I read the info on one of the stickie posts in the intro section it tells you how you gain more privileges like a photo private messaging etc its only short so not an epic read I used to be on another weight loss forum but a more extreem one I used when I was 16, it's really *****y and competitive so I decided to find a new site losing weight when you're older (only 4 years older in my case!) is so different! I suppose I don't have the pressure to fit in at school any more or finding a boyfriend! I found my signature quote online and it made me chuckle so I thought I'd post it when I get more privileges I'll post the link to the website its full of amusing one liners
