I am an 18 year old girl who weighs about 24stone :( i hate the way i look and it has always impacted on my life. I want to be able to go into a shop and look for size 8 or 10 clothes and not 24-26. I've been putting it off for sometime now because of school and writing my A-level exams but they won't last forever. I know i need to change but I'm afraid of failing miserably, but it HAS to be done. — Anonymous	05/27/2012 - 5:30pm
I have many reasons for wanting to lose weight. Currently my number one deterrent is the fear of failure. I have a great support system at work and at home; and for the 1st time in my life, time to exercise daily. It is time for a change. I plan to take it a day at a time--and if I mess up one day, then to not consider it a total loss, but to push on! — Anonymous	04/26/2010 - 3:56pm
I have been ready all my life, but was afraid that I would lose the freedom to eat the things I love. Now I am ready to give up some of the things I love to help my health. I have tried doing it 'my way' and it just is not working for me. I am ready to admit I need to change. — Anonymous	04/20/2010 - 12:56am
