Hi!

I would love to weigh what you do, but I know that doesn't help you feel better. I am 28 years old, 5'3" tall(or short!) and I weigh 282lbs. I just had a doctors appointment on September4th. When I was weighed I thought I would die. I thought that it was awful when I gained over 100lbs in less than a year, but this was disturbing. I gained all of my weight back in 1994, and then I hit a plateau for seven years. Well, at my doctors visit last month I weighed 275lbs like I had for all those years- then this. So we all struggle with this, you are definately NOT alone. Just try different things until you find something that works.(Then share it with us!) Be good, love yourself. That's what we all need to do. Take care:-)
