I'm only 18!! What am I doing! This is like if I were to have a baby. It's a lifelong commitment and I don't think I can do it! But the weird thing is I'm mainly scared about surgery and right after with the pain. I've been in so much pain in my 18 years and I really can't go through more. But I just want to be that beautiful girl! But is that enough to do this surgery? I don't have diabetes or anything. Its just to lose weight and look skinny. Or is it because if I continue on this path I will be that 300 pound in happy girl?

Wow! Thank you so much! I went to fat camp and lost 30 pounds and over the past 5 tears gained it all back plus some. And you totally have the rest of your life too! Thank you forth words and I hope to keep in touch! Pictures and measurements are something I never thought about but I can totally see why it helps in the journey!

This is just what I needed! I just want a better life (my life is great and I'm happy but there is just something missing). I am about 220 and I work out ALL the time I just don't know why I can't lose weight! I hope to keep seeing your guys weight loss because that's amazing! I'm scared I won't get the results other people on here got but I'm hoping for the best
