I think I'm not taken as seriously here simply because I don't have as much to lose. But, I take my weight very seriously since my mom died at age 61 of diabetes and heart troubles. It made me mad at her that she didn't think it was worth taking care of herself to be around for her kids and grandkids. She was a foodaholic--never stuck to exercise or a healthy diet. It was very frustrating to watch. I will NOT do that to my family.
I'll weigh in for the last time today. I lost 1.5 lbs this weeks after a month of temporary downs--142.5. My goal is 138, so it should happen soon.
Good luck everyone. Keep going--this is important for you and all who love you.

I only have about 7 pounds yet to loose, but have been trying to loose that for a while now. I really need to work on staying healthy as my father died at age 57 and my mother died at 66. I have other relatives that lived to be 90 and 97 so I want to be one of them!
I think this thread has given me the encouragement to keep trying even if I don't get that from anyone else who thinks I'm small enough. They don't understand being thin is not the same as being healthy. I want to be healthy and feel good. I don't feel good most days.
I hope you stay in touch with this thread. But if you don't I wish you the best of luck in getting and staying healthy.

Woo hoo! Down a pound and a half. But the best part is finally breaking that zero. Been trying for a month to get into the next 10 digit range. Made it today, even though that takes off another of my daily points total. But it's worth it. Onward and downward. :)

Karla, I don't know why you feel we do not take you seriously, but I certainly do. It doesn't matter how much you have to lose - it is still hard. we all need support. My feelings were hurt by one member and I am new, but I am not going to leave the support I get here because of one remark. Please do us and yourself a favor and stay with us.
I need you - I need all the help I can get.
