Welcome, come on in and introduce yourself!

Welcome everyone! Your joining a great team!

Hi everyone. I am new and is great to be here. I am done being the fat girl, made fun of, etc. I am not new to SP but have gained back some of the weight I had lost, due to caring for my ill mom & losing her in April. I am back and I am DONE. I want to send hugs to everyone who has welcomed me here.

Hi there. I'm new to the team here. Looking for motivational Sparkbuddies and inspiration.

Glad you are hear angel!

Several years ago, I also went back to school while working full time (only 5 days a week though!). It's hard, but it's worth it. Take that same determination and apply it to your efforts to get healthy.

You CAN do this!

Hi Ya'll.

I'm a 27yo mother of one. I work 7 days a week and go to college. I have let myself go and it's time I found myself again. I'm done with being overweight and being disgusted with what I see in the mirror every day.

I look forward to getting to know everyone and working hard towards my goals!

Welcome everyone!
I look forward to achieving our goals together!

Hi everyone!

I'm DONE being the fat girl. I will be at my goal weight by the year end and I look forward to getting to know everyone and being a supportive teammate!

Hey there Done Girls! I'm Addy. I'm 20 years old and a Freshman in college. I'm from the St. Paul area in MN. I have 101 more pounds to go!!! Look forward to getting to know you girls! :)

Hi! My name is Kaity and I have 130 pounds to lose. I know I can do it because I am done being the fat girl! Come visit my sparkpage and get to know me!

Yep, this is the group for me. Always the one that's cool enough to be friends with, but never date. The one that is terrified to go to the gym for fear of being laughed at. The one that struggles to do things others finds easy just because of my weight. Well not anymore. Look out world- here comes the skinny, confident, hot chick that we've never seen before. Anyone want to join me?

Hi everyone!! I live in Southern California and I am currently in Nursing school to become an RN.

I am so excited I found this group, it is just what I needed cuz I am DONE being the fat girl!!! I look forward to meeting a lot of awesome people here and helping motivate each other to reach some goals.

Hi all, I'm from Detroit. I now live in a beautiful, small suburb. I'm a writer, activist and foodie. I two have daughters, one great guy and a kitty. I'm 45.

Hi all!! I'm Denise and I'm done being the fat twin!! I'm done hearing you and your sister look exactly alike but......! I started a while ago but never really committed. Today is a new day and I'm ready to get back to a health weight and try all the stuff I put off doing!! It's a summer of change!

Hey everyone! I just joined the site and am totally digging this group--pretty much the story of my life. I am so sick of being the fat sidekick and not even being considered by guys--I am tired of my body defining who I am, because I am SO much more than that. Anyway, looking to find support and am happy to give it! Check out my page and friend me :)

Welcome everyone!
You have joined a wonderful team!
There is always people here for you!

Hello everyone! My name is Laura, and I'm *so* done with hearing "you would be so beautiful if you just..."

Yeah. No more of that. I'm so glad to have found this team. :]

*Hello* my name is stephanie,I just joined the 17 weeks lose 30 lbs challenge. Just what I need to keep me motivated. Have a great weekend!

Hello all! :) I am only a few days into this who "spark" thing and this really defines my life!
I am DONE being unhealthy
DONE being the "fat friend"
DONE putting CRAP into my system
DONE with not doing physical activities I have always wanted to try because I am afraid I will look "too fat" or that I am unable to do them.

This is the beginning of my journey and I am so happy to be able to have this community :)

Hello Done girls. My name is Tammy and I am so done being the fat girl. Done being the "friend" to every cute guy. Done being the "nice" fat girl who helps everybody and does nothing for herself. I am ready to lose this weight and unleash the real me. I am done of hiding.

Happy to be back as a DONE girl. I was a DG under my former sparkname, but left the whole spark system thinking I could do it on my own.

I realized doing it alone wasn't working and I needed support and accountability and FUN!

Hey All,

After some looking I think I found the team to get me back on track. Thanks for being here!

Hello all,
I'm Ty and I am DONE!
I'm done being the fattest girl out of all of my friends and family. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and not loving what I see. I am tired of feeling uncomfortable when my fiance touches me in certain spots(my belly). I am done with thinking about my weight constantly and not doing anything about it!
I'm done!!!

I am just coming back after starting and quitting and quitting and starting! We started a challenge at my job about 3-4 weeks ago and since the start of the challenge I have lost almost 6lbs. Since the end of May I have lost over 10lbs. I am done and I really think I got it this time and as long as I have my Doney's support!

Finally a group that sums up my whole reason for being here. I have been searching for my own little group and here it is. Although it aint so little - look at all those members! There a lot of done girls out here!
Well I am Vic, and yes I am well and truly done being the fat chick. I would like to unzip me and step out as a slimmer, happier me. I can't wait to read all your posts.
I am Done baby! xx

Hi - I'm Jen and I'm so done being the fat girl. I've been the skinny girl before (years and years ago) - I just need to find her again. I'm sick of hating the way I look, of being awkward when I shouldn't, of not flirting, of not being confident in my own skin... I could go on and on. Since December I've lost 30.5 lb - only 59.5 to go!

So glad to have found you guys!

Hi, I'm Annette. I'm happy to be joining this team because I am done being the fat girl. Done being unhealthy, unattractive, unfit, uncomfortable and feeling unworthy. I'm taking the "un" right off of all of these because I am SO DONE!!

Welcome everyone

Welcome to all the newbies!!!

Hi everyone!
Welcome all!
I really encourage you to join the 30 lbs in 17 weeks challenge! It is a wonderful team! Lots of encouragement! They keep me going when I don't want too! They are just as excited as I am weather I loose 1 lb or 10! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hello, I am done being the fat girl.. I am on a few SP teams but this one seems to have quite a bit of activity which is helpful to me... I am just trying to figure out how to post..

I am fed up, and done... being the fat girl. Time to start some serious changes. Dropped a few spark teams and am changing over to some new ones. I have seen this team a lot over spark pages. Most of them people who have met their goals and losing weight so I want to join a winning team. I need encouragement, accountability and just motivation. Looking forward to what is going to happen next.

Hi all! I'm Maureen, and I'm DONE being the fat girl! I've been the fat girl ALL my life, and I'm sick of it. I want to be the ripped girl instead!

Hey ladies! my name is Aaron and I am done being the fat girl. I have stopped with excuses and have been training for a 5k. I found that I really like running too. We all need someone to keep us motivated, I hope this group will help. Looking forward to being the fit girl!

Hello ladies, I am so excited to be here with all of you on my team! I know there is a askinnier, healthier me inside trying to break free an I am going to help her.

My name is Lauren, I'm 22 and I'm from Ohio. I'm brand new to sparkpeople and I made an account for the motivation, encouragement of others like me. I've always been overweight, since I could remember and I'm ready to be healthy and happy. I have a goal to lose 70 pounds but I know it will take time, and patience. I'm open to making friends on here to talk about challenges, compliment accomplishments and share tricks and tips. :)

Hi, my name is Valerie. This isn't my first time at Spark, but I decided to start a new account after losing 73 lbs. because it seemed easier than trying to reset all my settings, goals, etc. for further weight loss. I am hoping to better utilize everything Spark has to offer this time around with my fresh start... especially the encouragement from everyone & making friends!

My name is Colleen and I am from Los Angeles. I recently returned to SP after a year long absence because I know I need the support and I see the weight creeping back up instead of continuing slowly down as it does when I participate in the SP community.

Probably the most important thing in my life right now is that I am getting married in 9 days and life is currently a madhouse! I am not sure why I think the the insanity will stop soon, it is probably just beginning!
Anyway, here I go again, jumping in to the deep end of the pool to learn how to swim!

Good morning everyone. My name is Angela (go by Ang mostly in an informal setting - which means y'all). I'm 35, single, no children, no dating life and I'm sick and tired of hiding behind the fat. It's a learned behavior that I picked up as a self defense so I wouldn't be hurt by others. Well, I'm DONE with hiding and I'm DONE with being overweight. I've been on Spark for a few weeks now and have lost 9#. Just as an FYI - it is hard for me to drop weight like others due to a hormonal/endocrine disorder but I still do my very best and if you need someone to cheer you on - just pop in or send me a message and I'm there for you!

Hi! I'm BranDee. I'm 18 and I'm done with being fat. I've tried dieting many a time but I always get so down by all the skinny friends I have. :( So i would appreciate you all being my friends and trying to encourage me. I hope you have a great day! :)

I'm Jade, and new to the team, and only a month old on SP, LOL! I've lost about 20 lbs and 1" all over in my first month. I'm excited to be on this team and looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi guys!

I'm Kerri. I am new to the team, but not new to SP. I am 14 pounds down and I am DONE! I am a member of a few teams, but looking for some new ones that are a little more active. I noticed the spit or swallow thread and laughed so hard! I thought this might be a fun team to try!

A little about me: I love dogs, music, wine, reading, coffee, tea and Zumba class is my new passion. LOL I can't wait to get to know everyone!

Hello all!

My name is Ana. I'm a 30-something diva-in-hiding who wants to release her fabulousness along with her weight. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.

I joined the team today. I have recently came back to sparks and have seen this team on several pages. After checking it out it looks like there is a lot of support. I'm gonna join the 30 lbs in 17 weeks challenge. There is a lot of support there. I'll start it tomorrow. A new day, A new month

Hi, my name is Jessi. I am 21 years old and a subsitute teacher. I decided to lose weight so I could stop being the fat friend, gain confidance, gain health and stop being the fat substitute teacher. It's hard enough to get kids to listen to you...but then you give them something to make fun of you for....I've almost quit my job several times because of cruel things muttered under breaths about me being a "fat sub". I'm done with it!

I'm glad to be back with Spark. I don't want to lose weight quickly and appreciate having the support. I know it's going to be frustrating at times but in the end, making the necessary life changes will also help me keep the weight off, once and for all.

I'm a 32 yo woman from Southeast Missouri. I enjoy reading, music, and a few choice television shows (i.e. CSI, Bones). I've fought the battle of the bulge since I was a child but am sick and tired of it. I'm easy going and sarcastic and always looking for new friends. So send me a message or an add :-)

Hi, I'm Laurel and from Florida.

Looks like I have found a team that really works and tries to support each other. I have left several teams that they didn't even huddle as a group.

Glad to be a part of a working team

Hi I'm new to the group. Joined spark not too long ago, and have noticed lots of ladies mentioning this as a good team. Wanted to check you out and hopefully find some more support.

My name is Lauren, I'll be 25 in a week. I have an 18 month old daughter, and a husband who is wonderful but very unsure of how to show me support. That's why I'm here

Welcome to all y'all newbies!! Glad you are here! Remember: you get out of
things what you put into them.Best of luck on your journey to health!

Hello ladies, I just wanted to drop by and let you guys know that I am DONE! IT is time to bring SEXY Back!

I've been on SP a bit over a month, but am new to this group. Very excited to be here, seems like a great group! I've got sooo much to lose sometimes it seems overwhelming, but I to am DONE BEING THE FAT GIRL! SOOO done. I've lost almost 20 lbs and 1" in all my measured areas. Looking forward to getting to know people here!
