following: Calorie Count
performance: losing 1.0 lb a week

I'm Jenn and like many of us on this site, I have tried and tried and tried (did i mention that i have TRIED??) to lose weight throughout much of my life. I have succeeded numerous times, but have always failed to maintain these achievements. I am now in my mid-30's and my body is slowing down some. I have no children, and still very much want to start a family. Though I have other issues which make this a difficult challenge, I also have my elevated weight as a barrier. This is something I can do something about!! I recently went to see my doctor, and when I got on the scale I about passed out! I could not believe the number I was seeing. No amount of clothing or accessories could make up for the weight on that scale. I had run out of excuses... it became TIME! I am motivated to not only lose weight, but to learn to simply make healthier choices, and maintain a healthier life... not a lifeSTYLE, but a LIFE! If I ever hope to start a family, I had better become a better model for my future child(ren). Ready or not, HERE I COME!!

Avoiding people when your weight is up
i can't say that i've ever really avoided anyone because my weight is up, probably because i've been pretty overweight for most of my adult life, but i can completely understand the feeling of wanting to! I have certainly been uncomfortable in some social situations at my weight, particularly when it comes to family functions with those i haven't seen in ages. i love this online community, though! i never imagined that i would EVER post my actual weight ANYWHERE online!! it's comfortable here, and i know that i don't have anyone to avoid HERE!

Question about averages
I hear you... mine does the same, and it doesn't seem to add up right. I have looked at my calorie rate each day, and it doesn't seem congruent. last night it said something like WW avg was 957 or something like that and i thought, "well that's unhealthy!!" I don't get it, either.
