The fact that we are all facing similar problems is all that counts, not how much or how little we have to lose, we are all trying to do it and be healthy and that is the main thing

Hi. I totally agree with this.

people who have a lot of weight to lose started to feel discouraged because they saw some of us who have only 20 or so pounds to lose I would like to say that I can understand how these people might think we are over reacting.

I don't really understand why people who have more weight to lose then me think I'm overreacting or have it so much easier.
I don't go around bragging about being on a diet or anything. But I only wish that if people found out, they'd respect it instead of acting all insecure and making stupid comments. I have heard comments like "Oh, you don't need to be on a diet, how would you like to weigh 200lbs, I wish I weighed what you weigh! Oh, its just babyfat!! "
As for "overreacting". I don't understand why people think that either. If they weighed what I weigh, they would still want to lose weight and I'm sure that if they had a choice for the perfect body of their dreams, it wouldn't be mine. It would be like a 300lb person telling that 200lb person "You're only 200lbs, how would you like to weigh 300!" They wouldn't like it either. It's not a contest.
Losing weight or just eating healthy is hard no matter how much you weigh. I'm supportive of anyone who wants to lose. I just wish some people would understand and be supportive of why I want to lose.
Guess I'm speaking more from instances in real life, but I thought it kind of went with this post. But still, even on forums, we're all in this together but we're not competing.
