      Ive ALWAYS been heavy set my ENTIRE LIFE. My mom has had me on diets ever since I was 3 years old. I never had any friends growing up because every one was skinny or a "normal" weight. I was always made fun of because of my weight. No matter how much I diet I can not seem to loose all the weight I need to loose. I an 120 lbs over weight. I joined weight watchers at Church, and I lost a total of 7 lbs, but now I'm not loosing weight anymore.
