Thanks drama queen! I lost 9 pounds summer '06 and then lost the rest of it within the last year - it was my unannounced resolution

This is so inspiring! Especially people like Kim! It lets me know that I CAN do this!

I may post my first "before" pictures soon. I took them tonight, and started my new food life a week ago. Maybe in a couple of weeks, I'll show you the good, the bad, and the ugly!

I decided to add some before pictures.



Obviously, I'm on the right. (I'm very tall as you can see. I was wearing flats, Chrissy was wearing heels.)



And the only picture of me in the WORLD in a bathing suit (besides some private before photos that I will post when all is said and done.)


Here is my public promise: When I reach my goal weight, I will post of picture of myself in a bikini - NO FLOAT! Hahaha.

I am currently at 233 and in these photos was between 230 and 240. I am 5'11.5" tall, and want to be 150.



Game on, ladies!!!!!

Hi gals!!!


Its been awhile since I have posted on the thread. I have been popping my head in but havent really said much.

I have had my surgery at the beginnig of the month. It went well and my ex was there with me and totally redeemed himself. Granted we wont ever get back together but we will always remain friends. But yeah.... he was awesome.
Anyhow, everything went good. They lasered everything and actually found a spot on and by my ovary of sar tissue and figured something was hiding behind the scar tissue (and they were right), and they got a few more spots.

A few days though after he surgery I got sick. I had a sinus infection that seemed like a really nasty cold but my sinuses were draining into my lungs. so I got a breathing treatment finally and on antbiotics and can actually breathe a little!!! Lol. So the last few weeks have been pretty crappy but its ok. Now that I am starting to finally get better I can focus on my weight loss.

Now with being sick, I have not been able to eat much of anything so I have dropped down to 232. Not bad, but not the right way.

I will come back in later and do personals. For now though I am going to go back to bed cause I am still exhausted from everything

Everyones posts are so inspiring. I am currently at 227 - in the past 9 months I had lost 31 lbs, but had a kidney stone, stopped exercising and eating right, and put 10 lbs back on! Shew - I couldn't believe how fast I put it back on! Good luck to everyone and I'll try to keep a weekly update and share my successes and shortfalls!

lovetwobmommy

I am new here and it is so encouraging to read all of these great success stories, great job everyone!

I have lost now a total of about 12 or 14 lbs!

I have cut my portions in half. When I eat, after every bite I wait 15 seconds before taking another one. I have noticed I get the not hungry or full feeling much quicker. I have also (for the most part) stopped eating chips, brownies, all that junk food. And I am not munching on as much food. I try to keep myself occupied in the mean time and that helps.

Glad to hear everyones stories!! We can do this!!!!

i absolutely love this site... its sooooo encouraging to me. i just found it a few days ago and now when i get home from work I can't wait to get back here :-) I AM BEYOND ENCOURAGED!!! I was first dx in 2004. Although i had ballooned up more than 80lbs, my family would constantly call me names and harass me every time i grabbed something to eat. They would say random things like ur gonna get fat ur sooo lazy.. And i was like hello my eating habits havent changed and i do go to the gym (occassionally) It really hurt me. I stopped showing people my old pictures because when they would see them they would start to say i needed to lose weight and i was not attractive. For so long I would get so angry. So now people actually understand that i have an actual medical condition. But besides that small info. I'm really so excited to stay on track now. I've seen all the before and after fotos... ... ... and wow i'm more motivated than ever. i know that this is not gonna be an over night thing. But i started met after thanksgiving. I was extremely sick for awhile so i couldnt exercise or leave the house for awhile. finally i'm feeling better and have been able to actually go grocery shopping. I started the South Beach Diet and upped my met to 1000mg and wow i've lost 16 lbs so far since mid january. YAY!!!!! I'm only a few pounds away from my target weight for February. Yes i started writing out my target goals for each month.

I will definitely keep everyone posted in these next few months. I honestly cant believe that i've lost this much weight. Its been almost 4 years with no success just gaining and gaining and gaining!!!!! So thank you ALL sooo much. I'm so thankful for your testimonies... I am now 219 YAY!!!

twinsdaddy

good job all!
