Starting my weight loss TODAY!

Thursday, October 9th, 2008, 3:36 pm

Yesterday I went to the doctor's office and got on the scale. I was shocked! My weight has reached an all-time high of 270 lbs. That means I am 105 lbs over the normal weight limit and 50lbs over the obese limit for me. That was a real eye opener. I have never owned a scale before because I hate getting on them. I never told anyone what I wighed a just tried to hide my weight under baggy cloths.

But I can see now that I need to face this problem instead of hide from it. It is negativly been affecting my life since I was a kid. I love the outdoors and sports but I can't enjoy them like I want to because my weight is slowing me down.

My plan is to watch my calorie intake and try to eat healthy, lean meals. I am going to be exersizing everyday. I started by riding my bike to class today instead of taking the train, a ten mile trip! Although tired, I feel great! I intend to got to my local 24 hour fitness tomorrow and purchase a gym membership.

Good morning,

A new start, ok how many times have I said that one, oh approx. 10 trillion times.

Oh well here I go again, I remember when I was at my highest weight ever, 345lb's, didn't look good on me, didn't feel good either. 316lb's doesn't look good on my either and to be honest I feel fine, except for my knees hurt, my feet hurt, my lower back hurts, and I don't sleep very well. Wonder what the problem is?...oh thats right I'm OBESE, oh, ( knocks on head)...lol..oh ok you have to have sense of humor, no matter what...I have a sense of humor, I'm not going to beat myself up for being over weight. I mean the fact is I'm fat, and I can do something about it. I have the knowledge, and the know how, but do I have the will, the guts, the drive to do it? I think this time I do. I want it, real bad. But when I seen how many calories I have to cut out for me to make too my goal weight....ugh, it was almost a half a million calories...just too lose 141lb's...good thing I said I wanted to be 175 and not 165lb's....giggling....well my darling husband, and my wonderful 15 year old daughter are going to join me in this adventure. Cliff needs to lose 40lb's and our daughter needs to lose 52 lb's....our son is in great shape. Well let the games begin...

Hello I am a 44 year old African American female who was on January 1,2008 morbidly obese at 290lbs at 5 foot 3 inches. I could barely walk and I was told by my doctor to lose weight. I began to change my eatting habits and began to lose weight. I also began to excerise. I have lost a total of 112 lbs as of Friday.

I still have a bit to go but I feel good. I just noticed that Allie lost 112 lbs. I was a lot larger then she was and I believe she may be taller.

I just wanted to introduce myself. I didn't know this site existed.
