I have to say first of all that I *LOVE* this group!! I've been thinking alot about losing weight lately, and especially since finding out that I have to go for surgery I know for a fact that I need to lose weight (for My health, not for any other reason). I've been truly inspired reading this thread, not only by Candace and her will to lose weight in a way thats healthy for her but also that she has created this space as a way for herself (and others) to remain accountable for their own weight loss .............. brilliant !!!!!!!

I went to a specialist this past Tuesday to find out if I had to go for surgery or not (long story but turns out I do) and they weighed Me on a scale (which is the first time I've been weighed in a LONG time). The numbers were in kilos so once I got home I looked up the conversion into pounds on the internet and almost fainted when I saw what those kilos actually meant ............ I am at 354 lbs!!!!!!! Holy crap, how in the HELL did I ever let Myself get this far???? I saw those numbers and said to Myself alright man, its time to stop letting yourself go and start doing something about it so I'm coming back to this thread to get motivated to become healthy!!!!

I will be coming back to this thread often ............ thank you to all of those who have posted so far (and those yet to post), and I look forward to being along for the ride with all of you while we get healthy and lose weight
