Im not sure how to go about it, but maybe we could have online support meetings in one of the chat rooms at specific times and maybe discuss different challenges, strategies etc?? I would be willing to organize it and run it.

*waiting for the end of the train to add my kaboos to it* At my heaviest, I was 240 and then went down to 190 and have settled into about 210. I am totally on board with this. The hardest part for me is going to the gym alone (I have a slight form of agrophobia). It seems easier to have a plan with a friend.

Hi all. Another 'chubbette' here. I have struggled with weight all my life.
Candace, when I was your age I wore a size 9, and remained at that size 'til my late 30's. I have since then gradually and steadily put on the pounds. I am now 67 years old, and 70 lbs overweight. I certainly don't have the skin elasticity you do, but I believe if I lose the weight gradually/slowly, and go on an exercise program that's suited to my physical capabilities, I can achieve results I can be happy with. My closet has enough sizes to open up a clothes store! They range from size medium to X1. Currently my slacks size is 18, but I have lost a pound or two within the last few months. I am retired, and don't have any sort of social or active life, so that has got to change as well. I'm hoping that with the good weather that's approaching, I will get out more and start walking. My best wishes to all of you who are struggling with your weight. Remember, it's not just about 'looking good', it's about your health, and avoiding the pitfalls of excess weight. Good luck, and thank you for starting this thread. I will be a frequent visitor. p.s. The South Beach Diet is an excellent way to jump start your weight loss program. I went on it several years ago, and lost 30 lbs in 3 months time. Sadly I've gained it all back and then some. The mindset must be: this is not a temporary change of diet - it's a lifetime committment. |

Just checking in and updating...
The big 4-0 came and went on Saturday and my "goal" when I started my life change back in August was to be the same size I was when I was 17... I am ONE clothes size away... When I started I was 5 away. Lost almost 80lbs now. I feel better and am starting to incorporate exercise into my life. Its been a rough go the past couple of weeks with physical illness, but I am back on track and focused. Hope everyone is doing well, and if not, brush yourself off and remember that you can start again tomorrow. Best, Christie |

Good job, Christie!! Good luck, and keep it up - only one dress size to go? Wow, how lucky you are!!! Stick to it, you'll be there in no time!! However, you do know that losing the weight is the 'easy' (?) part - keeping it off, well, that's a whole 'nother challenge!

Congratulations Christie, I love to hear about folks reaching their goals, and it sounds as if you will successfully reach yours in less than 12 months.
I picked up Prevention's Flat Belly Diet at the library, yesterday. I don't know if I will do the actual plan, but it was very interesting to read about what causes us to lose that flat belly. Stress is the biggest factor...something to think about! Quote:

i think the best kind of diet is a diet someone can live with for the rest of there life.
maybe if ya'll want too and just a thought...... can post on here what we eat each day and compare , see how its working for us get or give advice... i dont know........ just a idea... i can post what i had so fat since i woke up and you tell me . good or bad in the diet plan. i woke up around 8 am today ........ normal im up at 5 or 6 .. not sure why i slept so late. lol anyways... i had a cup of cereal... i normaly eat kashi, blueberry /oat flake one quaker oatmeal squares or anythng else thats on the healthy side. i am bad however once in a blue moon will have some lucky charms.. lol have a 20 oz coffee 2 half n half creams only and just made a small sandwhich of light ham fresh from the deli ,1 slice of swiss and about a cup size thing of chips.

Did anyone see TBL last night? My cable and internet were down during the show, so the DVR didn't record.
