| There is hope for you. I never attempted to lose weight because I never believed that those people who made those dramatic changes could be me (sorry for the poor grammar). I admired them but I didn't have it in me. When I saw the scale hit 300lbs I was floored. I remember the devastation I felt when I hit 200lbs. A girl at my office was fasting and I discussed how unhealthy it was with and said it would never be me. Well she said that maybe I could give up something for lent. I gave up candy and other snacks. That snowballed into being observant about what I ate. I found this website and started counting calories in an effort to eat better. I now weigh 254lbs. It is amazing because I now know that I can be one of those people and will be. You will be too. It takes a long time because you need a long time to modify your behaviors and way of thinking. Good luck to you! | |||

| I'm throwing my hat into the ring. This thread is just what I needed. I think some of my binging has to do with realizing that this lifestyle change is for LIFE! I can do it and I haven't gained back any of the 45 lbs I lost but I haven't lost any thing in 4 months because of binging. | |||

| I feel the same way. I am scared of the scale. I thought I gained weight and lost 7 pounds! | |||

| me too! This is just what I needed. I have been slipping with my motivation this summer. I started at 300 in March and am 272 now and I don't want to lose the gains I have made with "maintanance days". This is just what I need to get myself together. Thank you. Jeri | |||

| I wanted to join Weight Watchers but I knew I would fail because I am shy and the one meeting I went to wasn't for me. I also didn't have the motivation to add one more thing to my schedule. This site has been a Godsend because I can get what I need when I need it. When I made the impulsive decision to stop killing myself and lose some of these 300lbs, I didn't know if I should take myself seriously. I discovered these message boards. I read United's initial post and it just gave me such motivation. I've been "reformed" since March 1st. I never tried to lose weight before. I know, because of the motivation I receive here, that I can stay on the wagon. Thank you, Jeri | |||

| I hid the scale too, I am only weighing once a month. It was causing me too much anxiety. I am making a change I know is positive and I don't want the weight obsession to hinder me. | |||

| Weezy, that is why I am not weighing myself. I know the changes I have made are making me healthier in the long run. I would be so discouraged so I weighed once and lost 20lbs. I am not going to do it again until June. People have told me they see the change. I know that since I have been walking I have some stamina. I used to walk for 5 minutes on my treadmill and have to take to bed ; ), now I can walk for a half hour. I can do longer at the park. I know this is a miracle. I am in it for the long haul, I have over a hundred pounds to lose, so I'll be here with you. Jeri | |||

| I have 75 to my personal goal of 200. I have 100 to get to 175 so I'm still a member. I made it through Easter, so I guess I can make it through the long haul. | |||

| United, thank you so much for the encouragement and welcome. I never attempted to diet before so I mean for this one time to take. I shared the information you posted with coworkers. Thank you because it helps me count more wisely. I already started with the water. Your are on my friends list too. | |||

| I feel like that should be my post. I don't have a clue of why I never felt that I was good enough to treat myself right and not keep gaining weight. Well, I am good enough to put myself through losing this weight little by little. | |||

| I finally added a profile. I did incorporate walking for an hour a day with my coworkers in the evening (the kids and grandbaby goes too). We are going to add a half hour at lunch time. I am eating a lot of 5 calorie jello because I am so greedy. Thanks for welcoming me. I plan to stay for the long haul, probably the rest of my life. I am 299 (I haven't weighed, waiting until after Lent) and I don't want to develope high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. | |||

| I didn't really decide. I was a destressed when I saw 300 on the scale at my physical but not enough to do anything. When a new coworker was fasting, I told her she was crazy. When she said I should give up sweets for lent, I told I going to do it. That snowballed into watching my diet, then to calorie counting and then this. I walked 4 miles today. My usual physical activity is walking to my office from the car and back. | |||

| I just joined the site. I am 299lbs, so I'll be around for a while. The calculator recommended 2100 calories a day but I was doing around 1500. I was feeling a little funky, so I am around 1800 and I feel better. I have to incorporate some excercise in there I guess. I hope I can stay on this weight loss journey with you. | |||
