The Lounge How did you and your partner meet? Sep 21 2007

Hehe mine is another online tale...

I met my bf on a random mailing list when i was 15, just turning 16, and he was 18 about to turn 19.  We were both going through the usual teenage angst at the time and were both quite depressed with a lot of other things in common.  We started emailing and then chatting in yahoo chatrooms/ICQ and became very close, very fast.  The only problem was the 12,000 odd miles separating us.  I live in New Zealand.  He lives in England.  Anyway.. that was way back in 1999. 

Fast forward 7 1/2 years and several failed relationships on both sides...

We had kept in touch for the entire time.. both of us knowing that we were pretty much completely in love without ever having met face to face (which admittedly was my fault -- i was worried about him not liking me due to my weight -- hence me being HERE at CC!!!)) but anyway..

We finally took the biggest step possible and met exactly four weeks ago today.  After SEVEN AND A HALF BLOODY LONG YEARS.  It was better than both of us expected and we are now officially together! :D :D :D

Thankfully its nearly my holidays from university, and im off to England for the next 4 months.. :D

  1. Starting Weight (& day joined):  254 (20th Sep 07)
  2. Highest Weight EVER:   around 286lbs (2004?)
  3. Mini-Goals: 1st Goal Weight: 246 (12 Oct 07) then 231 (23rd Nov 07)
  4. ULTIMATE Goal Weight: 130-135lbs
  5. Plan: Sticking to between 1400 - 1600 calories per day (depends how hungry i am).  I know i also need to start exercising but at the moment im just getting my head around the counting calories part!
I've just found CC a couple of weeks ago. Only just posted for the first time on the forum though a couple of days ago.  I'm quite excited by this "scientific" approach to losing weight.  It sounds sensible and fairly fail safe as long as you stick to your proper number of calories per day... i've already learnt heaps about how NOT to spend your calories!

I havent taken the time to read all 11 or so pages of this thread, but i assume we weight in every week?  Thanks :)

Motivation Any Embarrassing Moments Because Of Your Weight? Sep 17 2007

im relatively new to  and havent posted on the forums before but this thread really struck a chord with me.  I've noticed a lot of people have mentioned the seat on the airplanes, and i have an embarrassing story from when i was 17.  I was on a flight for a school trip away and for some reason got sat next to my teacher.  The seatbelt wouldnt go right around me so i pretended it was done up by hiding it under my hands.  When the stewardess came around she asked to see it done up and of course it wasnt.. and i couldnt do it up, so she got me a seat belt extender right in front of my male teacher.  it was more than a bit traumatic and haunts me to this day every time i get on a plane 8 years later.  I can do the seatbelts up now... im not much lighter.. but obviously that 15lbs or so makes a difference..

i have to fly to London in about a month.  Im really worried about the long flight being incredibly uncomfortable :(
