Dr's Orders

Hello

I actually started a few days ago and I love this site!!

I've been heavy all my life and have tried a lot of different things, it usually lasts about a week ...or an hour....

"I'll start tomorrow or Monday" seemed to slip out of my mouth a lot over the years, cause really who starts on a Wed? Seriously any excuse my sister and I could think of not to start.

Well I guess it's my Monday everyday, cause it's time to change for medical reasons and what better motivation is there? Dr's orders not to work out for another two weeks but I am looking forward to it.

Good Morning Dr's. Orders, How are you today?

My screen name is 208kepi130, my name is Debbie. I also have been overweight since 1st grade. Doctors have been telling me all my life I need to not only lose weight but become an arobics instructor to keep it off...yeah, that will happen....not.

Anyway, my stats are: SW208 CW202 GW130. I am determined to finally lose this for good and keep it off.  I have lost before with WW during a summer, maybe 2001? Lost from 180 to 140. But at 140 I still saw the 180 Debbie in the mirror. I am taking many photos along my way to ensure I see the loss.

I recall as a 7 year old,  my sister shopping in the Geranimals section and I had to go to the Chubby section combined with having to wear the training bras. Not like starting the insecure thoughts early.

So, I am here for chatting. If  you go to my journals you will see I am trying different things each week to see what is going to work for me. Hopefully I will lose a little each week until I find what works best with my schedule. I have tried almost every diet/fad diet and know, none are for ever.

If you like to chat and throw around ideas I am here, and I will challenge you as I hope you will challenge me, and we will both be knockouts by next summer.

TTYS

Hello Debbie  Nice to meet you.

My name is Jennifer (candyaddiction screen name)

I come from a family where food centers around everything. The kitchen was like our living room so it was really hard when at 26 I think it was when I lost 65lbs and weighed 115lbs.  It didn't even last 6 month  The most I have weighed is 235lbs which was about two years ago and for someone who is 5'3 that's, well, lets just say quite round. I still hold on to my "skinny" clothes. Pretty sad seeing as umm they are really outdated

I would love to chat anytime.  Thank you for your message.

And congratulations on starting on a Tuesday!!!
