Greatful

I don't know about you, but I feel greateful today for having this community. I have felt isolated for so long beacause my husband (of 22+ years) and my daughter are slim and healthy, as a matter of fact, my daughter models part time, so I was the only "fat" person in my family.

Don't get me wrong, my small family is very supportive of my weight loss, and are excited to see some results, but is not the same, as someone who has been there.

I wanted to share, I started my focus in weight loss 10/28/2009 at 176.5 and I'm only 5'0" tall. Yes, I am round. Then I found this website on 10/31 and joined, and I am using the food log, activity log, and all the tools I can. This morning my weight was 170.8. Thank you and I hope I can have other postings of people feeling the same way as I do today!

Have a great Sunday! 

I can relate- I am also short and round...  I am 5'2 and currently weigh 170.  I started CC at 181.5, so I am making progress.. Slow progress. I started on Oct. 8, 2009. My husband is 6'2 and can eat a whole lot more than me.  When we first got married- almost 5 yrs ago...I think I tried to eat as much as him... Well look where that got me.  So now when I make dinner, I give him larger portions than me and realize he is a guy and a foot taller than me. :)

Hi jjcteach,

My husband is also tall and not overweight. Also he loves to cook, and I love to eat his cooking... So that could be a challenge, because he loves to add sauces and butter to many of his dishes. When I was out of control, I would eat sometimes more than him. I have a tremendous appetite. But now that I am counting calories, my portions are a lot smaller.

I feel you have lost a lot since Oct 8th so give yourselve a pat in the back. Today I am 165.8 and excited because every ounce that we loose is adding years to our lifespan. Keep up and dont give up, because you deserve to be healthy and enjoy your marriage and the rest of your life.

See you soon,

Violet
