  Thought I would intoduce myself. My main goal funny as it sounds is I want to

be able to look down and see my feet. I am tired of all the old looking clothes

and not being able to find pretty ones, of being out of breath just walking from

parking lot in to work.

  Have been overweight about 30 years and am so tired of it. Found this site

and need all the encouragement I can get.   Thanks for your time.

Hello Ramona,

That isn't a weird goal at all.  I recent looked down to see my toes peeking up at me.  It was a nice moment.  I haven't seen my whole toes yet, but at least I know they are down there.

It is nice to meet you and you are certainly welcome.  If you need any kind of help, just give a holler.

Hey Ramona,

 Welcome to the group, You will find it is the most encourageing one around.  I think it doesent matter what makes us get moving, just that we get there so good luck and let us hear all your suscess stories, I know there will be lots :)

Welcome Ramona!!!

I too want to see my toes....and I want to sit comfortably at a baseball game, movie theatre, airplane....not silly goals at all in my book and the ladies above me are correct.

This is the best group on here in my opinion!!!

YOU CAN DO IT!!

Looking forward to sharing in all your success and helping you up if you need it as well!

Hi Ramona,

I just joined today and totally understand where you're coming from, I am at the same exact place.  Hopefully, we can support each other.

    Thanks so much for the warm welcome. It feels so good to have other people who know how hard it is to try to lose weight.

Nurss1955,

It is so nice to have someone to talk to that knows what it is to be VERY overweight.  We are helping each other get there.  If you need anything, give a holler.

Good afternnon -

I too want to see my toes - but I think the thing I am most looking forward to is being able to sit comfortably anywhere there are "theater seats". I have a distinct dislike of the bruises I get on my hips trying to force myself into those seats right now. There has even been a occassion or two where I have either had to stand (which causes a whole slew of other problems) or sit on the floor (now that was embarrassing!) because no matter how hard I tried, I just didn't fit!

Sunnim,

It is so nice to meet you.  I definitely understand what you are talking about.  I went to the movie last week and had to shimmy a bit to fit into the movie seat to squeeze in and then wasn't really comfortable.

I WILL say I am fitting better every time I go.   I don't need to grease my thighs to get in and out anymore!  Nor a team of oxen to pull me out of the chair, so there is hope!
