hello everyone!! i would love to join this group also. right now i am the heaviest i have ever been in my life and it has really scared me. my little boy is 2 & 1/2 and i gained about 60 lbs when i had him and i am still trying to get it off. i have no one to blame but myself so now i am going to do something about it. i am tired of feeling "heavy". weekends are usually the hardest for me because i am tempted to snack all day but i am staying out of the kitchen. bye for now
Motivation	Welcome to the new over 100 to lose club!	Sep 27 2006 03:20 (UTC)	533
hello everyone!! spotsknight-you might want to try to tackle one thing at a time. like this week i am going to watch what i eat and stay within my calories and when i think i have control of that i am going to move onto the next challenge like exercise. usually if you start out saying "starting tomorrow i am going to eat right, exercise 3 x's a week, get my 5-7 servings of fruit & veggies everyday, and drink 8 glasses of water daily" it is too overwhelming and you are trying to make so many changes at one time...it has helped me to focus on one thing at a time. but i know that we all want to lose weight quickly so i keep telling myself that i didnt gain all of this weight in 6 months so surely i am not going to lose it in 6 months. auntie jill...i weigh myself once and week and then i have my husband hide the scale because if not i too would be weighing myself & obsessing everday about how much weight i lost or didnt lose. it is scary how quick you can become obsessed with weighing yourself :) my goal is to wear a swimsuit next summer & go to the beach with my husband and child so whenever i start to feel down or think that i might want to cheat and have those french fries-i think about next summer and i dont want to let myself down. WOW... that feels great to say that because for the first time i feel like i am doing this for myself and i dont want to let myself down... thanks for listening...writing this stuff down is like an emotional cleansing for me...it hurts to write it down but once i have-i feel stronger. i feel like i have the power to change my life!!!

hello everyone!!! i just wanted to share my good new...i am down 6lbs my first week!!! yeah...so excited!! i am so glad that i have found all of you to share in my weight loss journey. this week i have definitely understood why i have gained weight because i was eating way..way..way to many calories per day than i needed. i found i can actually live on 1200-1500 calories per day...gosh who knew!! :) m287668(that does seem prison like)...i have two sisters that are very tiny & petite and i have always been the heavy one so trust me your sister knows that she is overweight. but the hardest thing to do is to admit that to yourself and sometimes it's easier to think that you are really not that overweight..surely that picture of me isnt really what i look like...you know what i mean. my advice would be to talk to your sister and let her know your concerns about her health in terms of being overweight. also let her know that you are there for her and that you will help her on this journey. give her this website because reading everyone stories has made me feel a lot less alone than i did last week when i started this. it helps to know that so many people are struggling with weight issues and having success with this site. sorry...didnt mean to go on like that!! well..goodnight all and i will talk to you tomorrow!!

hi everyone!! well it's day 3 and i am still going strong!!! i love this program and i am really paying attention to what i put in my mouth for the first time in a long time. when i looked up some of the calories of stuff i used to eat...WOW... i dont want to imagine how many calories i was eating a day. it kind of makes me sick :( i am feeling so motivated reading everyones thoughts. i guess it makes you feel better to know that you are not the only person in the world that feels a certain way and that there are so many people struggling with weight issues. well i am off to make dinner...talk to ya'll later!! :)

hi everyone!! my name is tj & i am a binger & emotional eater also. this makes me feel better to hear all of your stories. i have been binge free to 2 days now. my binge food of choice is sweets. i could eat a whole box of little debbies and get like this high while i am eating. this hold that food has over us is amazing, it is hard to understand sometimes. i am trying to retrain my brain on how to respond to food. so this site is very helpful. talk to you later!!!

Hi!!! I am new to this site, today was actually my first day of counting calories & I did survive!!! I have over 100lbs to lose so I think that qualifies me right? I have been a yo-yo dieter, south beach dieter, weight watcher dieter, cabbage soup dieter (yuck) & here i am still overweight. I want to get my weight under control and live a healthy life. My goal is that next summer I actually buy a swimsuit that I plan on wearing in public and go to the beach with my family. I cant even remember the last time I owned a swimsuit. This site is really what i have been looking for and i am excited to be here and to meet some new friends that understand what its like to be overweight. thanks for listening to me!!!

Is It Possible to Go Natural?
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
