Terra (sanct) guess there's 2 of you now, oh boy am I going to get confused.

Awwwwww, Loves.......stick with it. You can do it, for your sake and your son's sake. With the support here, you can do it!!!!! I think even a drop of 20 lbs will make all the difference. You should see that goal very soon. Try to look at this in small increments. It's much easier to reach for 5 or 10 lbs at a time, then it's not so overwhelming.

Hang in there. come here often for support, whenever you need it. There will always be someone here to answer you. BTW, here's a most excellent article posted by Summer. It says it all This is not a hair commercial

She's Seesko, and I'll be Terra.

Barb,

Thanks. I just realized how depressed I sounded in my post. I'm really not feeling THAT bad. I'm just ready to rid myself of this burden I've created for myself. I sure hope I stick with this.

Glad to hear it Loves, and glad your spirits are staying UP!!!!

Hi There... Yes, I am working on loosing more than 100, maybe more like 200-250. So far, it has been easy, but I am only about 1 week in.

Good Luck.

Currently at 309.0 from 328.0 and got plenty to go...

Welcome

Well, my boss has made the commitment to go back on Atkins too. He lost 50 pounds, but gained back 10 during Christmas. I think he has about 30 pounds to go. It will make it easier around work, having someone else on the same diet. Unfortunately, there are two non-weight-challenged people in the office. One in particular thinks its fun to tease us by eating chips and M&M's in front of us and talking about how yummy they are. Mean, mean mean! I don't think he really realizes how hard that is to deal with during induction.

Chicago B&T.......Welcome!!!!

What part of the chicago area are you from. I am from the west burbs.

Loves, I would just sock him in the eye!!!!

You can do it. Even if it's one lb. at a time.
My goal is to lose a total of 123 lbs. I believe it can be done. It may take longer than I had hoped ---- but, there are other GOOD health benefits to experience with this WOL, as well!

At my highest weight, I was 380 pounds. As of this morning, I was 232.5. That's almost 150 pounds gone. I had made it to the 150 pounds lost but have had some issues with bloating a lot. (some bad food choices over the holidays) I still have around 82 more pounds to go.

If the 110 pounds seems overwhelming, aim for a 10th of that. Get to that loss and aim for another 10th and so on.(like in 10 pounds increments.)

I started this WOE about six weeks ago. I weighted 299. Now, I weigh 276. I was down to 272 but weight keeps fluctuating. No cheating, I swear. Smiles. My goal weight is 130. So I had 169 pounds to lose. Now, I have 146 to lose. I am trying to realize that I am changing my lifestyle and not go crazy when the scale is not my friend.

Peace, Joanna
