Default Hey ya'll....starting today with discodon!

Hello,

My boyfriend has already introduced himself...discodon. The both of us are starting our new WOE today. We both have a bunch to lose and are both determined that this is it. Both of us are serial dieters and hopefully together...this time will be different. Actually, no hopefully...THIS TIME WILL BE DIFFERENT!

I am the one who suggested this particular diet. I have tried it a couple times before unsuccessfully. Don has also tried it once...but not seriously.

But more about me............

I am 21, 5'4...and according to that awful scale this morning...I weigh 318 on the dot. I have been dieting since 12 with my lowest weigh being 145 my sophomore year of high school....and it has been going uphill ever since.

I have never actually lost more than 30 lbs on a diet. Part of me thinks its absolutely impossible and I am just going to be fat FOREVER. But the littlest part still has hope and I am using all of that hope I have left to do my best this time around.

I guess that's enough of an introduction...I'll see ya around!

blugurl: Welcome to your new home!!!! Glad you two have come to be with us. This board is AWESOME for help, questions and major support. I don't know what I would do without them.

Do us a favor, next time you feel that it is impossible.. Go to the before and after photos and the success stories. These are people who I am sure felt the same way as I know I have as well. This is my second time around, I know I can always find support here and come here often.

Good luck and let us know how you're doing!!!
