314 Pounds and Shocked!

[SandyL2002]

Welcome to the board Terri!

[iyamamaschke]

At my heaviest I was 302 pounds so I know how jaw dropping it can be to look down at the scale and not realize how far you have let yourself go. I was in the same shoes as you and was and still am determined to lose all of this weight. I would love to be your buddy to help you through, you can also have a look at my pictures and maybe they will help to modivate you. You can do anything that you want to, you just have to decide in your mind that you want it.

Welcome to the board Suga! Uh -oh, had a bad day yesterday? I hope today is better for you.

Welcome Suga . This way of life and eating really does work. Like Disco said, you just have to work it. Stay strong and if you feel weak " ", come visit the board and chat with others for strenghth.

Yeah I totally binged yesterday. I have mentioned that I wont be starting Atkins until the 16th, that I've been on Slim Fast since the day I went to the Dr.s but yesterday was a bad day in either case. I been so good only consuming 1200-1400 calories a day but yesterday I know I took in 3000 or more. :-(
You are right though I woke up this morning with a new determination

Sarah....Thanks I REALLY need a buddy/mentor as well as this board I would love to have someone to email or IM with aside from the board. My email and IM are the same---- suga_britchess@yahoo.com. My husband and I are committed to the 16th as our start date and to lose the weight. Thanks your comments are so encouraging.

Thanks 4me4once......I think Im finding my way around the board here (finally) but in response to your comment about the weight loss ticker, you can click on anyones ticker and it will take you to the site where you can make your own and then give you the code you just copy and paste into your signature. If I can help in any way feel free to ask, I am VERY computer literate.
Welcome to the board to you too.

Hi Terri! I know all too well the shock of discovering what you really weigh. YIKES!
Unlike slimfast and a host of other diets, you'll never feel hungry on Atkins and won't have your body screaming at you to binge. Come on over to the Century Club forum and join us folks with 100+ pounds to lose as well!!
