My first day of induction!

[kamon]

Hi everyone! I have been lurking here for several days and decided to finally take the plunge. I cannot believe the overwhelming support and motivation that I see. I am so jazzed as I just had my first meal on my first day of induction.

Like everyone else, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired...and fat. I am looking forward to a new way of life as well as new body image. I would be thrilled to lose at least 15 pounds by June 29 as we are going on vacation and would love to break that 200 mark. Emotionally, that would do wonders for my esteem.

Welcome and YES we are here, just give us time to wash up and rest our feet for a few. Stay focused and you'll be fine. The first 3 days are the hardest, get through them and you'll be more than on your way. Keep us posted. God Bless, Joe

Howdy Kamon and welcome to ADBB!!! You definetely came to the right place. I'm glad that you decided to take the plunge. Finally!!! LOL!

Yes, the support around here is just amazing. Just stick around and follow the plan. You will lose those first 15 in no time. Wishing you the best in your journey. Pease come by to my journal anytime for more support or just to hear me complain about the scale sometimes. LOL! Take care.

oh kamon i so agree with you about 'being so tired of being tired'. I think i was actually depressed for a while until i realized the only 'real' problem i had was with my body !! I was really unhappy with the way i looked and it also prevented me from being the outgoing, funloving person that i am !. But today was my first day on induction and i am super psyched !!! I recieved such sweet replies to my first post/pics that i just know this time will be different. Let's take pics 14 days from now and be soooo happy !!
LOL

Thanks so much for the support everyone! Ashley, I hear you on all counts. My self esteem is shot...I am a different person on the inside and hoping that soon, I'll be the person I want to be on the outside as well. Good luck and in two weeks let's share our progress!
