    Successes/struggles this week: had my cholesterol checked, results are poorly managed, dr says a lot of it is my weight so that is the kick in the *kitten* that i really needed. even though I've been at this a long time I've never really taken it 100% serious because i figured that i was still relatively healthy and i didn't have any real side effects from my weight. I know now that I do and this has got to stop.

    It's embarassing that I am easily the heaviest person here. Other than my doctor, I have never shared my weight with anyone, so this is extremely difficult, but here goes:

    I too was in the 300s. But we aren't here to judge or condemn. We were/are all in the same boat. I used to be scared to admit my weight too. I thought that people would laugh, gasp in horror, or throw fat jokes at me. However, I started MFP a few months ago, and things just changed for me. With support and motivation here and from my loved ones, I have no problem admitting the number. It's actually kind of refreshing to not have to hide something about myself. :) Just know that you won't have a 3 in front for long. A 2 will show up, and then eventually you'll hit onederland. Don't give up! And welcome!!!

    Weight lost/gained this month:

    Successes/struggles this week: I'm three weeks in and I've lost three pounds. NSV (already) - Jeans less snug. Disappointed scale showing movement up not down, but committed to logging everything I eat and to become accountable. Have made great choices at meals, but I can quickly snack my way through a lot if food, undoing my efforts. Oh, and it's just under 12 weeks til Christmas, and I'd love to lose 20lbs by then... I can do this.

    Successes/struggles this week: I started drinking a detox drink again, but I haven't made it to JUST the drink.. I'm slowly easing into it, so hopefully I will get to it at least one full day with just the drink this week. that is my goal. I've been eating mostly fruit/oatmeal and veggies, but I still have other temptations, such as hummus. - I just want to do ONE DAY with just the drink. ONE, before Friday. I CAN DO IT!

    Don't be ashamed I packed on lots of weight and was scared to get on the scales. Joining MFP has really motivated me and I'm a stone and a half lighter. Just go at your own pace and the rewards will come. I think you've come to the right place and the number will drop before you know it. Well done for being so brave and welcome :)
