Ready for a change!!

Levahna

Hi all. I'm ready for a life change. I've been big all my life but over the last few years, due to health reasons and a bit of laziness, it's gotten bad and at my heaviest I was almost 300 lbs. I've started making some positive changes and I hope this site it one of them. I've been on here about a week and lost 2 pounds so far. My final goal is a big one but I don't focus on that number or it makes my goal daunting and feel out of reach. . . so my only goal I focus on is the middle number of my weight changing.
I have a wonderful man in my life and supportive friends. . . but can always, always use extra encouragement as I begin this life change. So, if anyone has great ideas, helpful hints, anything that can keep me focus and motivated. . . I'll soak it all in!
Thanks,
Lee

Thats great. I know the feeling I got up over 300 and dont know how i got there. Something clicks inside you and you realize there has to be a change and when that happens you will absoluelty lose the weight. I am down 23 pounds already and it came off 2 at a time so keep it up.

I understand. My epiphany of realizing I was too big was when my Husband came home one day and flat out told me I was fat. It was hard to take, and it cause some pain, but this sight, along with better food choices has helped me lost 9 lbs. so far. It is a wonderful tool. It has never helped that I am a caterer and I have to fix and try food all the time. It was my fault I got this way though.
So if you need a friend, some encouragement, or just some good low fat/low cal recipes I can help you.
Good luck on your journey!:bigsmile:
