I don't exactly have 300lbs to lose, but I'm close to it. My starting weight was 354 and I'm looking to get down in the mid-100s, maybe smaller since I'm only 5'3". And hey, my name's Sara too!

It's really intimidating when you've got so much weight to lose, it's not an easy thing and you don't see results as fast as others might, but we're the people that really need to get our lives together and show the world we're not all those stupid stereotypes.

You are on the right track. It isn't a diet - it's a food plan, a plan that will enable you to lead a healthy, much more fulfilling life. Try to keep that in mind - every single day. But, if you should fall off, don't quit, just get back on track. I have just experienced a bad phase and gained back 14 lbs before I woke up. I have severe restless leg syndrom which causes trouble sleeping which is a real trigger for my eating binges. I have to find a coping mechanism that works for me. I think you will need to develop coping mechanisms too - something to divert your mind from food. One thing I was told that helps - sometimes - "Eat to live, don't live to eat." I wish you the best of luck. I have 62 more pounds to lose, and I am determined to do it.

Hey,
I just got my scale so I have an official starting weight now. Hopefully that will spur me on to see progress and know that my work is gradually changing me. So far to go to find success. First goal is to get under 300 lbs to lose. I am hoping to hit that by March 1.
Hoping to see less of each other!

Just in case you didn't notice, this thread is a few years old.

It sadly also seems that the motivation originally expressed in this thread was lost by the OP.

it says she last logged in 6 days ago, so she's still here.

hopefully she's lost a lot and just neglected to "weigh in" and update her ticker.

I hope she didnt lose her motivation. The people on this site are so supportive, it is a great tool to get thought the life change.
