Kind of Unsure

christinee

This is totally out of character for me to post something on the web, here I go.

I found this site by chance. I started to keep track of everything and I find it very easy to keep up with it, so far. My start weight is 198 and my goal is to get to 150 by the spring of 2008. I have tried various other methods of taking the weight off but none of them have given me the results so that I could keep the weight off. I have been up and down with my weight so many times, it is so frustrating.

My husband is very athletic and has a slender build. I on the other hand have always struggled with my weight. After 2 children and 2 recent back surgeries the pounds just seemed to add up. I must admit I do have a weakness for sweets and any carbs. They seem to be my best friends.

I hope this one works for me.

Hi Christinee: This site works for so many people, it is a great place to come every day. And I've been extremely happy that it works because I've tried on my own and had a hard time getting anything to come off. I've done well here and continue to see the changes... #1 more compliments from people. :bigsmile: Welcome!

Hi Christinee, welcome, I too have about the same goals as you only I started at 205 Lbs but 150 is my goal too. I have lost about 26 lbs so far and have a long way to go, but this site has helped me out immensely, especially in the motivation department and they have been very supportive when I needed it too. I have yo-yoed up an down for the last 6 years but this site works for me and I have confidence I will complete my goal but when I need help or just a kick in the pants to get going again I know I have a place to talk to someone. :flowerforyou:

Carbs are not necessarily bad. Sweets, though... When your calories are limited and if you are following your plan, you'll quickly give up any calories that don't give real sustanance. At least I did. I hoard the few I get for good things that fill me up and "nutrify" me.

Anywho, stick with this site and you'll do well. It's a great tool made better by the support you'll find from others using it.

I thnk you will find this place unlike any "diet" you have tried before. The main difference being...the support. There are hundereds of people here, just like you, just like me...and that makes a huge impact. There is no pressure, no "failure" as we have known it before. Just a constant flow of positve thoughts and wishes for all to be sucessful. In the "real world" it is difficult to maintain the type of support circle needed for weight loss and maintanance. People inevitably get busy in life and forget that you are struggling. No blame here, just a fact of life. But here, in this site, there is always someon willing to help share your thoughts hopes and dreams...and even a cup of tea.:drinker:
Enjoy, and good luck!!:flowerforyou:
