when I saw the scale. I am finally under 300 pounds. The first time I learned I was over 300 was when I was in the hospital over a year ago for a suicide attempt and they weighed me. Of course that didn't make things any better. BUT, here I am today working hard and losing this weight finally. I am so proud of myself. Thanks to everyone on MFP for the support.

    That's wonderful! I have been there, too...I was in and out of hospitals because I was suicidal and the meds made me gain lots of weight. It's great that we haven't let it bring us down and we have broken free. It's all uphill from here! Way to go~! :)

    Congratulations! You WILL continue to succeed by staying with your self-developed/self-controlled program that works best for you. You'll do that by staying on track: one meal at a time/one day at a time. Each morning you awaken, congratulate yourself for another day of SUCCESS. Success on one day creates the motivation to achieve more success.
