in Introduce Yourself
I am looking for some support worthy friends to help me along my weight loss journey. I am brand new and have never been on this site before. I am currently in the 300lb range and desperately want to get down to 200lbs. I just recently got married to a wonderful man who has been with me through thick and thin literally. When he met me I was a size 10 and now i am a size 22-24 i am depressed and angry with my looks all the time. I felt uncomfortable in my own wedding dress and hate my pictures. I just want to feel good. I have a honeymoon in Dec we are going to PDC and i am excited to go but I am scared of flying the size i am, i am thinking it will be embarrassing, I also don't want to be wearing a full get up because I feel uncomfortable wearing a bathing suit. Sooo I am determined and needless to say looking for some supportive friends to get me through the journey ahead...

Looking forward and not backward for myself, my husband and my friends...

    Hi there,
    i joined two days ago and im struggling already.
    I did the baby food diet for 2wks and it made me very ill.
    Then i just got used to eating hardly anything and my body went into starvation mode and stored fat.
    I have lost a little by eating properly and exercising.
    When i have a bad day i do a few exercises it makes me feel better.

    Read you note and would like to help if I can. The trick to losing is this site and writing down every bite that goes into your mouth without cheating.. This the only way you can see how much you really do eat, everybody thinks they don't eate that much.The site will assign you the amount of calories automatically based on the time you set up in the beginning. I would look at the stress in your life first and some how reduce it if possible Sounds to me like you are an emotional eater and that is the toughest to overcome because you have to out smart your desire to calm your stress with food. WRITE IT DOWN, WRITE IT DOWN, and follow the suggestions and it will work. Besides think about when you are a size 10 again how you will be able to go shopping for clothes that will motivate you. Good luck

    Don't beat yourself up about it. You sound very determined to kick some *kitten* and I believe you will. You just take it one day at a time. It gets easier everyday :)

    Hi, I'm Dana. I've been struggled with diets and healthy eating since I was 20. I gained 10 kg after every diet...i can't deny I love my food.
    On last January I weighted 104.8 kg (16st 7lb) I was ashamed and fed up with myself. I joined slimming world but the didn't actually offered all the support I needed, therefore I gave up two months later.
    since May I've started diet on my own, mixing my knowledge and also using successfully Mt Fitness Pal. I could describe myself as being too lazy to join a gym, as my work involves physical effort.
    The first couple of weeks were the hardest ones, as I eat very less amount of food in order for my stomach to get shrunk. i follow a special diet eating same food for a day (i.e. only fruits or only steamed veggies, only grilled chicken breast or fat free cottage cheese/Quark cheese). For the next couple of weeks i have kept the same sort of food only for a meal. At present i introduced a day out of 7 for to indulge myself (eating what I want to with no restrictions) but the next day is really bad lol food wise.
    I had to take it easy, I knew is gonna be hard work but with a happy end.
    At the moment my weight is 92.5 kg (14st 8 lb)...nearly 2 stones lost.

    Good luck everyone! x
