2013 for me to lose pounds

hello my name is debbie and i found this site and hope i can met others that struggle with there weight as i do. i am not the normal over weight i am more the morbit obese and when i weighted myself on jan 14 i was 423 pounds and oh boy something inside me said debbie u got to get this weight off. i an all i can think in my mind is i seen them shows were women were so big they were stuck in there beds. i dont want that at all. omg i would freak. so it is time for me to get a grip on this issue and i sure hope i can find others that have the same problemas i do. my goal is to get down to at least 300 pounds. and i know it going to be days i could scream.. but i going to try very hard...:flowerforyou:

  • Hi Debbie and welcome.

    Here's a great link to the personal website where a woman and her brother were both over 400 pounds...it's very motivating. I think the woman is a MFP user as well.

    Hi Debbie! You have come to the right place for support without judgement, WE are all in this together and are here for you. I know it may seem overwhelming to you right now, but I urge you to break it down into small goals that are reachable and go from there. Concentrate on say, your first 10 lbs. and making one small change in your life, like eating with smaller plates. When you become successful with that, set another small goal. Just remember it's a process! Good luck and feel free to add me as your friend.
