Plus size-Super size weightloss support

I am doing fine thank you:flowerforyou: . My weight is still going 3 steps forward and 2 steps back but I lost a clothing size and am getting ready to drop under the big 300....
The next week will be a little difficult since the grandkids will be here but I'm planning to hang tight onto my little wagon and not fall off of it again...
Hope everyone is staying on track:drinker:

I have 104 to go to get to my goal weight :noway: but I am so determined to get there!! I am so scared about acheiving it at the same time as being determined! does that make sense?? I am an emotional eater so when I am upset or stressed I mow down on whatever I can! I am trying really hard not to and the kids being home for the summer is making it more and more difficult lol as they stress me out on a daily basis, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT lol.
My husband is a wonderful guy who supports me in everything I do and I really hope that he can continue to help push me toward my goal!
I am so in need of as much support as I can get and I really hope that when I at least get off hte start I will be able to support anyone else who is on the same track Good luck to all of us "BIG" girls and guys :)

I'm starting a 3 day fast, detox. I know that it has been done for thousands of years and it has worked to rid your body of toxins and to up lift the mind. For the next 3 days I will be on Water and my coffee every morning. After that I will go on to V8 and fresh juices for 2 days and on after that will be 2 days of fresh fruit and veggies and on the last day will be added in whole grains.

I'll let everyone know how its going, but dont worry, I'm using vitamins and vitamin mixes for water!

Wow, Good Luck. I can't wait to hear about your progress!!:flowerforyou:

I have been seeing a DR. for 8 weeks now and I have lost 27.8 pounds since I started seeing him. I was 263 pounds in April of 2007, that is when my dr said I needed to lose 10 pounds, because my blood pressure was up. I started to lose the weight and when I lost the 10 I was like I am going to keep going. I have kept going but I hit a slump, so that is when I talked to my boss and she told me about a DR. she had been seeing and she losty 40 pounds. So I went to see him and I am very happy. When I started seeing him I was 239.8 pounds. I am now 212. I am 5'9 so I can weigh more than some people can, but I want to better my looks for me. I was a size 24 and now I am down to a 16. I need to keep going. I am very excited about this site. I hope to be able to meet people that are doing the same as me and can help support me and I can return the favor and support them too.. I have been over weight all my life and I want it to end I want to look better for myself.

Hey Christy Girl, it's good to detox once in awhile but it's good to remember that for the long haul we have to learn how to eat to live and not just live to eat. Right now my Dr. has me doing a protien, veg. and 2 fruits a day. I am struggleing with this right now. I have bee doing it for 3 weeks now and have 1 more week to go. I know why she is doing this I am a carb. junky, so I am learning to eat without them. WHEW:ohwell: I said all that so you will think about where you want to go from here. Just take care of yourself and learn to love Christy like we all do.:flowerforyou: Be blessed, Connie

hey everyone. Hope everyone is meeting their goals. Mine are coming slow but they are coming.

Well I kinds gave up over a week ago. I can't remember the last time I posted, or put in my exercise or daily food intake. What's funny is, since I haven't been putting in food or really thinking about what to eat or how much or blah blah blah, I haven't been eating a whole lot and I have lost a little bit of weight. I am really begining to wonder if this site is right for me?

I lost the weight before by another method, body for life, and I am wondering if I should just do that again. Now that I am armed with more information on how to keep it off, it might just work for me this time. I need to see more results, and I am not afraid to bust my *kitten* to get there.

I don't know...I have changed the way I think, I have been re-evaluating evreything in my life, I have been trying to figure out what makes me tick and what I need to do to make my life better. It's been frustraiting and confusing.
I just want a better life. I want to be happier, not all the time, just happier then I am now.

I know that this all comes down to whats in my head. This is all in my head. It's all about changing the way I think to achieve what I want in my life. Not just my weight, but my whole entire life. What would make me happy? And let me tell you, for me, that is not an easy question to answer, but I have been trying like hell to figure it out.

I don't know? Is it really that simple? This is my life and I am where I am because of what I have done. I don't like this life that I have, and I don't like this person that I have become, and I want to change it, all of it. It's all in my head and all I have to do is change the way I think.
:explode:

Weigh in was today...I am down a few inches and one pound. Kind of disappointing, since I am eating to lose 2 pounds a week. I am still baffled about my 4 pound gain the week before last...but i just got my Heart Rate Monitor the other day, and it seems that I was really overestimating my calories burned when I rode the stationary bike (the calorie counter on those things is not always accurate!)...and I did that a few nights a week...as directed, I ate my exercise calories, but if I wasn't really burning them...I shouldn't have been eating them...I burnt a good 400 calories today just walking and doing some push ups (I do them against a wall for now...it gives my arms a good work out). I worked out for an hour and feel pretty good about myself today.

Progress is coming slowly, but it is coming. I guess I was hoping I'd get a lot more of these pounds off before it started to slow down, but I will take what I can get. I know I am making healthier choices, and even if the scale doesn't reflect that now, eventually it will.

You got room for one more? I need all the help I can get. I try to work out and get so sore and tired the next day that I just give up for a couple weeks and I know that's why it keeps wearing me down so much to work out.

Highest weight 230lbs
Current weight 224lbs.
Goal weight 135lbs.

:glasses: Hello everyone. I just discovered this site. Seems to be just what I need. I lost 100 lbs. first go around and then let the lazy trend start and now the weight is getting back up there. Still need to loose 50 lbs. Hope to make tons of friends and get the weight off for good!

Hey gang,

How is everyone doing? I've been traveling all afternoon on just got to my hotel room about 1 hour ago. It's midnight local time in Kansas now and I've had a bit of a struggle thinking about ordering a pizza. Thankfully I cranked up my laptop and decided to check in here.

I think I'll wait a day or two have pizza. I feel better now.

I wish success on all of you.

Hi Tim, good for you, right now I'm fighting off popcorn, lol , but I to will wait at least one more day and then hopefully one more day. Keep up all the good work you're an inspiration to all of us.

Be Blessed, Connie

thank you for the support. I will let you know.

Hi all! I'm pretty new around here myself. Isn't this place fantastic?! Anyway, weight is just one of my major issues. But I am totally in this thing for the long haul. I have to keep reminding myself that this will take time and to be patient.

I started my journey back in March when I got on the scale at the doctors office. I couldn't believe how heavy I was. Never really hit me that I was fat until that day. I'm 38yo now and I want the biggest 40th birthday bash ever, so I've decided to make some life changes so I have that much more to celebrate!
