Plus size-Super size weightloss support

Hi all! :flowerforyou: You are reading the words of a truly super sized man! I need to loose 60 lbs, and have been here for about 3 weeks so far. I lost 3 lbs into the second week, but this week only lost 1/4 lb? Anyways, my pants are decidedly feeling looser, wooo hooo! :happy:
But yeah, us Big Dawgs, have a bit of a different journey than some of the wonderful people that don't have quite so much girth (and such) around the name-your-least=favorite-body-part. :drinker:

Oh, on a side note, from a newbie here, one thing I do to keep me motivated is to keep my Food Diary up on my screen ALL day long! I'm a geek, and do quite a bit of business via the web, so each and every time I jiggle the mouse, I see how many calories I have burned, and how many I need to consume. It REALLY REALLY helps me to plan my day with regards to both exercise, and eating.

thank you......i have never thought of it that way.....i to have a lto to lose..looking at the big picture i get depressed..so from now on it is "just for today"

Hello everyone,
It is thursday and I am checking in. I am not changing my ticker till next Thursday, That is when I weigh in with my DR. but if I am correct I have lost 3 puonds this week but I am not holding my breath on that one I have been eating out alot. I am very happy I met a great guy and we have been dating BUT he takes me out to these great restraunts and well I want to eat the good stuff. WEll I have told him that I can't continue to eat bad like this so he has invited me to his house for dinner and he would cook that is awesome. I am ready to have a man cook for me Antway he said he would cook something healthy so I would not feel so bad.

Good LUck to every one.

Hi All! I'm new to the forum, just signed up this week, but I have about 103 lbs to loose to get to my goal weight of 165. I'm so glad this support group is here. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all! :flowerforyou:

I'm in need to lose over 100...Zoe

Still no word from Christy? Where has our fearless leader gone? Christy, come back we need your energy and encouraging words!

One short note before my am walk.....

I can relate to losing my self-control over a plate of chicken wings! One key point is to remember those trigger-foods that make us weak, neglect our selves and our hard earned efforts! Just think... all week you have exercised enough to burn a pound --- only to eat it up within 15 minutes - over wings!

We must remember and reward ourselves with the knowledge that our hard work is deserving of praise and is key to our self-worth and healthy well-being! yeah those wings are good... the little demon sitting on your shoulder is nasty and pushy enough to make you forget about all that hard work! Over wings!

So many trigger foods ... know them and avoid them... if you must have one... think for a minute... can you only have one?? I know I can't. I am weak over food, i have a love relationship with food and yep I am a food addict! I deal with this by simply avoiding it all together.... it is easier that way.

Now that I have weighed my options and made a sound resolve to achieve my goals, I have banned trigger foods from my kitchen! ( No junk in my trunk, no sir...ee) When I do groceries, I limit myself to the perimeter of the store... stores are set up so you can obtain foods from all major food groups, by just sticking around the store - no aisle shopping (therefore nothing packaged)... If shopping on a budget, avoiding the trigger aisle can save you a bunch! Plus you pass on the teasing...

Mind over matter! Jo

Hope this helps!

Oh yeah...
Top Weight 263
Current 259
Goal 200

One misstep at a time, lol?! Anyways, I was at a Mens Weekend this weekend...OMG :drinker: :drinker: It was a blast, and now back to the "real world". yea!

Since we are posting stats:

Highest weight 426
Weight as of last Monday (I will weigh later this morning) 309

My goal is to get to at least 250.

59 lbs feels doable to me and that is a first.

Hi all,
I have been away from this site for a long, long time. I have just started back to watching my weight etc. for health reasons and because I finally want to do this. Since last week I am proud to report that I have lost 3 pounds and I too have about 75 to lose. I have to say that I was quite upset with raincloud's comment that she suffers with major depressive disorder and has resigned herself to the fact that she will never be happy. I too have suffered with this terrible debilitating disorder for the past 6+ years, and I just want to say that you can beat it! I did! I tried everything there was to try and finally came up with a plan that worked for me. The depression was one of the major reasons contributing to my weight gain over the years and now that I'm over it, the weight is starting to come off. So to raincloud, keep your chin up. You too can be happy again!
