    Hey ladies. I am just recommitting to my health after yo yo ing in and out of impossible health plans or those that don't feel right. I just started a really wonderful program that uses hypnosis (so awesome). I'm in L.A. This one feels manageable and moderate. I was always fit till I had some health problems.

    They basically took me from a size 6 to a 16 in the matter of a few months. It was pseudo cushings disease. It basically pumps cortisol like nobody's business.

    I am loving myself through the changes in my mind, habits, and body. I want to feel like 'myself' again.

    I'm kind of enjoying my fitness pal and all of the communities. If you are in the L.A. area hit me up! I'm scared that it won't work, but I kind of know that since I'm making lifestyle changes and not 'going on a diet.' I think it will stick this time.

    Feeling very hopeful. I have about 60 lbs to lose in total. I'm starting with 40. Here's to your health!

    -P.G.13 (Ha! My acronym turned out to be that).

    Feel free to add me. Started at 318, lost 90, but fell off the wagon the last couple of months. I've gained back 5 lbs (booo) and am getting back in gear!

    I have another 60 lbs to go, or so :)

    so what happens when you stop being a BBW, do you quit all your friends because they know longer know the struggle like you do?

    what if one of your BBW friends becomes a non-BBW before you do, do you quit her? or does she quit you?

    this seems like a lot of work for just meeting people

    I am about to turn 50 y.o. and have been BBW for about 12 years. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, so my ability to exercise has plummeted, but I am now more motivated than ever to reduce the burden on my joints. I hope to find and offer support. I usually only log on during the week, but sometimes find time on weekends (still "old school" with cell phone). Anyone can add me. :flowerforyou:

    I'm loving this Topic Thread. :)

    I'm a BBW with a lot of work ahead of me but I've never been so motivated to shed the pounds. I'm on MFP everyday. Add me if you'd like.

    Well, I've always believed that beauty is in the eye of the beholder… so I'll let you make that determination yourself if I fit that category… But I am big and a woman! :-) Ticker is accurate for weight loss… and I have about 125 more to go. Today is Day 115 for me.

    I don't quit friends. Once you've been there, you can be a great support to others. Why do folks keep looking at this as a bad thing? I'm trying to show that I'm proud in my own skin and am on this track like all of these other beautiful ladies.

    I need friends that can relate to me and my goals. I am married and have 3 kids, I work too much and make too little to join a gym. I do workout DVDs(Jillian Michaels Body Revolution) daily and walk when I can. I am in the "obese" category, and I'm tired of it!!! Please let's motivate each other and get to be that skinny b!&@# in us all. Lol. Feel free to add me!!!
