    Successes/struggles this week: had my cholesterol checked, results are poorly managed, dr says a lot of it is my weight so that is the kick in the *kitten* that i really needed. even though I've been at this a long time I've never really taken it 100% serious because i figured that i was still relatively healthy and i didn't have any real side effects from my weight. I know now that I do and this has got to stop.

    It's embarassing that I am easily the heaviest person here. Other than my doctor, I have never shared my weight with anyone, so this is extremely difficult, but here goes:

    I too was in the 300s. But we aren't here to judge or condemn. We were/are all in the same boat. I used to be scared to admit my weight too. I thought that people would laugh, gasp in horror, or throw fat jokes at me. However, I started MFP a few months ago, and things just changed for me. With support and motivation here and from my loved ones, I have no problem admitting the number. It's actually kind of refreshing to not have to hide something about myself. :) Just know that you won't have a 3 in front for long. A 2 will show up, and then eventually you'll hit onederland. Don't give up! And welcome!!!

    I'm not surprised with this result after last weeks whoooooosh. But I'm glad that I didn't gain, I was worried about gaining. I'm still continuing with my personal 1000minute challenge in a month and I'm in the last stretch.

    Weight lost/gained this month:

    Successes/struggles this week: I'm three weeks in and I've lost three pounds. NSV (already) - Jeans less snug. Disappointed scale showing movement up not down, but committed to logging everything I eat and to become accountable. Have made great choices at meals, but I can quickly snack my way through a lot if food, undoing my efforts. Oh, and it's just under 12 weeks til Christmas, and I'd love to lose 20lbs by then... I can do this.
