Well the ball has started rolling. This group can be active.

I started this journey 17 months ago. Been dieting since I was 10 and obese already. In 43 years Ive done every diet, even weird ones but always yo-yod & on average put on 6lbs a year & a bit more for 2 pregnancies. 3 years ago I resolved that im just one of those who fail & my lot in life is to just be a big girl.

2 years ago my 25 year old daughter was attacked by a bird & speared in the eye. She moved back home, couldnt drive for 8 months & needed extensive nursing. Something had to give, so i stopped home cooking & moved to prepared meals & low fat. But she, hubby & me put on weight. I put on 20kg (45lb) in 6 months. I was shocked at the Doctors for my annual checkup. I have always worm loose shirts & elastic skirts so it snuck up. I cried at the Doctors. They couldnt weigh me on their scales - i was too heavy. I went to a freight company that day to know my start weight. 172kg (379lb). I went home & hit the internet totally gutted and discusted in myself. I didnt mention it to my daughter as it wasnt her choices but mine, nor her fault & she still had enough on her plate. (She has had 5 operations - includes a cornea transplant, in the last 2 years & is still blind in that eye but is back at work & hasnt lost her eye which was the chance at 1st. On the day of the accident we were told she may not make it & her 1st surgery was to save her life).

I knew I had failed constantly on low fat calories, WW, Jenny Craig, Israli diet, apple diet, grapefruit diet, live for life etc etc so I needed something different. Bought a book on low carb high fat. Science sounded sound so I closed my eyes in oure faith & started it like a focused mad woman. High fat just messed with my head big time. But I did it, not perfectly but did it.

17 months later Im at 42kg (96lb) down with so many many NSVs. The biggest is i have my mobility back. Before i couldnt walk supermarkets (ordered online). I slowly built it up 5 minutes extra a time. Now I walk 8000 steps with no pain. Down from size 28-30 to 18-20. I have not been as focused in 2016 compared to 15 & it has slowed down, but I have not put weight back on.

Im still constantly thinking about my WOE which is so mentally taxing when I have slow losses. O just have to refocus & back to the obsesive logging woman. I know chrissy is coming but there is never a good time to start as social events & excuses are here all year.

So ladies - i suggest we all start our own accountability thred here & purposesly support eachother. YOU UP TO IT???

I will copy this post to my new accountability thred.

too late I guess

Lets get this group more active!!! I can use all the support I can get and I think that anyone with as much to lose as me would feel the same. I need to know I'm not alone!
