in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Liz and I just signed up for this because I feel defeated when it comes to weight loss. After entering all my info I just found out that I am now obese. It's scary how I've gotten here but now I want to get out.
I'm looking for friends to help keep me motivated through this process. Hopefully, I can help motivate you too.

    I weighed 310lbs when I started out on here. In 15lbs I will just be overweight. I know that still sounds bad but I started off as morbidly obese.

    I know how you feel. I was obese when I started dieting, too. Losing weight can be quite hard sometimes, but you can do it if you try hard. :) Losing weight is very hard at first, because changing habits is difficult. However, once you acquire new habits, it gets easier.

    I just joined here today myself. I do belong to WW and love it. But I like to try different message boards to give and get motivation. I have 38 lbs to goal. I will do it one oz at a time. I have dieted so many times and if I was good at maintaining I would be good to go. This time I will get it off, and as a promise to myself will do all I can o to keep it off.
    Good luck.

    You can add me too. When I found out my weight was considered obese, I almost cried. How in the world did I get here. But I am learning how I got here, and more so learning how to get out and stay out.
    You have started, that is the hardest part, now just keep moving forward.

    Obese is a state of mind. According to the 'charts' I am obese but I don't Feel obese. I feel unsatisfied with the way clothes look on me. I want to be healthy and have a long, productive life. I just started tracking my food intake and I am learning a lot. I am not too concerned about losing pounds. What I am focusing on is achieving balance. Eating foods that are high in nutrients but low in fat and carbs. I am a carbaholic! I love crackers and tortilla chips. But instead of stressing when I 'fall of the wagon' I just get right back on the next day and try to do better. Maybe this helps you.

    I've been here only a few days, but know the feeling. A couple of years ago I had to renew my commercial drivers license which requires a physical & paper work to be filed by employer (me), The one comment my Doctor put in was," morbidly obese"... I was shocked that he put that in there, was angry, etc... I got this over the fax machine, good thing he wasn't infront of me! He was right though, even with that, it wasn't enough to move me into action.

    Welcome, glad your here doing something about it.
