I log all of my food very carefully. Ibam always under goal.

I don't log exercise and therefore don't eat extra. I only stay under my daily goals.

I thought my diary was open :) I am 39 and 5'4. I don't have a food scale, so I will get one.

Well, I did well for about a month and then spiraled down to the abyss and am now at my personal all-time highest weight: 301. I don't understand what the mental block is. I KNOW what is right and wrong. Why do I keep doing this?

You're an inspiration!!

Thank you so much!!

You look wonderful! And I bet you feel wonderful, too. :)

Yes! Pictures and measurements will be taken tomorrow. I'm not really sure how to go about the measurements, so any tips are appreciated. My belly....um...hangs at the moment. How do you measure that? :/

I definitely need to incorporate movement into my life. I have a desk job that I work 10 hour days at, then sit in the car, then want to just sit on the couch for the rest of the day. I know that just by adding a little bit of movement and really noticing what I'm putting into my body is going to make a big difference. I'm…

I just started, too, and I'm not that much less than you in weight. We CAN do this. I know it. I am also addicted to food. It is an addiction, really, to a drug as well...serotonin. When we eat food (especially carbs) it releases serotonin and then we become immune, in a way (this is how a doctor described it to me, lol)…

Thank you all, again, for the welcome! xo

Can you search for people on here by their user name? It's day 2 for me and I want to go check out all of your crushes/inspirations :P

You guys are so beautiful and I love you already :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm a noob that wants to be adopted :)

UGH...stairs. I actually have an anxiety attack if I know I have to go up even one set of stairs with someone else, because I know they will see me struggle. I'm so ready for change!

Thank you, ewhip17. While I can be magical at times, I know this is going to take honest dedication. I'm ready.

We can do this, Chad! *Ready? OK! Who's got the spirit? C-H-A-D! Gooooo, Chad!* ;)

Right on, Dennis. I can't wait to meet her. :)

New and would love all the friends/inspiration I can get! I can give it out, too. :)

Excellent suggestion. I will definitely do that!

Thanks so much, you guys! Having a support group of friends is really going to be such a big deal to me. I don't know anyone "in real life" that is as heavy as me, so this just means the world to me. Truly. :D

Congratulations and thank you for being an inspiration! You look fantastic!!

I'm just starting my journey and I want to thank you for being an inspiration :) You look fantastic! :)

Thank you for sharing your story. Today is my first day and I'm scared shitless. :)

I am just beginning my journey today. I need to lose half of myself in order to be at a somehwat healthy weight for my body. I am petrified. Anxiety over dying and not being here for my children consumes me daily. I am ADDICTED. I want you to know that I will keep reading your words over and over again as I approach this…
