We are a group of individuals who weigh or have weighed 300+, or near there. This group was formed to provide a place for others like us to find support, inspiration, and hope. We are aware of the distinct problems that come with weighing over 300 lbs.
We want to invite everyone (roosters as well as chicks!) to join us in our journey. We share laughter and tears, heartaches and fears ... joys and celebrations. We also share what works for us and what doesn't.
We know the thread can move very quickly, and that people often make "personal" remarks and keep a number of conversations going. Please feel free to contribute even if you can't make personal comments all the time.
Finally, we also have several extra threads going on simultaneously such as Monthly Challenges, Weekly Weigh-ins, Recipes, Bios, Photos, Exercise, Info for Getting Started and more. Many of these threads are stickied at the top of the page. Please feel free to check them all out.
We have found this thread to be more than just a support group... we have found it to become a home. We invite you to join us
Here it is the beginning of the month and I feel terrible. I am getting tired of this weight loss dragging its butt. But I am managing to stay within my calories.
I've been pretty crabby with all this lately. I made it to 299 but PMS is so close I can just feel it, and that 299 will be gone for a week or more until TOM goes away. Stupid uterus! LOL
Ditto with TOM here. My scheduler is saying he's supposed to be here tomorrow. There goes the weekend! Ok, one positive thing about weight loss is that I can predict when he is arriving. He's been pretty consistent since losing 125 lbs. I could do without the pain though!!

I went up a whopping 5 lbs when TOM was here. But thankfully the day after I was down 6. Hang in there.

Oh, this gives me so much hope. I stopped birth control last August and for a while mine was steady 28 days like the pill packs. Then it spiked to 32 for a month, down to 21, 23, and now another 29+... I suspect the added hormones are still working their way out of my system (the reason I stopped after 10+ years of pills or depo), but I really hope I get to something stable soon...
Hi everyone! It has been so long since I checked in with you guys. Things have been hard health wise but after a surgery in December to correct some things in my tummy that were messed up then a quick trip to the hospital via ambulance for heart issues the first week of January... I'm finally feeling better. Not much energy but, better.
Looking forward to finishing what I started at 510 pounds!!! I have an appointment with the dietician on Thursday morning for a "Bod Pod". All of my doctors are in agreement that I need to not focus on what the scale says but on my fat %. So, I'm going to try to do that, build up muslce and take away any fat. Next step after I get to where I feel good at, (Dr.'s want me to shoot for 30% fat, I'm shooting for 29% lol) Then hoping to get my lower body lift once and for all!
I think of you often and pray for you guys too. So glad to see some familiar faces. I will try to come check in occasionally. I'm planning on joining a the Kroc Center today!!! I have an appointment in Coeur d' Alene and I need to go there and just do it.
God's Blessings to you all and so happy to see you again,
Annie (Aka: dogpal)
DogPal *pounce* *hug* *squishie hugs* So good to see you! I've been sending healing thoughts your way cuz I just knew something was up. Dang that heart of yours (your muscle in the left side of your chest, not the cutie little soul inside ya).
Please keep posting about what's going on with ya.
I'm in a self-discovery mode with my therapist. Painful crap, but trying not to emotionally eat or not eat.
Meanwhile, TOM is kicking my butt today, but I am coping.
