Hello,
My name is Carol and I just registered at the site. I have a lot of weight to lose and I need a little support from those who've been there. I'm somewhere around 345 right now and I want to lose about 165 pounds. I've given up on weight loss programs an am now following a lower calorie lower fat diet. That's what my doctor suggested and I know it works best for me. If I have to weigh in every week I just get discouraged. The weight always comes off quickly at first but as soon as it slows down I start obsessing. For now I'm not getting near a scale. I'll gauge my success by how I look and feel. I have considered gastric bypass but I really don't want to go through that. I've had two surgeries in the past year and that's enough for me. I also don't think I could deal with life after the surgery and the tiny portions of food. I know it's been great for a lot of people and I am really thrilled for all of them. Of course I know it's always an option if I can't get this in control soon. For all of you who've lost weight through any method, congratulations and keep it up. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all. :)
