300+ Club - For more than ten years!.................

For the first time in more than ten years I am FINALLY under 300 lbs.!!!!!!! Yip that's right folks, as of Sat. Oct. 10, I weighed in at an amazing 297, thats a total loss of 45 lbs. :carrot:. I still have a loooong way to go but I have the will and determination to succed this time, I guess my head is finally in the right place. I don't want to make it seem like I haven't had some difficultys (like major plateus :() but I seem to be moving past that and the weight has been coming off steadly. I tried losing weight last year but didn't get too far. I was really battling with myself over food. You know how that works, with the little devil sitting on your shoulder telling you to go ahead and eat, you deserve it, don't you? Even though I never really was hungry(in my body).My brain would want to eat. It's hard to explain, but most of the time I felt like I couldn't feed my brain enough, though my body was physically stuffed, uncomfortable and at times on the verge of being sick, my head was still hungry!!!!

Well I started again May 27, 09. Like I said my head is now where it should be, no cravings, no battles with myself over eating. Why? I'm not sure, I have now given myself permission to love myself and you know what, that little devil was replaced by the voice of an angel telling my that I can lose weight and that I can do anything I set my mind to, because I AM WORTH IT!!!!.

Ok, I'll jump down off my soap box now :).

Wishing all of you great success in all you DARE to do!!!:D

Wooohoooooo well done you! :carrot::bravo::cp::cb:

Thanks soooo much SuomiSara. Looks like you made great progress yourself :). Doesn't it feel good to be out of the 300 zone? I recently bought a wii fit and the box said the weight limit was 330. I started to worry and I had to actually think for a minute about it and it dawned on me that I was no where near that number. I just love those victories!

Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations! That is super! You are an inspiration to us all!

WOW!!! That is so awesome!!!!! you must be so proud! Now kiss that 300 mark goodbye forever and never let it darken your doorstep again! You've made amazing progress so far and I can't wait to see you go further!!

WOOHOOO! Awesome! You rock and you can totally do this!

I'm so happy for you!!!! YEAH!!!

Well done :) It feels huge doesn't it to unearth numbers you haven't seen for sooo long... really well done and also a well done for being in that place where things seem to come together and make sense, hallellujah for that place!!!
Enjoy the moment, there'll be many more to come. I got under 20 stone to 279 pounds for the first time in 5 years and it feels good :) If only the years came off too, altho it kind of feels like they have in a way.

AMAZING AND CONGRATS!! WHAT A WONDERFUL FEELING!

This is such a huge, huge deal. You deserve all sorts of kudos and cheers!

I cried when I passed 300 for the first time in over a decade. Bawled like a baby, I was so happy. It seemed like something shifted in front of me. Even at 299, I could say that I didn't weigh 300 lbs.

Congratulations, you.

:carrot:

I feel all warm and fuzzy, I wish I could reach out and give each one of you a hug :).
