Hi I'm 36, 5'7 and 393lbs. I'm married and we have 3 kids(two his, one mine). My life is crazy at times. I'm always taking care of everyone else, but now its time to take care of myself. I look forward to meeting some of you. I'm going to be calorie counting and using my elliptical. I want to be able to look in the mirror and not hate the person looking back at me. Its hard to except that I've done this to my body

Hi BOOSGIRLAUG22003 and Welcome!

I just saw your post at the 100 pound club one reason why you will stay on your plan today. Good for you for deciding that you will take care of yourself. I look forward to your posts!

Welcome!!

Hiii! And welcome!

I know exactly how you feel. Just that absolute disgust you have with youraelf that you let it get this far. But you do have power within yourself to change it!!
One day at a time - corny but true!!

Hi, I'm new too, you're not alone though, and if you ever need someone to vent to, I'm here.

Thanks everyone!

Welcome guys I'm not around consistently but I try to check in once in a awhile. we can do this. : )

I'm just back too after just over 4 years. Lost 170 pounds, gained it ALL back, plus 30, and spent a couple of years grieving that and trying to gather myself again. Have managed to get down by about 50 making sporadic efforts over the last year or so, but hope to be back and fully committed now. So totally get where you're at right now, but even a little bit of success breeds optimism. Be kind and gentle to yourself and before you know it you'll be flying and feeling good. Best of luck!
