Arrow 300+ and Ready To Try Again.... 653

WELCOME !!!

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 and hope. We are aware of the distinct problems that come with weighing over 300 lbs.

We want to invite everyone to join us in our journey.
We share laughter and tears.
We share what works for us and what doesn't.
We often use a "Topic of the Day" for discussion.

Motivational Monday
Tuesday Tips
Wednesday Wish List .. and What you are doing to obtain it.
Thankful Thursday
FUN Friday ... don't wait until you lose your weight.
Sit-up Saturdays - any physical activity
Share your Success Sunday


These are not required topics ...just ideas to share. We often find them very helpful. We also share heartaches and fears ... joys and celebrations.

We have several extra threads going on simutaneously such as Monthly Challenges, Weekly Weigh-ins, Recipes, Bios, and more. Please feel free to check them all out.

We have a bi-weekly 2x2 Challenge.
Our goal is to lose 2 lbs in 2 weeks.
We have a long term goal of losing 300+ lbs within our 300+ group in 2005.

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.

WELCOME!

Count me as a zero for the 2x2. At least I didn't gain. In the last two weeks I have had 2 birthdays and a moderate flu (or a really bad cold, I don't know which). I have been eating whatever I please and missed my exercise days 8 times. But I was really sick, so I'm not down on myself, except for the eating. I still feel like a soppy wet dishrag.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!!

I wish I could reply more, but I missed three days of work last week, and I'm running to catch up. Best to everyone - Ruby

I am a weird case.
At the end of the last 2x2 I gained.
Soooo.. I lost more than 2 in this challenge ... but ...
most of it was just getting me back down to my lower weight.
But I can still claim one pound for the group totals.

I want to remind everyone about OPRAH today.
She has her bootcamp show. And some MAJOR SUCCESS STORIES !!!!
Be gentle with your comments on the guy with all the skin hanging....
When I finally lose my weight... I will be looking like him myself.

Hello Ladies!

I've had a miserable weekend... well not so miserable. I was sick However, it didn't kill the reservations I had made to pamper James for his birthday. We had fun. Yesterday and today I'm paying for it I must admit though... dayquil is awesome. Cleared me out and made my aches go away. I weighed in this morning. 354lbs, down 4 pounds, but I think was because I was sick and really not eating much. Mostly was eating just liquidy foods like soup and softer foods.

I'm feeling a bit better, but still a bit wobbly on feet. I just wanted to come post and let everyone know I am alive and we did follow through with our plans for the weekend. Just not at full force heheh...

Happy Valetines Day!

Take care everyone
Sue...

SOO many posts. I just cant keep up! Things have been CRAZY at work and at home. I had two REALLY bad days....as far as staying on plan goes. Actually, more like 1 and 1/2 really bad days...most of Saturday and Sunday. UGH. I will eat right this week and drink lots of water and hopefully undo whatever damage by weigh in on Saturday.

The worst part is that since I ate off plan I am craving all kinds of stuff...it is driving me mad. I did soooo well for like 2 months and crashed and burned. *sigh*

I have a headache and I am going to lay down for a bit. Have a great day valentine's all!

Hey ladies, I'm basically just checking in for the 2x2 ending. I've been up and down and up and down these past two weeks. I don't know the exact date that the challenge started but on Feb 1st I was 340 or so.. and even though I went down to 335 it seems I'm back up at to 337. Its still a 3 pound loss so I'll take it. I know I'm weighing random times and I dont know if that plays in so much but, I'm not going to complain! 3 pounds for this past 2x2 challenge!

I don't know if I'm going to sign up for this next 2x2 or not. I noticed that with the impending "weigh in" I was constantly weighing myself but not staying really focused. I think I'll still try to weigh in with you gals when it ends but I think I'm gonna keep my mind focused on the further goal

I've kinda had a revelation last night.. something that I plan to write in my journal later, that I think will help me with my lack of motivation... its a mindset thing and a responsibility thing so hopefully its me checking into reality. To give the "gist" of it.. I think I've been sticking with the "I don't wanna" mindset that I had growing up with my parents.. The "I don't care whats best for me, I don't wanna just because you told me to do it and I want to make you angry".. I think I still feel that way often.. rebellling against myself and others with my lack of determination. Eehh! Ill have to write about it in my personal journal

But after thinking that. .I did tons of crunches, situps, and leg lifts last night.. then this morning I woke up at 8am, ate my healthy oatmeal, worked out before lunch, ate a healthy lunch, had a healthy dinner... and I plan on working out again tonight. I did 2miles earlier and I hope to do another 2 this evening.

I'm iffy about taking "energy" "diet" pills, I've really considered it but I think I still might try to find other healthier ways to get energy.. like hot green tea in the morning, showering in the morning (which I loathe!), or other things. I'm trying! But I definitely need to find a source of more energy.

Okay, Ill stop rambling.. I'm in the middle of homework thats due by midnight and I'm just trying to distract myself :P I'll do replies tomorrow! Hope you are all well!
