Plus I stepped on the scale recently and saw 196! I never want to see it that high again. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? My lowest weight was 131lbs. I felt amazing at that weight and I only gained because I moved, got a new partner and gave up work, so I became lazy.

I've recently realised it's pointless for me to even consider bmi, as I have huge boobs that obviously weigh alot, so my bmi will always be higher. |

USERNAME/REAL NAME: Saraisabel/Linda AGE: 68 BIRTHDAY: 12-06-1939 MARITAL STATUS: Widow SPOUSE’S NAME: CHILDREN/AGES: 5 children all grown and living with their families HOBBIES/INTERESTS: gardening/web surfing/playing cards PETS: 3 dogs, Skippy,Jack Sadie and 3 cats, Kitaro,Lucky, Lucy Lou TOP WEIGHT: 238 CURRENT WEIGHT: 184 GOAL WEIGHT: 140 HEIGHT: 5'5" EYE COLOR: Blue HAIR COLOR: Grey OCCUPATION: Retired GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Salt Lake City, Ut. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: I have lost all my weight several times. While I'm losing I never cheat. With me it's all or nothing. As soon as I get to my goal I stay for awhile and then I start eating all wrong again. Carbs are my downfall. Keeping it off is my problem. When I'm down to my goal I have such a high self image. When I'm heavy I have very low self esteem. Every time I gain my weight back I have to go back on depression meds. blood pressure meds, diabetes meds and cholesterol meds. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I hope I will change my eating habits for good this time. I just have to treat sweets and flour products as the start of weight gain again and the vicious cycle will begin again and the severe depression will begin again.

I'm on the WW diet plan and the weight is coming off much slower this time. I don't know if it is lack of exercise or the wellbutrin. Something is different. I've been on plan since May 11, 2008 and I've only lost 9 1/2 lbs.
