Hi! I'm new here. In need of losing a whole lot 'o weight. I've been losing the same 10 pounds for 2 years and it's time I do something about that!

My weight got up to 330 in 2002 and I flipped out, realized I had to do something about it. I lost 90 pounds, then life happened. I met a wonderful man, got engaged, got married and weight loss was put on hold. I gained back some of the weight so now I'm currently at 271, in the last two years I've been bouncing back and forth between 270 and 280.

I've plugged in my Diet Power software and am using it again, hubby and I are joining the Y on Wednesday so we can go swimming (and I like the rowing machine) and on September 1st I'm starting belly dance classes. I'm hoping with the combination of these things I can stay on track and lose this weight.

One thing that has finally helped me I think is - I'm not going to be 100 pounds lighter tomorrow. If I only lose 1 pound a week, or even 1/2 pound a week I'm okay with that. Eventually I'll be at a better weight and that's what matters.

Hi Euphony!

:wel3fc:

As someone who once weighed 330 lbs, I can relate.

One step at a time, right? You know what you're doing :) Great job on getting back to exercising at the Y.

You can do this! Best of success!!!

Thanks so much Faerie! Yep I guess you could say I know what I'm doing :smile: So it's back on the road for me!

Wow I don't know how advertising works on this forum, but I feel a bit dirty now that I even use the software.

Thanks mandalinn82! I just noticed his post was gone so I deleted the quote out of my reply. No reason for that to be hanging around!

I've been perusing through the boards, lots of information - a little overload, but this looks like a wonderful place!
