Hello forum. I've been searching all over the place looking for a weight loss forum that isn't associated with a specific weight loss program. Glad I found this place! There are so many new people here how do you all keep up? Anyway, I'll try and make my story short & sweet. Yesterday I had my epiphany, decided to blog my weight loss journey & I created a Myspace page to keep track. I'm severely overweight, morbidly obese as the professionals like to say. I just had a son in September and would really like to be able to teach him how to walk myself, which means I need to be able to walk! I've gotten to the point that getting myself to a standing position is a painful task. So, instead of putting my whole story on here, I'm hoping I can get fellow Myspacers to support me on my page, or atleast stop by and say, oh damn..you do need to lose weight! I've posted my Myspace URL in my profile, because it won't let me here. I appreciate all of you for being here, wanting to support. There is no possible way I can do this without daily blogging & feedback. Thanks! ~Mikki~

Welcome to the forum, Mikki!

I think tracking your food is one of the best ways of holding yourself accountable. I just started doing it again myself, and I swear I must be eating 2/3 less calories than I normally scarf back.

Best wishes to you... and enjoy your baby!

Hey! I just added you on Myspace. I can't get a message to you on there at the moment, it keeps messing up. My name is Lisa and I'm very proud of you for taking control! I have to work now but I'll catch up with you later on today!
