Hi, I'm a self employed wife who is just five pounds less than her biggest weight or so I found out this morning. I'm 5'4 and weigh officially as of today 300 lbs there I said it.

I have joined this forum hoping to get help and support while offering both to others. Yesterday I bought everything I need for the south beach diet and plan on starting the program today. One of the reasons I chose SB was that I had done it in the past and was so successful that it bears repeating. I am a sugar addict of major proportions. I eat extreme.

Lately I've been suffering from chest pain, well for the last 3 days, I don't think it's a heart attack, I think it's because I went bowling the other day and well at this weight things tend to hurt.

I want to do this, it's time for me to do this...

I look forward to getting to know everyone and lending support as well...

Hey there!

A few forums you might want to check out...first, we have a great, active South Beach forum with lots of recipes, ideas, and tips, so check that out. We also have a group called the 300 lb club for those members who have starting weights of 300 lbs or more, or the 100 lb club for those on their way to losing or who have lost 100 lbs or more. Any or all of these would be great for you!

Jump on in, get to posting, and keep going. Can't wait to get to know you better!

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!! You have come to the right place I am new here also and it has been great everyone is very supportive.
