Hello,
I think your name says it all: there is more to life than being overweight and unhealthy, and you deserve it. Sounds like you're determined, so welcome to the site and hope to see you around. Also looking forward to hearing about your progress!

You can do this, If you have done gave up smoking and drinking. Best wishes.

Welcome! I can tell you will have a lot of success in your weight loss!

Good luck to you! A lot of knowledge and encouragement on these boards. Take advantage of it!

thank you for the encouragement, it helps a great deal. I'm the kind of person that needs a lot of positive reinforcement. My friends and family are seeming to get kind of tired of me talking about my weight lost all the time. I'm so happy, and proud of myself I can't help but tell everyone!

I went to the gym agin for an hour and a half. An hour of swiming laps, and a half hour in the dry sauna. God it feels sooo good to swim and sit in that sauna, being from washington I don't get to be that warm. LOL. Anyways after my workout I weighed myself again and I'm down to 281! That's a full three lbs from the day before!

I'm happy I'm taking control of my life, and doing this for myself. I look foward to talking to all of you, and making new friends. I didn't really care for most of the people I met at AA/NA meetings. It just isn't my cup of tea. Though what they tought me in out patient can defanitly be applyed to loosing weight. I need a support team. I ned a "relaps" pervention plan for thoes days I want to pig out. Along with new helthy eatting habbits and activitys to replace the old bad habbits and lack of activitys.

If you want any back story to why I was in out patient or going to na/ aa meetings feel free to ask. Its really not a tuchy subject. In fact, I'll just tell you now. About a year ago, my best friend of half my life died, acupple weeks of rolling around in my bed later a friend talked me into going to the bar and I drank... a lot, and made a horrible dicision to drive two blocks home, without my hedlights on. Stupid for many many reasons this I now know. I have lernd my lesson, and I'm still paying the price. People make mistakes. I'm just thankfull I didnt hurt anyone. I'm now out of treatment and still don't drink or smoke pot and I don't plan on it.

I love you all and hope you all the best in your weight loss... if you've alredy lost it congrats and good luck keeping it off! This is my checkin today and I wil hopfully be back tomorrow!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Welcome! It sounds like you're making a lot of positive changes!

I'm having a hard time getting motivated to goto the gym today! I have a lot of house work to get done today because my moms coming over. Time to kick my *** in gear!
Well I guess I should get off of here and start being productive!

* edited to tell you guys/ gals that I never made it to the gym... but I will hit it extra hard tomorrow. Gonna go on a small hike or a bike ride if my plans work out. If not ill just swim for an hour or two extra!

277!!! Sheesh I'm feeling so much better!
