First time here
So glad to have found this community. I am now at 267 or so and was giving myself actual pats on the back for keeping at the same weight for over a year! I am sure that some can relate - the "at least I am not gaining" mantra. But now my legs hurt, my knees hurt, I have trouble standing, I get rashes under my arms from them rubbing against themselves, and every once in a while, by accident, I see myself nude in the mirror and am SHOCKED! just SHOCKED. I have always fought with the weight. I have always said that it was just "genetic" since my father was 360 lbs. But I am the one who puts the stuff into my mouth.
This time, I need to do it for my health, not for my looks. I don't even know what my goal is. Just to CHANGE my eating habits. For the moment, I am giving up bread/flour and all things sugar -( except that one teaspoon in my coffee-not ready for that sacrifice yet). Am reading all the material on Intermittent Fasting since I think that will be the easiest for me - counting points and food tracking has never worked for me.
So glad to have found you. And to have others who have to loose large amounts of weight...
