Great job on coming here, *and* for changing your diet! You have made healthy changes that are going to help your body! :bravo:

3 pounds in 3 days is super. Yeah, it is probably mostly water but hey, it counts! Less strain on the knees, you know :) Cutting out junk can only get you better, and healthier!

Welcome!

Hey MommaZ
 

My name is Amy and after I read your post I just had to write you. I also have quite a bit of weight to lose ( I weighed in at a whopping 235.5 this past Saturday) :ink: I've been married almost 19 years and I have a teenage daughter :dizzy:

I just started watching my diet this past Saturday. I really need extra support though. Do you happen to have Yahoo or AOL instant messenger?? Or maybe we can email each other once a week or so and help each other out some. :cb:

Let me know if you're interested....my email is [email protected]

Oh yeah.....I also have polycystic ovaries....... :p

Mommaz,

Welcome to 3fatchicks!! I found that just being on this site has helped my motivation level and keeps me focused. A thought regarding the water....the more you drink the less you retain...so drinks lots!!! I think the first step should be postive thinking. You can do it!!! Then decide what you are going to do...make small goals and start there..This week I am focusing on the water and low carbs (veggies) next week I plan to incorporate some excersize (haven't figured out what yet) Mostly my wiehgt gain is due to the hesterectomy I had two years ago and still to this day I have numbness in my tummy. Losing can be really hard but really worth it. 3 pounds in one day!!!! thats great and you should be proud of yourself instead of thinking what the loss was (water) its a loss!! At times I feel I would shave my head if it meant a loss.

Keep up the good work! You will find plenty of support here just jump on in.
