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!

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) I've been married almost 19 years and I have a teenage daughter

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.

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

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

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.
