I got up tp my highest of 350lbs after having my son 7 years ago. last year I decided enough was enough and I have changed my lifestyle which included giving up smokes. ha ha I have lost around 80lbs but still have 90 to go. I am looking foward to meeting you all. I have looked around the site and it has helped to inspire me further.

Oh my God 80lbs - thats fantastic!!! well done!

I've only recently joined myself so...hi from me to you :-)

Welcome, Sarah and Finn! This is a wonderful place to get and give support... I hope you'll both like it here.
You're both doing so well with your weight loss... keep up the great work!

Hi Sarah and Finn!! Want to add my welcome and look forward to seeing you around the boards!

Sarah and Finn!!!

I've only been lurking on these boards for a few months and I think I'm addicted!

What are you two doing in terms of a weightloss plan? Counting calories? Working out?

I, myself, just cancelled my gym membership b/c DH and I just bought a new house, and unfortunately I wasn't utilizing my membership as often as I should. So I thought I'd save us a couple of bucks and took up walking instead. I've also been eating 3 good meals a day and 2 healty snacks (with the exception of this weekend, b/c I just blew it)

These boards are a wonderful source of support, and I look forward to hearing back from you both!

Hi Chanty

Sounds as if you are off to a great start. Congratulations on your weight loss.

No, I don't count calories, but I know pretty much what things are, and eat a lot of fruit and veggies with smaller portions of meat and chicken. I cook in a crockpot on weekends and have freezer meals.

I also do a lot of walking, and bought some smaller equipment for home such as Danskin workout balls, a "pole" to do stretches, etc.

Since you are into walking you might want to check out our Coast to Coast Challenge... a group of us are adding our miles together and walking from Hopedale MA to Seattle WA. We are currently in Ohio.

See you around the site!
