3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

My name is Rachel and I am fat...

Ok, I said it... that is the 1st step!

Actually I took the first step already and enrolled in a program at my local hospital. I am 5'5" and currently weigh in at 241 lbs. I have 2 DA this week at the hospital for glucose and EKG, stress tests, blood work, etc... then I am on my way! I will be following a very low calorie diet through 100% hospital supplied food and shakes (which I tried at orientation and taste good so that is one hurdle accomplished).

I have a gym membership and have started going regularly to kick off. My first "session" (weekly) at the hospital is on Halloween at 6PM (thank God because I would otherwise binge on candy). I will weigh in and measure there weekly and have a support call to make weekly also.

The program I am starting requires a daily MINIMUM food intake and exercise minutes to be recorded, and POSTED at our meetings along with weight and measurements on a big board for the whole class to see. I know this will keep me motivated!!

I am doing this for my health and self-esteem but in the end the goal is to lose 91 lbs and then have a baby! My husband finally agreed that he is ready but now I am too heavy and a pg would be high risk.

Off I go! See you all daily!
