    Ok, So Once again im trying to lose.

    It REALLY hit me when i went to a local theme park and could not fit into this one ride. We just went to disney world, and i rode EVERYTHING there, and i even rode all the roller coasters and just about everything at this local theme park, but i guess this ride was different.

    Well im 272, right now, and would like to get down to 180, or just under 200.


    ANY support would be grateful. THANKS!!!!

    hi Amanda, and welcome. We are about the same height; for me one big shock was going canoeing and the woman handed me the largest life-preserver they make (of course clearly labelled in big print....)

    You have made the right decision to be healthier! What kind of food/exercise plan do you want to follow? There's info and support for just about everything here --- everything HEALTHY, I should say, no support for starving yourself : )

    I can relate...
    Yeah...I weighed 277 1 week ago when I started the sugar busters diet. Since then Ive lost 5 lbs. I know what it feels like to not fit in the seat on a ride. the last 8 years Ive just been putting on extra wt every yr. My biggest fear is that I wouldnt be able to fit in the airplane seat when my husband & I go on vacation. We go every March, the seats are tight but so far havent had to move to first class were seats are bigger. Im determined to lose this extra baggage!! And I know we can do it!! Hang in there! We will feel so much better just to reach that under 200 lb mark again!!
