WELCOME!!

We are a group of individuals who weigh or have weighed 300+, or near there. This group was formed to provide a place for others like us to find support, inspiration, and hope. We are aware of the distinct problems that come with weighing over 300 lbs.

We want to invite everyone (roosters as well as chicks!) to join us in our journey. We share laughter and tears, heartaches and fears ... joys and celebrations. We also share what works for us and what doesn't.

We know the thread can move very quickly, and that people often make "personal" remarks and keep a number of conversations going. Please feel free to contribute even if you can't make personal comments all the time.

Finally, we also have several extra threads going on simutaneously such as Monthly Challenges, Weekly Weigh-ins, Recipes, Bios, Photos, Exercise, Info for Getting Started and more. Many of these threads are stickied at the top of the page. Please feel free to check them all out.

We have found this thread to be more than just a support group... we have found it to become a home. We invite you to join us.

Good morning all...

Yesterday we went to this place called Dave and Busters for my sons 19th birthday. We had a great time. I had nachos..which sucked. They were not normal nachos..they had all the fixins on it except instead of refried beans it was black beans and after all the toppings wee on it..they melted everything or deep fried it. Either way..I didnt like it! All that grease was not good for me. So I only ate about half of it.

Tonight is the Broncos game..yeah! I so do love football!

Hope everyone has a good monday

Getting ready to head to the pool. Even if I haven't lost any weight, I have heaps more energy. My doctor told me it would be nice if my outside looked as healthy as my insides do.

Has anyone heard from Annie?

Haven't been around much, ladies! I've been thinking of everyone though. Had a bad weigh-in last week. My first bad weigh-in actually. I gained 2 lb and it sucked. *sigh* And I let it get to me over the week I think, letting myself slip a couple of times where as I have been so successful up until now. However, I worked out really hard all week long.... and that's good... just slipped up on some food choices. Going to weigh-in today, and so nervous about it.
It Was SUCH a beautiful weekend here in north central Indiana! Today is chilly and gray though, and I feel like Winter is looming ahead... poking my brain with a stick saying "Brace yourself! I am coming! Muahahaha!" I really like Winter until after Christmas. Then I get over it really quickly, and it always wants to hang around until April. Ugh.

Hi everyone,

Sorry it has been so long. I've kind of just been hiding in bed with my dogs because I've been really low. The meds are finally starting to help I think though. I didn't expect the Zoloft to do anything but it seems to actually be helping.

Not sure where I am weight-wise, going to wait a bit longer to weigh.

Oh! I also got a new little puppy! His name is Oscar and he is a shih tzu!

Hi Ladies...tonight was a bad night and im kicking myself right now..I ate good all day and then i dont know what happened but my husband brought home pizzas from costco he got the mergherita for me and the 5 meat combo for him ( he doesnt like tomatoes) and mine was very good so good that i ended up eating 4 pieces ( yikes i know) but i didnt have any of his pizza but then after i ate that i found out that it was 630 calories a slice ( i thought it would be lower cause it seems like it would be a healthier pizza) anyway, then i had a craving for chocolate so i had one serving of dark chocolate bliss so i didnt go over my calories but came very close but i am just going to get back on with my diet tomorrow and i will burn alot of what i ate tonight off with my circuit training workout cause that burns 1500 cals but i am just so mad at myself cause i didnt stick to what i said i was only going to eat 2 pieces but it was soo good oh well whats done is done and im not going to let it ruin the 40 lbs that i have lost soo far..i have come to far i just needed to come on here and vent a little bit to you ladies soo thanks for listening

Well ladies, I lost 7 lb this past week! I'm baffled.... but I'll take it. This makes 32 lb total since I started Sept 18th. One more week left in my Y challenge... I'm really going to try and step it up this week. My partner and I are tied for second and oh so close to first place. We wanna win so bad! I'm kinda nervous for the challenge to end because of the motivation factor, but at this point I'm pretty confident that I will never turn back.

Did I mention all my pants are failling down?

morning ladies...

hippie: WTG on your losses!!

Pink: Glad you are back. post a pic of you new puppy!

hb: sometimes we just have to splurge. I know its easy to get down on yourself when you do..but try not to.

Catherine: I wish there was a heated pool here..I love swimming. Which it stays so hot here for so long in arizona you'd think they would keep the pools open longer..but nope! I have not heard from Annie..hoping she is doing better

As for me: Yesterday was terrible at work. The phone rang so much couldn't get much done. Hopefully today will be better. I watched football and sewed last night. I had not worked on my quilt in a while.

Hey ladies...kind of going through some things at the moment. Been MIA, just not really talkative. I don't handle stress well, as mentioned previously...

I hope everyone is well. My weight is up, down, up, down...annoying.

Hey guys!

Tonight I ate PIZZA and CHOCOLATE!!!
These are my 3 kids

Hello Ladies

I am new to this website and just started dieting on Monday. Tonight we had a roasted chicken dinner with all the fixings. It was extremely difficult but I was able to remain focused. I have a long journey ahead of me but I am ready...

Heather

Hey Everyone!

I am not new to the site, but new to posting. I've been lurking around here for a few years now and it's time to get involved! I haven't been able to start working out yet, which is a total buzzkill, but I am still recovering from the flu, so I am taking it easy. Also, has anyone noticed that if you have a toothache working out makes it feel worse? Maybe it's just me...

Looking forward to some with the kid tomorrow, since no work no school. Maybe we will go for a walk...


I can't wait to get to know everyone and hope you all have a wonderful evening!
