Smile Newbie here!
I signed up a few weeks ago but thought I'd finally introduce myself.

My name is Mea, and I'm 29 years old.

I started my weight loss adventure in August 07. I had hit my highest weight at 317lbs and finally decided it was time to get serious about losing weight.

I visited my doctor and she put me on a 1000 calorie diet. She wanted me to try the Optifast plan they offer but I wanted to do it on my own, and besides those plans are sort of pricey. So I got on track and lost down to 260lbs before Thanksgiving. Then came the Holiday Parties and food... and we all know the story from there... LOL

So I'm going to get back on track towards my ultimate goal of 150lbs. These forums are great, and I'm glad I found them. It's nice to see a really good support system here for everyone struggling to lose some weight (no matter how much it is).

So here's a big hello to everyone!

Welcome, Mea! A thousand calories is a little low, especially if you're active. I'm surprised your doctor would recommend that, but what do I know. I hope you're eating enough to keep that inner furnace burning. Obviously it's working for you - congratulations on losing 57 pounds! Looking forward to hearing more about your progress.
