Hi, I'm a self employed wife who is just five pounds less than her biggest weight or so I found out this morning. I'm 5'4 and weigh officially as of today 300 lbs

there I said it.
I have joined this forum hoping to get help and support while offering both to others. Yesterday I bought everything I need for the south beach diet and plan on starting the program today. One of the reasons I chose SB was that I had done it in the past and was so successful that it bears repeating. I am a sugar addict of major proportions. I eat extreme.
Lately I've been suffering from chest pain, well for the last 3 days, I don't think it's a heart attack, I think it's because I went bowling the other day and well at this weight things tend to hurt.
I want to do this, it's time for me to do this...
I look forward to getting to know everyone and lending support as well...
