Friends Motivation and Support (needed)

[bitznbats]

Hi there I'm new here, I'm not new to being overweight! To put it bluntly I was born fat and have alway been fat despite numerous diets. The most i ever lost was seven pounds! Then my doctor found out that I was suffering from Hyperinsulism and recommended that I start on a Low Carb. he also said that at 5'8" 292lbs was not goo at all. Well I did so and I have since lost 32lbs (which is great!) but I live in a household of seven others, who two other are overweight and all of them think that I am stupid for sticking to such a rigours diet and kept trying to tempt me into braking it (they have been baking sausages rolls and fresh bread daily since I started it!!) So my commitment is under attack so I signed up here form moral support of other people who know what I am going through!!

Good for you! Well done on taking a positive step, you will find lots of motivation and support here. Try starting a diary, and reading some of the `before and after' posts. Sorry to hear that your overweight housemates are making life hard, perhaps they are afraid of your coming success?

You can do it! It feels good to change your lifestyle.
I am now in Day 4 (and I can't believe four days have been flying by!).
I'm not a religious person, but I heard something that makes sense (you can bend it to fit your own mind frame):

When you are on the right path, that is when the devil is going to tempt you most to ruin your successful path.

Welcome! I am new here too, and have already found this to be a WONDERFUL source for support!

I am 5' 9 1/2" tall and weigh 296(down from 319). It's been a struggle, and isn't easy, but it becomes easier that more time and effort into it. Well, for me it has anyway. I am drawn more and more to healthy choices and activities!

You will have a great support system here!

You CAN do it and we're all rooting for you!!!!
