Hi there! I've been losing weight now for 2 1/2 weeks, and have dropped 13 pounds so far -- started at 272, now at 259 (but, of course, you can see that in my sig....). My goal weight is 160, which means dropping 112 pounds.
I've lost... and gained... and lost... and gained over and over again all through my life. The idea of losing so much weight and keeping it off is both scary and exciting for me. I want to feel better, have more energy, and not huff and puff after going up a flight of stairs. I want to wear clothes and have them look good on me, not just choose clothes that "cover up" (but not really) my body. I want to fit well in a seat on an airplane, not have to worry about whether or not I'm too big for lawn chairs and rollercoasters and stuff like that. I want to stop worrying if I'll be the fattest person in the room, or what people think of me. I've lost before, but this time it's going to be a permanent change, both inside and outside. I've had enough.
Wow... it feels good to write this stuff. What a great place this is!
