Hello Everyone !

I found your website a few weeks ago buy just doing some internet searching on support groups! Its taken me a bit but here I am. A little about me, I began my "change of life" as its not a diet ;) on January of 05. I started with the reason of getting married in Feb 06. Well needless to say, that relationship failed in February of 05, causing me to realize many things about myself. I started with Jenny Craig Jan 05 and lost about 15lbs before the breakup. The breakup put me into a depression and I did not eat for almost 3 weeks loosing another 20lbs. At that point it was as if I woke up. The depression was over, and it was time for me to get my life together! I started eating healthy and exercising. I have always been overweight and like so many of us been on every diet possible, even the crazy ones! (I know your shaking your heads, we have all done them hoping for some miracle change hehe) This time around, many things were different, my view of myself and what I wanted in life. Its amazing how our thoughts control much of our actions, even if we are not aware of it. For once I was happy, happy with me even if I was still overweight! It has been a little over 1 year and I am now 110lbs lighter and under 200lbs! Well I am here for your support :) I don't want to give in to the temptations of "Oh, I lost weight I can eat this now" and forget about that last 50lbs. Or even the fear of gaining any of it back. I am no longer the person I once was 1 year ago but my journey is not over :p I am not on any special diet other than counting calories and exercising. I eat around 1200 calories a day, on occasions I splurge and eat that cookie, but Im right back at the gym the next day.

So thats my story ! I look forward to chatting with some of you and taking place in some of the exercise and weight contests :)

PS. I love smileys!!! hehe :p
 
Welcome to the WLF and CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss so far!!
Good for you!!

And your Progress Picts are AMAZING!
 
Welcome to the boards, and most importantly, welcome to your new life.

You've made a great, great change.. a change that I'm trying to make right now. 100 pounds seems to be a pipe dream for me, but you're proof that you can make a difference. Great to have you!
 
Amazing progress, you should be so proud of yourself. And best thing is, you can tell your mind is right. That is necessary if you are going to be happy in the long run. Too many chase the weight loss in hopes of finding some ultimate happiness. I always say, you must fix yourself mentally before you do so physically.

I look forward to hearing more about your!
 
WOW!!!

What a great comeback story! 2lbs a week is all it takesand it looks so HUGE when looking at your progress!!! You dont look like the same person, and you look and sound so happy! You have definetly added to my inspiration!!

Just wow... you go girl
 
Thanks for the welcome! :)

Thank you everyone for the welcome! :D I remember thinking myself oh wow how am I going to loose all this weight! I even thought of surgery. I made small goals. I didn't start out with looking at the total amount I wanted to loose because that just messed me all up! To be honest, I never considered myself dieting, I was taking care of myself for once. I treat myself to girly days of taking baths, facials, whatever I feel like and even if I was 100lbs heavier than I am now it made me feel good!

You will all learn more about me! Thank you all so much and I'm happy to be here! :p
