i remember.....

when I first started posting. There were alot of encouraging people here. Even though I never really posted everyday, I enjoyed reading others posts. I started having a few problems and stopped coming for a few months. When I came back almost e1 was gone. I miss them. No offense to anyone, because I haven't been here 4  awhile. I would love to start back posting. Welcome to all the newbies. Let's get this helping one another started. I need all the help I can get

hey is there anyone out there ?

did i kill the room or was it dead already?

 well my first day on a diet  and i did great  i did a great job at blowing it big time  maybe it cause i have this odd question that just keep eating on me     the ? is    even if we did loss over 200 pounds  or  100 for that matter  what would we be left with ?  i hate the thought of skin hanging everywhere making me look like some monster from a 3d rate movie .  i am sorry if i am being nagetive (or how ever u spell it )  but it's scary  i mean if u go into all that trouble to loss the fat and then fine u only trade one ugly for an other   then what ?

 wich bring to a an other thought why is it fat make us feel so ugly and unworthy?

i have people tell me  i am so pretty  and my mind is screaming  you liar  what did i do to you for you to make funn of me

but on a liter note i realy love my 2 dogs  cause they love my no matter how i look .

Hi Ladies!!!

Don't give up!!! You all sound so hopeless. You can do it!!!! I lost 100lbs and gained it all back and I am starting all over again. This time I am going to lose it ALL and keep it off. I started over 3 weeks ago and have lost 24lbs. I was 348 and now I am 324 and I want to break the 300 by Christmas and I am going to do it!!!! You can too.!!! Set little goals for yourself. My goal this week is to step up exercise a notch (I do stretches and lift weights) I am going to try and walk to the store instead of taking my car this week. It's not very far, just about half a small block but I have troubles with my breathing and I am afraid I won't be able to get back home so I will ask my neighbor to go with me the first couple of times. I have a treadmill but I can't get on it because I m too heavy. I sure could use your support in order to do this and I will be here for you all too.

Hi Mel .........welcome to this board. I don't know where everyone is. I just posted here yesterday for the first time myself and as of yet have received no replies to my message. I hope they come back. Don't give up on yourself. just remember........YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!!! I weigh 324 now  and when I started for the umpteenth time I was 348. I am 5' 3in. This time I swear I am going to lose it all and keep it off. I don't know how old you are but I am also on the "OH Middle Age plus board and all the gals are great and very supportive. There are a few other boards too that you might like to try.

 

Good Luck and maybe I'll see you back here. I sure hope so.

Mel and Kathy

Hello ladies,  I use to read this board all the time and learned a lot from the ones that were on here.  I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden there was nobody here.  I do know there were some lurkers and they would come on and say nasty things, so that may have happened again,  I just don't know.  I was gone out of town for a while and when I came back they were gone.  I would sugges trying some other ones.  go to the list and click on popular ones and you will get the most active boards come up first.  Good luck on your weight loss journey.  By the way I am 74 and I post on the 70 or older board, and I have a feeling you ladies are a lot younger than that and that board is not the most active either,  that is the reason I didn't sugges the one I was on.  LOL  YOU BOTH CAN DO IT.  I HAVE LOST ABOUT 100 POUNDS AND I KNOW IF I CAN DO IT ANYBODY CAN.  AGAIN GOOD LUCK!!!!

Dolores
