Topic : Join the 100 Pound Club

My name is Heather and I have been doing this on my own with no support for the last month I started at 239 and now at 225 Lbs. Last year I was around 140 after losing weight from being 200 and then I went through a nasty custody battle and lost control. I have want to set a healthy example for myself and my kids.
I am very supportive if anyone needs to chat my email is missdanielavittoria@hotmail.com

Hey Everyone, I am Sarah, nice to meet you, I used to be aronud 330 lbs and then I went down to 265 then...I got into a serious relationship(wonderful might I add) but because eh loved me for me I put some weith back on :(...I am now around 285lbs :(  So I would love to lose over 100 lbs, well 140 to be exact, I want to be healthy and in shape to start a life with the love of my life, and be able to enjoy the life of my children when I have them...So I have turned to Dr Phil, his shows and motivation moves me to tears on a regular bases, and just watching his show today about weight loss just made me smile, made me think, Why am I not doing this...so thank you Dr Phil, and maybe one day when I've lost the weight we may meet and I can thank you in person, but until then I look forward to hearing from everyone else in this group and getting to know you and your stories and helping you on your journies, and well as leaning on you when I need your help...thanks so much and peace love and total happiness...happy shedding!

Hi there!  Just got through watching Dr. Phil {THANK YOU DVR} finished crying and here I am NEVER doing anything like this before and putting myself out there like the rest of you.
My name is Kammy I am currently living in Texas {Job offer I  could NOT refuse} but from Massachusetts and Maine.  I have no family here at all and sometimes get really depressed.  I found out a couple of years ago that I am diabetic and taking meds for that along with Blood Pressure and Cholesterol.  My daughter, son-in-law and Grandchildren live in Maine. My son lives in California and is getting married to a beautiful woman in April 2009 {I don't want to be the "heffer mother of the groom!" AND the EX will be there and I heard he has lost a ton of weight!  I used to cook really well for him :-}  OK...  us AND my parents and most of the rest of the family also live outside of Boston. Oh by the way...  my ex is great and we really get along well so he would NOT say anything but good things. 2 years ago I lost 60 pounds {after the diabetes scare} and SWORE I would NEVER gain it back.  Then I went back to Boston for my parents 50th, busted my knee really bad.... came back to TX only to get laid off and gained 60 plus back again.  When I gained it back I had gone back to Boston for Christmas.  Do any of you have a mother that you didn't speak to for 7 months because "Oh my God I can't believe how fat you looked when you came home"  I still can't stand speaking to her and sooooooooo glad she lives 1K away from me {flight miles with gas!}
I am so glad to be here with all of you.  Anyway.....  I am here for any of you and if you want some tips I have learned and should STILL be using or you just want to talk.  my e-mail is kammyh001@yahoo.com
Take care, Be good and let's kick some ass!!!!!!!
HUGE HUGS

I really get crunchy munchy.....  Don't you just want to crunch???  Well has anyone tried "Laughing Cow Cheese" on celery?  I am so addicted to cheese it's awful!!!!!  This stuff is really good....  try it!  Oh and by the way I want to eat everything, so if this satisfies me.......  TRY IT

I'm not new to these message boards but I am just getting ready to start the weight loss challenge. and it sounds like we are a match. lol I have Dr. Phil's books on this do you? That would probably be a good place to look. I have had them for a long time but I have never read them through. Always seems like there is something more important to do than to take care of me. I know that tomorrows show will reveal alot of pointers too so we can watch that and compare notes. My email is cvlrs@yahoo.com so if you want to email that would be good too. And if there are others that want to help and be helped I know I'm here for that too. Tonite I plan on eating less, cleaning out some of the food I know is not good to have around, getting out the books and putting them on the kitchen counter, and planning what I'm taking to work for lunch tomorrow. No more "fast food"...what are your plans ?

Hi,

I too work in the healthcare field, and need to lose 85 lb.  You would think with all that we see, we would run to the gym.  I am so afraid that I will develop a serious illness, or die prematurely.  It is a mystery to me, how I can set my mind to anything else I wish to attain, but fail miserably in the health department.  My weight and height is almost the same as yours, but I am 62 .  I'm about to retire and continue to work part-time.  I'm excited to have more time to myself.  I will watch the message board, and try to be helpful and supportive.  Here's to everyone's better health!!

   I am not sure what I am supposed to do.  Are we going to get specific instructions from someone on the show as to what to do and when?  Or are we supposed to wing it by the book?  I currently weigh 235 lbs and need to be at or around 150 lbs, I know that's less than 100lbs, but it's more than 50lbs, and I think closer to 100, so here I am.  Where do I go from here?

Hi am Jessica but I go as ReaAnne. I am a new mommy and thanks to having 3 beautiful children and already being a big girl before the first one, I am about 80 pounds over weight. I am 6'2 and am 300 lbs. I truely dont want to think of weight loss as "weight" but "pant size" I want to be in a size 16 not 26. So I am finally going to do this thing. I want my little girl to grow up with the right idea about her body and view of it. But first I have got to be there myself. And I AM NOT THERE!!
