How Many Big Girls Are on This Forum? Weighing Over 250 Lbs?

[skinnybound]

Good morning ladies,

Congrats on the losses. Glad everyone is staying focused and remaining strong. My first day of VLCD wasn't bad yesterday. I woke up to a -2.6 on the scales today. Got rid of my load weight and some. So looking forward to a skinny future. Before I started this diet I was 260.5 a month ago. I lost 10.4 lbs on my own and adding it to my loss today of 2.6 means I have lost 13 lbs so far. Yay!!



AFM- I am 26, I live in Southern California. City of Orange. (by Disneyland) I have a beautiful 3 year old little girl, named Hailey Isabella. I have always been a thick girl, but not necessarily fat. After I gave birth to my daughter, it was like my body changed and it was harder for me to lose the weight. I think too it had to do with my being on a strict bedrest for 9 months while I was pregnant. My husband and I seperated 3 months ago and he is living outside of our house, while we "work" on everything. So I dont have much of a support system right now other than my daughter.


Good luck to everyone. Looking forward to reading everyones losses today

Hi there! Got to the scale this morning but then again, not at the regular time (my schedule here lately is very crazy which does not help at all! Grrr....) so not sure if I lost 1.5 or 2.5 Hopefully tomorrow morning I will be able to know for sure. I am keeping the ticker as it is today just in case. (never thought 3lbs would be such a big deal for me!!!) :-) I am trying to be as careful today as possible just in case & drinking even more water, hopefully I will see good numbers tomorrow. We'll see...

@ Cindarella, WTG girl!!!! You are doing awesome!

@ skinnybound, WTG too!!! I am sorry about your marriage situation; hope the 2 of you can solve your problems pretty soon. As for support system, well I know we are all here and is not the same but please know we are. Also, do you have family around? Friends? Anyone close that maybe could join you in this journey or at least be willing to chat with you every other day, or visit? I hope you do, and still if you don't, please know that even at a distance, I feel I can speak for everyone else in saying, we are all here for you ok? Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

Im jumping in and joining the chat I am on day 10 of p4...Going to start on my next round in a couple of weeks which I am super stoked about. I currently weigh 248 which is the lowest I have weighed in a very long time ...like since High School and my hubby has never seen me any thinner so hes pretty excited to know what I will look like after my round is over.
I had intended to wait until the weekend of June 10th to start my loading since my bday is the 9th but I just thought to myself , " I am not going to reward myself with food or say " Oh come on, its your birthday, just splurge!" I just refuse to use food as a system of reward for myself anymore. When holidays come around, food is always the center of the event and its gotten me to where I am. If I was celebrating , I would eat. If I was sad about something, I would eat. I just will not allow myself to do that anymore.
So my birthday I will be on my vlcd and my birthday gift to myself will be a healthier relationship with food.

Good thinking Emmilou!!!! I'm proud of you!!!!

Welcome Emmylou! Congrats on the loss and great thinking on your bday!

I'm not doing so hot with this P3 stuff I dont think. I'm up this morning a little. Today has been very stressful and hectic so I ate breakfast but missed lunch and then ate dinner. Now I'm afraid I'm going to be messed up by not getting enough in today. And tomorrow will be no better, I have two grand openings and fridays are always very busy at my store on top of everything else. Then we go into the weekend and who the heck knows what it will bring.

I'm Peggy -- 54 -- and I live in southwest Missouri -- lots of rain, but no flooding here. I am divorced with two grown sons, both of whom are married and each has a daughter. One is 4 years old, one is nearly 8 months old. I used to not be overweight at all, I was in the AF and had to weigh in frequently and stay within weight limits, so I did great till I retired from the AF. In 1991, I weighed 126 and looked pretty dang good I think! I don't anticipate getting back down there, but I want to lose at least another 50 or 60 lbs. I started this journey in Oct 2010 at 251.2. I am at 207.4 today and on P2 of round 3 -- hope to get under 200 before I move on the P3. Good luck to everyone on here -- we can do this!!
