Hey there Strangers!!!!!!  Sorry I have been MIA, but I have had a ton going on..... Actually spent a month in the hospital for my depression, and I am still working on it with my doctor......  Anyway, I thought I would check in... Not proud of my progress, but I will report anyway....

 

Starting weight - 309

Lowest weight - 177

Current weight - 223

 

It's been a rough road lately needless to say.... Although my weight has at least been pretty much the same for the past few months

I have to admit that I did trade my food addiction for another addiction..... Alcohol....  It has been pretty bad, but I did go to my first AA meeting last week and I have been clean and sober since 10/17/08.....

Hope to get back to the board and talking to everyone again.....

 

Hugs to ALL,

Shawn M. 

Shawn,

It i so GREAT to hear from you ...I've been wondering where you were. Last time you said that you were not comfortable to post your gain. Glad to see that you are reaching out for help! I imagine that was difficult. But I bet you feel a bit better about doing so. Please know ... I am only an email, or phone call away!

Hang in there you are a STRONG woman .... one who can conquer these demons and attain ll of your goals!

I am cheering for you all the way!

hugs,
Britt

Please check in more often - we really MISS YOU

Thanks so much Britt!!!!  I don't really think it makes me feel any better, but at least the truth is out now....  I am so glad to have such a great bunch on my side though....  Thanks again.....

 

HUGs,

 

you are right - the truth being OUT regardless - is A BIG STEP!

keep on going

like Donna said if you can be a MOM to 6 YOU CAN beat this!!!

hugs,
Britt

Welcome back, Shawn!   We've missed you!

Wanda

Thanks so much Wanda... It's good to be back....  I've missed all of you too...

 

Hugs,

 

*hugs* to you too!

I'm glad to see you post and very happy to see you taking care of you!  It's so important!!

Congrats on being C&S over 6 weeks now!  You'll battle it and win... If you can be a Mom to 6 kids, you'll beat this too.

Donna :)

Thanks so much Donna......  I am really having a rough time of it too....  I wanted a drink so bad yesterday... But instead I ate.... I just keep trading one addiction for another....uuuugggghhhhh...... At least, even with all the eating I have been doing the past 6 weeks or more, my weight has held steady.... now if I can just eat one less snack a day, I may start to lose again....  I just feel like such a failure at everything I do lately..... Well, anyway..... thanks again... I appreciate your encouragement and support....

 

HUGs,

 

For the last several weeks I haven't bothered getting on the scale because my weight has stayed the same for the last 4 months or more. My scale numbers really don't bother me much anymore; I just know how I feel and how my clothing fit, and that is good enough for me. A little over a month ago I changed my workout routine and started using free weights instead of the Nautilus machines. I am trying to add more muscle mass and since muscle weighs more I figured I would gain weight and lose more inches like I have in the past. The other day my wife asked me if I had weighed lately because she said I looked like I have lost more weight, so I decided to pull out the scale and weigh. To my amazement I dropped 10 more pounds since the last time I weighed. That's 36 pounds below the goal weight my doctor set for me and I have 15 pounds to lose to reach my new personal goal weight of 199. With the 10 pound drop in weight changed my BMI to 29.1 and I am no longer obese I am overweight.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and hope you all have a good week. Alan
