Hello everyone
I dont know if many of you remember me, because I see alot of new faces here...but I came to this site back in Dec of last year. I posted a little bit on this board, but not too much. I thought Id come stop by and say hi again...and reintroduce myself. I have kept up on my profile and journal area...quite often actually. I havent posted pictures yet because one of my goals is to get below 300 and then I will. Since starting my new way of eating on Dec 14th of 06...I have officially lost 117 lbs as of this morning. On July 14th, it will mark my 7 month anniversary, so Id say im losing at about the same rate as any person that went thru WLS. I dont think there is anything wrong with WLS, dont get me wrong...but for me, it wasnt the answer..nor was it an option. So, ive done it the old fashioned way...and thought Id come back by to talk to the rest of you folks that are doing it the same as I am. I know without a shadow of a doubt that I could never have made it as far as I have if it werent for this site and another one...all the support I get from here, just by READING what others have gone thru...its just made the world of difference for me. Its literally changed my entire life. When I started, I was 431.4 lbs. Today I am 314.4 lbs. I still have a long way to go, just about halfway to my goal actually...so Ill be around for a while. Hope to make some new friends....so come say hi
Hi Misleo
It has been a wonderful last couple of days in this forum. Lots of people sharing their success so far. For those like me who are just starting to get serious and who believed surgery was the only way, these posts are gold. Thank you
Congrats on your accomplishments and I hope that you'll post about your ups and downs.
Greetings from Chunkytown,
