I'm new

Many months ago I decided to give myself one last shot at losing weight on my own before making the decision to have surgery. I found with a lot of effort that I could do it. At the start I weighed 270 with a BMI of 42.3 and at the end of three months I weighed 220 with a BMI of 34.5. I have kept the 50 lbs off for about 6-7 months now and I'm ready to go again.

 Welcome to the non op board! and congrats on your weight loss so far! look forward to getting to know you!

Hi! Thats a great start!! I've kinda did the same thing. I did good for a few months before Christmas, lost almost 50 lbs, and since then I've had trouble keeping on track...not sure why, I  definantly want to loose more before summer!! What eating plan are you/were you doing? I've been doing Atkins, or at least a low-carb plan, since I havn't been able to  stick to all the restrictions Atkins has. I'm back on it today, and I'm trying to reward myself so I stick with it. If I don't cheat for 30 days, I get a pedicure!

 Great Non-food Reward Heather! I love Pedicures!

I eat around a 1000 calories a day. I also workout at Powerhouse gym. I'm really struggling right now because I just had a break up with the man I really do love. It's hard not to emotionally eat but so far I have been verygood.

 Excellent work.
And yes, aren't pedicures fabulous!!!
