Hello! My name is Camelle. I have been doing LC (southbeach) since May 15th 2006. So far so good. I have a total of 155 pounds to lose, I have lost 60 of them already. So right now, I have 95 left to go! When I get to that point... WOW! I have been overweight all of my life. I love food... baking, cooking, eating, whatever. BUT I am REALLY working very hard at making this a WOE for LIFE for not only myself, but my family. I have a 16 month old son, and a husband who are also enjoying this new woe. My husbard still has the occasional "extra carb" and so does my son. But my son doesn't know what White Flour or sugar are, for the most part! YEA!

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself... say HI... and tell you all that I have been inspired by you, laughed, and even cried for you. I have been reading this board since I started. Honestly, it was just TOO hard to ADMIT (to myself or anyone that I had SO much weight to lose!) And, I wasn't sure that I could do it, so didn't want to get my hopes up. But I CAN do it, I am doing it, and I HAVE to keep doing it! My health depends on it!!! :)

Welcome Camelle! Glad to have you here with us. Great progress so far.

Congrats on getting your family involved with your WOL. It is SO MUCH BETTER for kids to never have sugar and flour! What a great mom you are!

All the best, Julie

Hey Camelle!! :wave:

I'm so happy to see you finally made it over to the TDC!! :agree: :D

It was this forum in particular, that helped me the most as my weight came down. I was too shy to post anywhere else but the TDC....I was also, not sure that I'd make it!! ;)

This is a great forum for those of us with more than 100 lbs to lose!!! :D

You are doing so well!! Keep up all your good work!! :thup:

You are doing just great! You look so much younger in your during picture. Just think how much better you will feel in later years when you look back on your pictures with your adorable son and you together! You can and will do it. I was thin while my kids were growing up, but I was at least 250 pounds since my grandson was born and I HATE all of the pictures of us together.

Sunny!
