Hi Lee! Welcome to the TDC! We're glad you decided to join us!

[SunnyCarol]

Welcome! I guess we'd all rather not have to be where it indicates we need to lose triple digits, but this is a great place to be if it's a true fact. Only those of us that have been in that position truly understand what it takes to be successful. We have a whole different approach from someone that only needs to lose 20 pounds. Not to say that that is not hard, too, just different.

Sunny!

What Sunny said!!

Seriously, even if I didn't have so much to lose this is still a great place to come for encouragement. You're not alone, we can do this TOGETHER!!

:thup:

Welcome to the TDC Lee.... I agree that it is hard to admit that you need to lose triple digits but this place is the best there is for support and encouragement.

I come here all the time even though I am close to goal because I remember when.....

Take care and best of luck, Julie

Hi, Lee...you can do this! I sure didn't want to be TDC, but I am, and that is life, and we will all eventually get to the point where we can no longer be TDC's ;)

Hi Lee
Welcome to the group and hello.

You are going to probably do very well on low carb (I forgot to look to see what plan you are on). I once went out with a guy who lost nearly a pound a day on low carb to the grand total of nearly 90 pounds. It was maddening that he lost so fast while I lost so slowly.

Be sure to exercise every day if you can. It *does* help the weight loss go better. I'm going to join a gym soon but for now I do home workout videos and walk when I can in good weather (no rain or snow).

Good luck to you. :D

PS. What are you doing in school. I'll be 45 next month and I am in college taking some college prep courses.

Hey guys I have been very busy with school but thought about the diet all week. I have been very strict about my diet this week and I weighed today I am down to 371.5... I thought that I would have lost more...I do not know what I am doing wrong.. Once upone a time I could lose 2 pounds a day not 2 pounds a week.. This past week I have had very few carbs..i.e. little cabbages and chewing gum.. I wonder if the diet gum is jamming me up? I still drike coffee and I use the gum for a breathment. I also drink coolaid sweetend with splinda.. As far as exercize I have been doing better..so I thought I would lose more due to the extra exercize. I thought wrong..
Chow for now! Wish I could be more positive but the only thing I am positive about is that I am not losing as fast as I would like.. I no that I am doing something wrong but I don't no what it is yet...
