Ok Hi Everyone! I have tried every diet possible even looked into having my stomach stapled. They say I am not heavy enough. So I could sit on the couch and eat until I weighed enough or do something about my weight the sensible way. I have tried atkins before but never could make it through the first week because I felt bed. I know I have to get over the hump and then I will feel better! I need all the support I can get. I will start tomorrow so wish me luck! I am 36 married with 2 kids and ready to enjoy thinness!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings and welcome aboard!

Getting through that first week is definitely the major hurdle for most people. I'm glad you found this site as the folks here can really help you.

Be sure to drink LOTS and LOTS of water and just keep telling yourself that the temporary misery is merely the price for permanent joy.

Also consider starting a journal here - they are a great resource, especially when you need extra support and encouragement.
