My cousin in Erie Pa sent me this site.. I need to lose weight so bad. I have tried and tried and all I do is gain more. I am 48 and 326 lbs I have asthma and MD which makes it hard for me to walk a distance. I quit smoking in 2001 so I feel I did the biggest and hardest thing in life to do which to me falls under the same catagory as quitting drugs.
I wish there was a way to post pics up here cuz I know if I had to show my weight info once a week Id lose it because Id want to be able to show my peers HEYYYYYYY LOOK I LOST SOME!!!!!! anywayyyyy maybe being among yall may help m,e do this..I am dying slowly. I already was in the ER in Oct for Cardiac Arrest. nice huh 48 and rushed to the ER Blue and lifeless and from what i heard it took 5 men to carry me out of my van to a stretcher..Well it is Jan 21 and I weigh 326..I will write again in 7 days and see what I weight I have then.
I am soo happy yall are here ..I am here for anyone also if they need me or just want to vent ..

Hi and welcome here, Barb (: First of all, you DID quit a drug, a very difficult drug to beat - as difficult as heroin! So yes, if you can do that, you have to believe you can shed the pounds!
You can post pics here, but you have to be a paying member to do it, so that's something for you to think about for the future. You can also make a website when you're a paying member.
Did your cardiologist or regular doc put you on a diet specific to your heart needs? If so, what type of plan have they laid out for you? If not, I should think it's time to talk to them about it. To get started, though, you can start drinking water because we all know water is safe! Another simple thing you can do is whenever you get out to go somewhere, park farther away than usual. Even that little extra walking will help.
You can show your weight info each week - in the Celebration Station if you lose, and here in Support if you haven't and need some help getting going (: We'll believe you even without a picture!
- cl-Yavie, sig in still in progress :D
I am just a young girl in need of some
Barb,
I wish you the best of luck!
I hope you come the board every day...losing weight is hard to do....you need a lot of support....even if you don't post come read what is being said...otherwise you may miss something beneficial to you...
Welcome to the boards!

Oh Barb, don't wait seven days. Come back every day. This board is GREAT!!!! And from your post, you obviously are too. You'll totally fit in!!!!
I'm sorry (and scared) for the health things you've been suffering... but the good thing, is you ARE young, just 48. You can change your ways. I hope we can encourage you on your way... maybe in 2006, you'll have to change your tag to "veggieholic" or "walkaholic" :) Of course, Chocolate will always be great!
May your first post be just the first of MANY, MANY, MANY.
Welcome and come back soon, y'hear?
CHEERS! And happy water drinking... :)

Nice to meet you Barb!
Hi Barb :) Im semi new, and I know this is a big commitment, but its so worth it! I commend you on being so enthusiastic and determined, and i wish you the best!
Hi Barb! Welcome to the board, I myself just returned and am glad I did. All the people are so supportive and provide tons of inspiration.
Good job on quiting smoking - it's been 1 year and 7 months since my last cigarette. It's tough but quite an achievment.
As for posting pics, like everyone mentioned you can become a paying member or do what I'm doing, starting my own blog at blogger.com.
Hope to see you around.
Cheers
Lisa
