Hi Board,

Here I am again.. determined to lose this weight. oh, I would say about 110 pounds.

I have tried any and everything, including liquid diets and ALMOST Gastric Bypass surgery. ( decided since it wasnt BRAIN surgery and would never change how I think about and why I USE food, that I should not go that route. )

I am currently counting calories because this allows me to eat whatever I want in controlled amounts.

This is DAY ONE, and I will surely need everyone support.

Thanks in Advance!! :)

Hi Lexi,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. :)

Yesterday was my first day, and I didnt do very well. I did fine all day long, and then when dinner time came, I blew it. somebody offered to take me out for chinese food, which I love.. and even though I had eaten all of my calories for the day, I was hungry, so I went.

I will learn from that; I had two unplanned snacks during the day that used up alot of calories, and left me none to spend on dinner; I was hungry, so of course I ate!

I will NOT beat myself up about it. its done, I see what mistakes I made, and today is a new day.

I have 108 pounds to lose, its not going to happen over night, but I refuse to give up. one pound at a time... I tell myself that I have to lose 10 pounds 11 times...

Thanks again!

Hi Cl,

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Exercise.. boy.

I know thats something I need to do. long story short:

I have developed Plantar Faciaitis (sp?) in both feet, which is a bummer; I was walking 1 hour a day for a while on the treamill ( 3 mph ) and then took it outside when the weather got nice, but then I developed this condition in my feet, which basically ended the walking.

I have an indoor bike, as well as many, many weight training for women tapes; I really need to get started.

At one time, I did the weight training tapes and got into good shape, but then I got burned out on them.

I am thinking of starting an abbreviated version of weight training again-- maybe 30 minutes per day rather than 45 minutes or an hour, and also throw in some time on the bike. I know I need to do it, its getting started thats the hardest part!

I love it!! I have to lose 10 pounds 12 times. You're right--much more attainable that way. I've gotten so far off track. I had lost 12 pounds, but now have gained 13 back. Lets just say I realized how much I love food. But I'm starting over again today.

I'm not really familiar with the pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis, so would something like rebounding be out of the question?
