New Friends???

I am beginning yet another diet this Friday. I have gotten 15 people together at work to begin a Biggest Loser competition. I turned 50 this year. If I don't do something about my weight I am literally going to die. I have so many health issues that I am afraid to talk to my doctor about.
I stumbled across this place and I'm hoping that it will be an encouragement to me.
Talk later,
Terri

Welcome to the board! I definitely hope you stick around, it's a great group of people :). What kind of eating plan are you starting this Friday? Do you have a plan in mind to keep you on track? One of the most important things in losing weight and keeping it off is having a good plan in place that you can follow for life. If you ever need encouragement or inspiration, we are definitely here for you!

Welcome to the board, Terri. I admire your take charge attitude! You're being proactive and thats a great thing. I'm particularly interested in Biggest Loser this season because a guy from the town I now live in is a contestant. I don't know the guy personally, but its neat to know someone from just down the road is on the show. I'm going to use the show as a motivator for me when I feel like throwing in the towel.

Take care and again, Welcome to the board!

Hi Staci. I lost weight several years by counting fat grams. That seems to work well for me. The problem was, as always, I lost motivation and gained it back. I think what might make a difference this time is the support groups that I am building. 1- here, 2-at work with my Biggest Losers, and 3- at my Al-Anon meetings ( I have already told them that we might have Al-Anon/OA meetings).
I think that I can live with the low fat thing. But definitely not the low carb thing!

I know you like Biggest Loser show. But the funny thing about Biggest Loser is the host Caroline should be a contestant she is no way skinny.
