Hi, I've never been part of a support group, but I've been dieting since I was 11. I was always "a big girl", but in the past few years I blew up from 155 to 264. Being only 5'3" this is not good. Don't really know how all this is going to work out, but I'm really hoping that being able to talk to people who understand will help me get through the rough spots. I welcome any advice anyone has. The only thing is, due to health issues I can't take any kind of medication. Thanks for taking time to notice me here!!! :shock:

Welcome to the group. I've been taking phen, but this website has helped with losing weight too.

Thanks for your reply. The Phen thing made me have second thoughts at first but after browsing through, I could see that this place is great even for those of us who aren't taking anything. I was so excited yesterday to have found this, I've spent more time since then exploring all the different postings and places than I probably should have. I'm actually looking forward to the journey I am starting for the millionth time. This time I think I'm gonna make it!!!!

zoey~ I think our stories have alot in common! I have been big all my life and I am still trying to get healthy. I also am not taking phen--I have tried it but I am trying to just rely on a lifestyle chance and making good choice instead of popping a pill. This is very hard but even if I have a bad day I just keep trying. I am glad you have joined the forum and I look forward to seeing your progress. Good luck to you. :grin:
