    the beginning

    vent anytime!! we "banditos" need to stick together. you made a brave choice. after two weeks? give it til the first month and youll feel like a new person! that frst fill... you need to re learn eating again but that was the most noticable for me. EVERYONE mentioned it but i didnt see it. the weight loss, to me it was the same not a number but being able to walk comfortably and go hiking/ sledding with my daughter with out having to sit down because my back hurt. now im up and running (kind of) but complete difference in my weight attitude and life in general. so good luck and this is why we are all here!! i look forward to reading your "diary"!!!

    Back to Work Tomorrow

    good for you! i also made a quick recovery and went back to work. i found it easier being occupied keeping my mind off the liquids. good luck, this was the best decision i had ever made and i hope its the same for you !

    May 29th...

    thats the way to look at it!! anything youre doing now is better than what you were doing. i was 255 and had no motivation, once a month had passed and only lost a small amount of weight i was a little discouraged. i stepped it up and it dramatically fell off now im already high school skinny and still losing! honestly i work out occasionally i dont think any ones ever "pumped" to work out... but eventually when you see and feel a difference thats when youll become motivated. good luck!! and we all like to here about your story thats why we are all here.....

    Hot guy talked to me in a bar and I freaked out

    just go with it and learn to take the compliments! that was my hardest part.... if some one loves you it wont matter what things look like, trust me it aint so pretty under my clothes either, but that doesnt stop me!! plus you can always leave the lights off... good luck!! I am also single but love it. the only way to take that next step is to just jump, take the chances and learn from them thats all you can do! I also hide my emotions with sarcasm but we all need to let our guard down sometimes... but dont hide from hot guys embrace them, literally form out of town or not!!
