This mornings weigh in gave me such motivaton to keep on going! I now weigh 299 for the first time in at least 16 years. I simply could not hold back the tears!! It has been a journey, but I must say a very easy one so far. I have had no sickness, I am feeling great and have really started to embrace this new lifestyle with joy. I look forward to my morning workouts, I actually look for extra walking to do around work too! Never in my life would I have thought I'd look for ways to exercise!

I just cannot express how over joyed I am this morning!!

Awesome! Always nice to hit a milestone!

Milestones are great, I just recently got under 300 myself

Congrats keel Hl the great job very inspiring to all

Wow. That's amazing! Good job to all you user 3's!!! Here is my question. When you are fluffy you never want anyone to know your weight bc no one can imagine being 300+ lbs. so like me, my license lies and says even 300 while I am way over that I won't admit it. Now that you are under 300 will you lie or tell the truth????

I'm so used to the shame of my weight, I cannot bring myself to post it, or even talk in public (like at support group) about what it is or how much I want to lose.

Well.... my drivers license actually says I weigh 260lbs.... guess I thought I was hiding those extra hundred ten lbs!! So I have a 45 lbs till I have to worry about it. But I more than likely wont change it until i renew it in a couple years.

I've always told the truth about my weight bc I wear it well... but I can't wait to be at my goal 150-160 so I can tell the truth with joy instead of regret.

I wouldnt even share with my own Mother how much I weighed prior to surgery....well, I still havent! But this is the only place where I feel comfortable sharing this kind of information. I guess it's because we are all in the same boat. I havent been able to go to a support group local meeting because they are always when I work, but not sure I'd share anything about my actual weight there anyway....dont mind sharing the pounds lost or nonscale victories...but not how much I actually weigh.

I would die if my husband knew I was up to 370lbs! He knows I am a big woman, but I couldnt bare telling him my actual weight!! Hes about 245lbs...so I wanna get lower than him!!

I had to go to the ER when I was pregnant and had my husband step out...

I think my turning point was admitting to my husband how much I weigh. It was such a hard core embarrassment that it made me are I need help and researched the WLS options.

It's horrible how we are all so ashamed.

It's sad. I have had the meanest stuff said to me about my weight. Shame comes with the territory.

I love that feeling of looking at new numbers that in your heart you knew you'd never see again! Its like a dream looking at these numbers! Keep going Debra and thanks for the inspiration!

Well I am sitting on 348 at the moment and hopefully when I have my surgery in Feb '13 I will be hopefully at 250 this time next year. You are all a Huge inspiration for me.

I don't have Huge Goals and don't expect it to fall off me, but I am gonna take it one day at a time.

I started off at 370....really thought I'd fail at this too....but I am losing! It's ok to make huge goals...you can obtain them! I never thought I'd be below 300 again....and now I am heading to the 280's!

You can do it!! and like you said it's always just one day at a time!! I am excited for your surgery in feb!!
