After years of struggling with weight, I've topped off at 218 lbs. I decided on Sept 13-09 that I needed to make a change. I've been up and down my whole life post puberty. I finally discovered that I just need to stop being afraid...afraid of being noticed. This morning I brushed off the scale...literally, and jumped on... 210 lbs. So I've lost about 8 lbs since the 13th. The 218 is an estimate using my weight from a weigh in two months before...

I hear my son in the living room tell hubby I dusted of my scale...all I heard from him was a "hurumph"...Oh well, I don't need to have a round of applause...and that's why I've come to this forum for support. We all have our own issues...and they come down to weight loss and a healthy lifestyle.

I've started eating breakfast...which I haven't done in many many years, and amazingly I feel much better! If I'd only known. I've been eating 1c Yogurt with a 1/3 cup Muesli (Jordans Organic) and I munch on Apples, Baby Carrots, Radishes...and small handfuls of Peanuts (no more than two) during the day. Whatever we have for our evening meal I halve my normal pre-Sept 13 serving. I have a couple before pics...and starting today I'll take the front, side and rear pics in the same clothes..probably a bathing suit. HOW DO I POST PHOTOS?

I've been swimming in the afternoon and that's the start of my exericise. I already know I'll need to increase the amount I do on a daily basis...I think that's pretty much all I needed to say...

In order to post photos you have two options. When posting a new thread there should be an attach option that allows you to browse your computer. Alternatively, you can upload them to any random site (I use www.imagetack.com) and then post the links here.
