I'm a big fat loser !
as of this morning on the scale... you know first thing in the morning, no clothes, after going potty, etc etc... at my all time lowest possible weight for the day.
I just hit 21lbs lost mark ....
I am years after the Atkins "boom", i never did this WOE before, never tried it, but i have tried wt watchers, "watching" what i eat, LA Weightloss, joining a gym (but not going)
when my ex husband was cheating on me i lost 60 lbs.. but gained that all back after the divorce and meeting my wonderful current/last husband
i was hovering in the 290's for the last year or so... last 6 months hovering in the 297-298 range... full of denial of ever seeing the next big number...
2nd week of june 2008 - i stepped on the scale like i did every morning, and got knocked to my knees... the 300 was there, plain as day, i was dumbfounded.
I never in a million years thought i would ever see that number.. it did something to me.. it made me determined.. and knowing that stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.. i needed something i had not tried before....
then i found this wonderful site, read up and on June 15, 2008 started the WOL, joined the board soon after and have come here every day since. this WOE is so easy for me.. not hungry, and seeing results, and the amazing support and encouragement i get from reading other posts and answers to my questions and the great people i have "met" here... this is my new WAY OF LIFE... and i plan on being here for a long time.
if you are new, reading this for the first time, whatever, read the book, join the board, theres nothing like it.. come here often, read everything, ask questions.. you too can find amazing support and encouragement, and a new WOL that you will never want to stop. its amazing.
thank you one and all

Very inspirational post!!! And congrats to you on starting and sticking with this WOL. I know it's really hard to see those big numbers and think that you can ever really reverse them, but you can, and are!!!
