Hi. This is my first post! I lurked for a couple of days, looked at some before and after pics (AMAZING!) and decided to register. 
Why am I here? Well, I went on a cruise vacation with my family last week. It was lovely, but I didn't have all that much fun. I missed out on so much because of my weight. I'm 5'7" and weighed 206. (I say "weighed" because I'm 204 today as a result of lowcarbing for the last 3 days!) My husband and daughters went on the rock-climbing wall...I watched and took pictures. They went on a "canopy tour" in Jamaica which was like flying over the treetops...I stayed on the ship and read a book. My husband begged me to go in the pool or hot tub with him...I refused because I was too embarrassed to be seen in a swimsuit. We had lots of pictures taken by the ship's photographer...I didn't want to purchase any of the photos because of how I looked.
Our stateroom had mirrors all over the place. Up until then, I really had no idea just how fat I was. I guess I've only been looking at my face! (Can you say "denial"?) When I could see myself from all angles I finally realized that I am, indeed, obese.
Anyway, I decided that we are going to go on a cruise again next year, but next time I am going to have fun! (That's the explanation for my username.) I want to be able to wear (and look good in) a bathing suit. I want to go on all the fun excursions like the canopy tour, and swimming with the dolphins. I want to climb the rock wall. I want to have a new wardrobe of cruise clothes that I can't wait to wear, because I look so good!
So, thanks to anyone still reading, lol, and I'm glad to be here.
