    Another Newbie

    Hello All, I'm new here and started Monday September 17th and just found this site. I'm 43 years young and after quitting smoking & getting pregnant about 15 years ago my weight sky rocketed to over 300 pounds and I have never taken it off. Big difference from when I use to be 160.

    So I decided it was time to change my life since I have been having problems lately with my health.

    I weighed in at 307.4 last Monday and today, less than 2 weeks later I am 297.4. I've lost 10 pounds in 11 days! So onward I will go and I have a lot of posts to read. It's great to be able to post your achievements somewhere.

    Welcome teezu, I noticed that you signed onboard yesterday. I'm glad you jumped right in with a post about you! 10 pounds in 11 days is an awesome start!

    Have you read the book, 2002 edition of DANDR? I would recommend it if you haven't already. So, cruise around and familiarize yourself with ADBB. There's a ton of great information and support to be had.

                Welcome teezu! Congrats on losing 10 pounds. I love coming to this board. It provides so much support. I also love to pick up how much I have lost just to get a feel for what I've been carrying around. Next time you're at the grocery store, pick up a 10 pound bag of dog food and then pat yourself on the back! Great job!
