Hey Everybody - I am new here. This is my second try. I started originally on March 2 of last year. I stayed on it until last Thanksgiving. I had lost nearly 115lbs, but went off for the hoildays and have since not gone back on, until Sunday. I gained back alot of weight fast during the hoildays, so I have only lost about 75lbs as of now.
About me: I am a married college student and I work full-time. I am nearly 6 feet 8 inches tall, and before I started this a year ago, didnt think I had a problem. I always carried my weight well, looking around 300, instead of the actual 542 I was. I was shocked when I found out how much I weighed. It was actually a humbling experience. My wife was always worried about me, and she and my parents had convinced me to go to a Lap-Band seminar. I set up an appointment and meet the doctor. I found out I was 92 lbs over what the could to. I was told that if I lost 92 lbs then I could have the surgery. Somewhere in the parking lot leaving the doctor I decided that if I was going to lose 92 lbs on my own I might as well lose it all myself.
As I said earlier, I lost 115, from March 2 to August 2, and was down to aroung 425, but then I started eating the sugar free candy. I did this for about 4 months, and didnt lose anything, but didnt gain anything either. Then I fell in the hoilday trap and was never able to get out until last weekend when I realized I had gained back about 40 lbs in 4 months.
So here I am, and I am sure I will need support, which is hard to ask for. Its great to know each of you and feel free to e-mail of message me anytime. Thanks everybody.
