WOW! I just want to say those stories are simply amazing and I thank you for sharing them with us. I'm sure it wasn't easy telling your stories. My heart goes out to each of you and I'm proud of you for your successes.

WOW!!! You women are amazing! I am truly inspired by all of you.

This is in response to Quiggleys tale of success. You had spoke of lymphedema and your cellulitis. I have had the cellulitis about 8yrs ago but I still have the lymphedema but I currently weigh 370# (I think). Did your lymphedema ever improve with the weight loss. I would be so happy to have normal size legs. They are reddened and ugly looking, I always hide them and never have worn a dress since 1971!! I have been on Atkins before and I want to get a good foot-hold again, I just need the push and shove to get this fat old body moving! thanx.

wow,i know i dont have 300 lbs to loose, i have 160-180 but iw as rading through here and i am amazed at what you ladies have acheieved. It makes me ashamed of myself for not getting off my butt and really doing something about my weight before now.

Liz,
Do not give up on your self! It can be done!!!
I do not want to preach, but I would like to offer a suggestion. What you do is up to you...
First, I would dust off my copy of Atkins.
I would go through my house, and remove ALL of the carb junk. Then, on a full stomach, I would shop for the foods on the Atkins list...if you are full, you are less likely to buy crap to snack on.
And then, I would go home, and give myself a fighting chance. There isn't any harm in trying. You are worth it!!!

AKMD65 - You are truly an inspiration. I have endured far less hardship and nearly gave up on life altogether more than once. Am I right that your daughters are your only family now? I have one daughter and it's just me an her agaisnt the world-daunting.
Now I can actually see light at the end of the tunnel. I will look to you and others on this forum for inpsiration and advice. I have around 100 lbs to lose.
I am nearly crying tears of joy that I have found this place-so many of you are jaw-dropping inspirations!

jbiggars63 · 07-21-2009, 08:16 PM

Hello all! Have been posting in the Medi thread since January of this year and just found this thread! Amazing stories!

Well, my story is on going but here it is as it stands now; can be found in the 100 pound lost stories 168 since Christmas 2008. I hope to end up with a 300 pound loss though!

TaylorMac · 08-11-2009, 11:35 PM

You people are amazing and I'm so happy to be here amongst you. I hope to be one of your major "success stories" in approx 18 months time.

Thanks for sharing your inspiring (and highly personal) experiences with us.
