Pet Talk Monthly Weight Loss *CHALLENGE*

[buckner]

I'd love to join, but I'd feel really awkward.

You see, I've been dieting (lifestyle changing, that is) since August 8th and I've lost a total of 48lbs. At least, that was my loss as of Monday morning. I've been doing a calorie diet using the right foods. I never "cheat" or even splurge a little bit. I haven't had chocolate, chips, or anything that I used to depend upon in at least 3 months, some things even longer! I got out of my depression state, looked in the mirror and went "HOLY CRAP!!!" and immediately starting changing my appearance. :P

I've always battled with my weight, but since 7th grade, I had it under control. I'd gained a few pounds and then cut back once I realized it. I maintained a healthy weight at around 130-135lbs (I'm 5'8") all up until May of 2004. Then in July, I started having to deal with death and I became depressed.. lets just say I let myself go. I gained SO much weight, but since, I've lost the 48lbs! I plan on continuing for a while (what seems like FOREVER!) until I get down to my desired weight at 130lbs. Then I'll just maintain.

So, if I could join, I'd love to. I love being a part of a support system. However, I'm not just starting, so I'd be way ahead of most people. And, people may have a problem with someone already having lost 48lbs and getting into this Challenge.

Good luck to everyone!!!

WOW that is an amazing achievement you should be extremely proud of yourself, and I think if you want to Join you should, everyone needs as much support as they can get, and if it is your wish why not, I don't think anyone would have any problem with it, infact you will be an inspirition to people yourself and could offer advice, and lots of support back, SO GO FOR IT sweetie.

That's amazing what you've accomplished! And, I can't imagine anyone having a problem with you already having lost some weight. I mean, you still have some to lose, apparently, and, that's the whole point. You could be major motivation to a lot of people!
