I'm also in the seriously overweight category. I'm nine weeks into Weight Watchers, though, and have lost 25 pounds so far. So...in a year or so I plan to be able to check "not overweight"!
And I totally agree with that!!!!Originally Posted by vespacat
Aesthetically speaking, Marilyn Monroe is so much more beautiful than Paris Hilton.

I'm not overweight but I did spend a good few years of my life being overweight - school kids are horrible at letting you know it!
i want to get to 50 kg's tooI am like that,
According to the healthy book, i am just at the border.
But i am now down to 57 thank god! and i plan to get down to atleast 50 - 55 kilograms!
No teenie bopper here. Consider checking out the Carbohydrateaddicts Lifespan Program by Dr.'s Rachel and Richard Heller (ignore the stupid title, the research behind this is sound.) Find the book at your local bookstore, take the quiz and if appropriate for you, pm me and I'll put you in touch with a superb support group for followers of this.Originally Posted by stampit3d
Ya`ll are "teenie boppers"!
While I have lost at least a thousand pounds in my lifetime (50-100 here and there on variouse diets and over 200 on weight watchers I always seem to gain it back)
Everytime I get determined, I can lose, but it`s the keeping it off that i have a problem with.
I`ve pretty much decided I`ll most likely be a Yo Yo for the rest of my life and will probably die fat. (Unless on the off chance that I die at some point that there is a day that i`m thinner) Oh well...i`d rather be fat than mean.

It is a lifesaver for those it is appropriate for.
i browsed through the site but i didnt see anything specifically giving facts about being healthy and over weight. all it seemed to be was a bunch of articles criticizing other articles that talked about larger people.Originally Posted by amanda8501
