I am new and just thought I would say hi.
I dont know exactly how much I weigh because the Drs scale only goes up to 300.
I once got weighed on a laundry scale at the hospital but that was very embarassing, so I am just guestimating my weight.
I will be using measurements to see if I am doing well or not.
I have at least 150 ponds to lose.
I am 43 and live in Ontario Canada.
I dont know what else to say right now .
I look forward to "meeting you"...

Hi TooMuch. I'm new here as well. I try not to dwell on weight but on inches and how I fit into clothes.

I look forward to getting to know you and losing with you.

Really nice to see a fellow Ontarian here

Good luck with your program, low-carb is a wonderful way of eating.

See you around the forums!

Welcome 2 much,

You will see how great this forum is and the support you need.

I invested in a good scale that weighs to 500 becuase I knew I would be doing this the rest of my life, and I need the scale to be my friend.

Before I never had a scale and look what happened to me.

I weigh every day and it doesn't bother me to see it go up a bit because eventually it goes back down lower.

Hi and welcome to the family! I am new here too, been on Induction 8 days. You will find everyone here to be extremely friendly, supportive, and helpful.

Good luck and here's to a thinner us!!

this is the best place to be. I love this forum. Please don't hesitate to email me. I need all the support I can get too. Start your journal. You will be so successful. This is the one and only diet that I have truely been successful on. I am only weighing in once a month now....it is hard for me to not focus on the weight. Once a month allows me to focus on how my clothes fit...and that is a good thing....

WELCOME...AND BE ENCOURAGED!!!!!

welcome, Welcome, WELCOME!

So glad ya joined us! I'm looking forward to hearing about you becoming a 'loser' like the rest of us!

See ya around!

Welcome! There are so many different ways to track your progress besides just weighing, and we'll cheer you on whichever way you choose!

Welcome 2 much,

I had the same problem with weighing when I started. My starting weight is listed as 360, but that is just a guess because my doctor's scale only went up to 350. I think I may have even been higher than 360 -- perhaps 370? What matters is not the starting weight but that I have lost a lot of weight and you will too. I couldn't get weighed for the first several months, but I started feeling better right away and then my clothes started getting looser. If you weigh over 350, I think it takes at least 20 or 30 pounds before you notice it in the way your clothes fit -- and more if everything is elastic -- so don't worry if you don't notice a change in the clothes right away. This way of eating really does work and you will lose weight!

Welcome! Glad you found us -- be sure and start a journal (if you haven't already) so folks can drop in and say hi!

Welcome here! You're gonna love it!

I'm from Canada also (Québec) but I leave in Texas now!

I wish you the best!

Hi,
just a line to say hello, and welcome. I must say this forum is great for support and everyone is so friendly, don't delay to start a journal and soon you will have loads of like minded individuals posting and supporting you every step of the way.

All the best

Graeme
