Hey, you've found dozens of carb addicts, many of which have had amazing successes. I've got nearly 300 pounds to lose and I'm actually *gasp* jogging. Albeit in one minute intervals surrounded by 4 minutes of fast walking, but I've got the energy to do it.
You have to make the following decisions:
1) I'm worth it. The frustration, the initial cravings, the other stuff will put you off, but you have to love yourself enough to make some sacrifices.
2) I will not quit. Make a firm promise to yourself and others. I personally swore that short of having a stroke, I would do Atkins for 6 weeks, no matter how bad or horrible. I'm 5 weeks in and deciding what my next commitement will be.
3) Set mini-goals and not scale oriented. The next blouse size, being able to walk/run for X minutes, etc.
Check in often and support others too and you'll be amazed at how you have to stay with your program.
