Topic : Join the 100 Pound Club

My name is Penny and I am also in the same boat of course.  I weight 240 and I am 45 years old.  I really want to lose weight bad but it is hard.  I have been overweight most of my life.  I really need to get down to business.  We all need to help each other.  Talk to you later.

Hello everyone!  My Name is Georgette and I have lost 50 pounds using Weight Watchers and Dr.  Phil's Books.  I weighed 247 pounds in January and desided I could take control of my life and joined WW.  I love it I can still enjoy food, but all ready feel so much better I cannot Imagine what another 50 pounds off is going to feel!  I can tell you all that remember I did it 1 pound at a time and I remind myself I never have to see that pound of fat again! I find strength in my friends and family and I read Dr.  Phils books over and over.  I am excited to talk with others who are going through the same thing. I walk for exercise.

I am also in a wheelchair due to post-polio.  I have Richard Simmon's exercise video which I really like plus another one called Chair Dancing (I think).  I haven't had them out in a while, but they do help and you can do as much or as little as you are able.  One of the best things I have done was to have a 'buddy' who I had to report to every day, whether I exercised or not and why.  If I didn't call her, she called me.  It was terrific, but I got sick and never got back on board.  We can do this.  Jeanette

I have tried every diet known and some made up.  I need to loose at least 100 pounds.  I am going to try again with this weight loss challenge that Dr. Phil has started.  I am going to reread his book, start going back to curves and trying to figure out what foods I should and should not eat.  I have medical issues that will get worse if I do not get this weight off.  I have no one I can get support from and I really need a sounding board and advise.  I hope this will be a good place to get support.

I watched today's show plus I have read the book as well. I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life. I have at one time lost over 75 lbs but have since gained most of it back. I am so ready to join this challenge and do it with the people on the show from today

I am 53 and have gained 100 lbs over the last 10 - 15 years. Medication and age/hormones were major contributors. I lost 16 lbs summer of '07 but have gained it all back. I started a 'boot camp' last month and felt big improvements in my fitness but now I am on the couch as I sprained by back. Presently I am feeling pretty discouraged. But that is the problems. I am on-board and am going to be working on my weight-loss and fitness. I will get my back better and get going and stay on my food plan (to the best of my abilities)! Good Luck everyone!

I am a 37 year old mother of 2 wonderful boys. I am a nurse and know full well the deadly consequences of being overweight. I thought when I hit 250 lbs that it would motivate me to lose weight and I did, almost 20 lbs before I found out I was pregnant. Well that was all she wrote for that story. I am now at an all time high of 300 lbs and am totally miserable. My son is now 4 years old and I find it so difficult to keep up with him. I am tired of being the "fat" mom that sits on the bench when i take him to the park. My blood pressure has gradually started to creep up and I know that I am at a huge risk for so many life threatning diseases. I am ready to do this, I am determined.

I'm with you ,we can all do this together. we all got to have hope
