Welcome

Good Morning,

My name is Michelle and I was fat.... OK so I still struggle with weight issues, however I am over the biggest hump of it all.
Aside from the effect my weight had on my mobility and of course the social stigma us plus sized women go through, the part I really hated the most was all the Bullsh!t advertising and false hope mongering of these psuedo professionals. So many drugs, so many diets, From Atkins, Weightwatchers, Jenny Craig, LA Weightloss, Hoodia, and various other forms of speed - Come on people, the weight problem is not in my wallet... in fact it is rather Anorexic as far as wallets go - My purse on the other hand :)




So now onto the purpose of my rambling. Since overcoming the largest part if my weight loss I realised there needs to be some community support out there. Not the false kind which offer drug store solutions to lifestyle issues or those who pretent to care - so long as you pay for a membership. I'm talking about real support, support that comes from the heart without expectations of pecuinary reward. Yes I have a weight problem, yes I am dealing with it, no I don't want to empty my wallet any further for some false profit.

So let's talk. This is a blog to share experiences, successes and shortfalls. What has worked for you and what hasn't. Come on men and women together, lets unite and fight the battle of the bulge together.

Michelle

PS I always hate it when programs and people state statistics. Yes I have lost a substantial amount of weight. I will not go into the exact figure because it is all relative. All humans are unique, as are their metabolism's. A number is just a number, how you feel is the important part and I FEEL GREAT!!!
