We are 2 OBESED friends, in our 11th year of friendship. In these 11 years we have been though everything together, 2 weddings, a divorce, 5 kids, deaths, moving around, also - the kilos (gaining & losing), and not to mention a mild heart attack. We have decided that after a very serious sign, a mild heart attack, that today, January 1st, 2007 is the 1st day of a new begining for us. This group is dedicated to out weight loss, our ups & downs, our feelings & thoughts but most of all saying GOODBYE TO OBESITY for good!!! Not only is this group for us, BBW1 & BBW2 ( we will explain these names later), but for everyone out there who wants to lose weight, and who also want to say GOODBYE TO BEING SUPER SIZED for good!!! Let me tell you a little about me!!!   I am BBW2, ( we have chosen to use these names, and we are embarrassed about being so big, and will continure to hide our identy until we are at our goal weight), and much more overweight then BBW1.    At 215 kgs, and my heaviest, I am walking the short road to a heart attack, it might not be mild like BBW1's was, but am sure its waiting for me.   I have been overweight pretty much my whole life.  And I find when I am boared, is when I eat the most.  I am not a huge junk food person, I wont sit at home and think that I want a chocolate, then feel that I have to run out and buy one, but I do eat KFC, and MACCAS, its all junk food.   About 4-5 years ago, I got diabeties, not nice having to inject insulin everynight, but untill I lose this weight, thats what I have to do, and the longer I keep this weight on, the more harm I am doing to myself and my family.   BBW1 and I have been on many diets, and they have cost us alot of money over the years, but when you are this big, you will do and try just about anything.   The 1st weight loss/diet we tried, was jenny Craig, forking over $300 plus for a life time membership, and only using it for 1 week,  pretty sad arent we.  Then I think we moved onto Weight Watchers, and then there was accupuncture, lits n easy, healthy eating, weitht watchers, opti-fast, terry ferguson, we have triend them all and nothing seems to work.   Untill now that is, we are not going to do anything special, and there is no money to hand over, only what we use at shopping.  We are just going to cut out the junk food, and walk and sensible with eating.   There is no use me going to a gym, its just a waste of money for me as I am so unfit, and can only walk short amounts.   We will check in with our my space weekly to let you know how we are doing, and whats been happening with us.   I will add a pic to next time I am here.   Love BBW2
