I hope by fall of 2015, I will have lost enough weight to run my first marathon. It is something of physical strength that I have never achieved that I added to my bucket list some time ago. I've been walking briskly to work on strength and stamina for a few months now.
I ran 2 miles today, cheated for a stroll to catch my breath a few times, but I did give it my best. I am sure the drivers passing got a laugh at a 250 lb woman jogging. So much woman giggling! Ha Ha!

losing 21.0 lb a week
24 November 2014
I actually started Atkins on the 1st of November. I began cutting carbs in August, but went to <20g/ day a month ago. I am not weighing in until I get a decent scale. I am pretty sure my large behind broke it. However, I am feeling better than ever. My pants fit looser than before and I have energy to spare. I can reach my toes now, AND I have seen my crotch again after 2 years. TMI, maybe, but it is an amazing achievement in my weight loss. Perhaps some other big person out there can feel my excitement. I have noticed I lost a back fat roll or two in the last month as well. I suggest Atkins Lifestyle for anyone who is a binge eater like me. After a week you don't feel hungry anymore. SO much in fact, I have to set alarms to remind me to eat.

I don't know how this website works. However I will share a small piece of my fat story.
I use to pity myself for being sick all the time. I used it as an excuse to sit around, pamper myself, and eat. I think I did it periodically throughout my whole life. Perhaps the depression I was in caused me to actually feel pain and sick. It wasn't until I actually got deathly ill in the spring of 2014 that I realized what it feels like to be legitimately "Sick".
I had an abnormal pneumonia that nearly killed me. During that time I lost about 20 lbs. I was bed-ridden in and out of the hospital for over 3 months. Although I was still considered to be obese, I was encouraged to eat healthy and begin moving around more to get back strength while my lungs cleared. It took another 3 months before I could make it across the house without going out of breath. It was that 3 months, after fearing for my life, but being too sick to care, that I ate and ate. I couldn't do much activity. I was weak. The recovery has been just as hard as the illness.
I gained back the 20 I lost and an extra 30 lbs.
It is time for a new chapter to my life. A new me. I am not sick. I do not hurt. I can breathe. There is nothing to hold me back anymore. I weigh nearly 250 lbs and I am 5'8. I will be strong again. I will be healthy once more.
I have been going to a Low carb/ High fat lifestyle. I started cutting carbs back in October to about 60/day, but November I do 20-25/ day. I feel stronger. I walk around the town without losing breath. I do an hour of Yoga and calisthenics everyday. I can open my own pickle jar.
There is nothing holding me back from a more healthy me.
