Hi everyone!

I just wanted to say hi, and that I lurk a lot!

I have very much enjoyed reading the journals here and have been wanting to add my own. So here goes...

Let's see... where shall I start? Well, how about an introduction? Great idea! My name is Heather and I live in Arizona. Yes, ANOTHER zonie! I have met up with the AZ ladies once for dinner and that was fun! I will have to join you girls the next time! I live in North Glendale and am a native of Phoenix. I am 31 and have been with and living with my boyfriend for about 11 years. Not sure when or if we will be married in the future. I just let time tell. I kinda believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. What keeps him around is that he can be so darn funny! :lol: I also have two cats (who act like toddlers!). One is Sable and the other Baby, hence my name. Both are co-dependent and one has a raging case of borderline personality disorder. :?

Okay, enough cat talk.

I work full-time as a Psychotherapist, and am a very part-time real estate agent. (I'd rather be a stay at home girlfriend.) Problem is my BF would love to be a stay at home boyfriend. I tell him sometimes that we both need to marry rich. :-P Anyhow, I plan to forgo the 9-5 thing and go into private practice next year. I CAN'T wait! I was planning on becoming a psychologist, but after my first year in my doc program I said enough of that! I NEVER want to write another paper again!

Let's talk about my weight now. I have been overweight my whole life. Well, I was fine coming out at 7 lbs but that's about the last time I saw a normal weight! I did lose 100 lbs twice, once about 6 years ago and again about 3 years ago (got down to a size 12!). Something like that. My highest weight WAS 312 on HS graduation day and I never surpassed that until this year. I weighed in at 321 this morning! Yuck! I am 5' 6" and a size 26. I used Medifast last year in June and stayed on for 5 weeks. The last 3 weeks were tough. I was hanging on by a thread. Then I fell off. I was feeling VERY weak and just couldn't do it anymore. I have a lot of lean mass and I think my body needs a bit more. I was even on the MF 70's. I probably should have done a 6 & 1 then. Well, I lost 21 pounds during that time and felt great about it. I later went back on but couldn't last too long.

I go back and forth with MF. One minute I think I can do it and then I try and then I can't take it another minute! I was drinking a shake every breakfast and morning snack for a few months just to lower my caloric intake and for the vitamins. And whenever I come on here I get so motivated! So, I don't know what to do. :?

So, I think this does it for an intro. I know a lot of you as I have lurked forever. I miss some that used to post on here last year. But, the crowd now is SO active and exciting, that definitely makes up for it. You guys ROCK! :hug:

Heather,
I'm so glad you've come out of lurking! I so enjoyed meeting you at the 2nd to last 'zonie get-together!

I look forward to hearing about your progress and I'm so glad you've started a journal!

Hi Heather! We met at the L&G meal. I lurk a lot too, sneaking around the boards. Good to see your journal!

Well something funny happened at work today. A co-worker of mine asked me if I was pregnant. :shock: I said, No way! :no: She said that I looked like I was in the face. I thought of course it was my tummy she was talking about. She insists that she's right about this as she is always right about these things. I just laughed. Then I told her that I AM 2 weeks late! So, of course she believes I am now. :rollrolleyes: I did take a pregnancy test last weekend and it was negative, but it was expired by a year! :shock: Anyhow, I thought it was humerous. I seriously do not think that I am pregnant. I was having a very on-time cycle until a couple of months ago. I was a week early and then a week late and now two weeks late. Strange, yes, but pregnant? I doubt it. I haven't ever been pregnant in my 31 years. And I haven't been the very most cautious person either. :oops: Oh well, I thought I'd share this funny moment.

I have had a MF shake for two meals each day for the last three days and then I come home and pig out. I have had my BF cook me dinner and he seriously makes like several courses and big portions. It also doesn't help that we finally had dinner at 10 pm last night (about 30 mins before bedtime!) Aw well!

Just two more days until the weekend! Also the Lane Bryant Outlet store is opening in AZ on Friday!! Yay! :whoohoo:

Maybe she just noticed "something" looked different and did not know what it was..next, she'll ask about your hair or clothes. Watch!

At the Anthem Outlet Mall. I saw it there the last time I went up and it looks like it will be good! I live up off of I-17 and Happy Valley, so it's not too bad of a drive (except for TRAFFIC!), so I'm heading there after work tomorrow.

You know, I FORGOT to mention to you AZ gals that my Bestfriend opened a Plus Size Clothing Outlet store! I just thought of it as she now has competition as an outlet. Anyhow, she carries mostly items from Macy's and a few assorted dept stores. It's all really good stuff and at GREAT prices! She also has designer handbags (including Dooney & Bourke and Coach!). It's called Fine Line Outlet and it's at 3131 E. Thunderbird (NE Phx).

Well, I am off to work. I hope to see rain today!

Hey there, I have been seeing your name around and thought I would check out your journal. I weighed the same as you when I started. I am closing in on my 3rd month on the program. I should have lost more weigh by now, but the way I look at it is...I have lost almost 30 pounds! If I would have not been trying I would have stayed the same or gained!

Anyway, feel encouraged, you can do this...do it with me! :mrgreen:
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Start Weight 326.7 ~ My short term goal will put me at 250!

Started June 19th 2008. First Mini Goal 76.7 pounds.
