You are all an inspiration to me! I have hope for the first time in my life regarding my weight and regaining my health!

OK, I'm planning to start McDougalling 100% of the time tomorrow But I wanted to be on today's weigh in. Hopefully I won't put on a lot of weight today!

I just love this new board, it has inspired me to start posting again! (I HATED the pop-ups on the old board.)

veganruthie, I'm apple shaped, not so good healthwise I understand.

[Porcelain Interior]

There is like 3 weigh in threads. This one seems the most official so here I go again....

136/122/110 (That is the way ya'll are doing it right? High weight-current weight-goal weight?)

And a little about me,

27 years old until next Friday
5ft 3 1/2 inches
Married with two daughters
Live in Western Washington State

And I am McDougalling to improve my health and seeing if it has any positive effect on my bipolar disorder. I began in earnest on October 5/6th and lost 14 lbs pretty fast. I think some was fluid retention because of my high sodium diet, and I am sure some of it was also due to sluggish bowels. Ew, but true. The rest is probably fat loss yay.

I have known about and believed in McDougalling for over 3 years, though have had a really hard time sticking with it. I have arthritis and some other issues so I am really compelled to stick with it this time. I have gotten 2 people converted to this diet, one is my best friend and she has lost 22 lbs since July.

Looking forward to staying the course with ya'll.

(Oh and the weight of 136 is my highest ever, which isn't a lot compared to some, but it was due to medication and sour cream, and I have always had a natural weight of 110-114 when I am active and I want that again.)
