Oh, Ray!!!
I'm so very proud of you! You've worked so hard at this, and you're really making huge strides!
Your determination and "never give up" attitude are a HUGE inspiration to me. You stay so focused on what you want to achieve... I want to be like you!
I know you're at work, and you might not see this before you leave for WDW. But that's okay, because I'll get a chance to tell you how proud I am in person in just a few days!!!!

Congratulations, Ray. I've missed seeing your posts, you are such an inspiration to all of us!
Hope you are enjoying your trip. When I was there in early Nov. I also had a few treats planned for the week (never did get my Mickey Bar!!!) and came home with a 3lb gain. I dropped it all the first week back however.....just did induction that week.
Sure wish I could be doing the DISmeet with all of you, perhaps you'll head back in Jan '05 when a lot of WISHers will be doing the 1/2 marathon.....what a party that will be!

It has been a long time since I have posted. I've gained so much weight back. I have not weighed myself, but I am using my walking cane more at work, and I get so out of breath when I walk. Of course, my clothes are tighter. I hope to get serious about losing weight again. I guess by posting here, I may think more about getting serious about losing weight.
Best Wishes and God Bless to everyone, Ray

Well...it has been a very long time.
I really think that I am ready to start again.
I bought my first mobility scooter from ebay the other day, but it has a 300-lb. weight limit. I hope to use it at WDW and maybe an Atlanta Braves baseball game.
I also ordered a "South Beach Diet" book from ebay, too.
I just made my first low carb meal of broccoli, squash and hamburger. I haven't got the book yet.
So I am going to switch from Adkin's Diet to South Beach Diet.
On Atkin's I got down to 275-lbs.
I now weigh 353-lbs.
I know...I can't believe it either.
I gained 78-lbs.
I hope that I can make it through the weekend at work and then for one full week without cheating.

Hi Ray!
It's so good to see you back, and I'm sending all my good thoughts and best wishes that you reach all the goals that you set for yourself! You're such a sweet and caring person, and I hope you know how many of us you've touched with your kindness and thoughtfulness--and we're here to give it all back to you tenfold!
I know how difficult it can be to change your eating and exercise habits. I lost 110 pounds and have been maintaining for over a year and a half, but it would be the easiest thing in the world for me to slip back into my old eating patterns (and I have on more than one occasion done just that)! I realize that I will have good days and not-so-good ones, but I now know that temporary setbacks don't make me a failure--it just makes me human, with ups and downs like in every other aspect of life. Getting right back up on after falling off the old proverbial horse is the best thing you can do for yourself when your day doesn't necessarily go as you would have liked. Keep your setbacks in perspective and do not beat yourself up! These struggles are just all part of the nature of the weight loss beast.
You can do this, Ray, and you have so many, many friends behind you! I'll be keeping your sweet self in my prayers!
