Topic : 0 Anybody here who needs to lose weight desperately like me?

Hi,

I do need to lose weight desperately also and would like to give and receive support and encouragement from anyone willing.  This seems to be a fairly active board.  The last one I tried every one sort of gave up and I had no one to travel this path with so I'm really hoping that doesn't happen this time.  I have to go  now but I will post another  message soon about myself.  I need help maintaining hope.

 

Thanks,

Betty

Hi again,

 

I am 53 years old but have always had trouble with my weight.  We didn't learn how to eat healthily in our family of origin.  I am addicted to sugar and carbohydrates.  I am an emotional eater.  I am 5'6" and weigh 271 lbs.  I really need to lose at least 100 lbs and am afraid that I can't do it.  I have alot of physical problems that could be helped with weight loss.  I have a neuromuscular disorder, sleep apnea, arthritis, asthma and a wrecked back (low back herniated discs and stenosis).  My husband is supportive  of me trying to do this.  He says he will eat more veggies even! :)

 

I have Dr. Phil's 7 Keys book and got up to the 6th one last time.  I have a treadmill and a Bowflex and have been practicing Tai Chi for about 14 years.  I have had about a 9 month lay off from all of those because of the pain from my back.  The pain isn't better but I'm going to try to do this even so.  I managed to walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes yesterday and plan on doing so today.  It was pretty rough, but I did it!  I plan on starting to read his book from the beginning again today. 

 

I pledge to you that I will come to the computer every day to check this message board.

 

That's all for now.

Betty

Dear Kay,

 

I would like to be in a relationship such as you propose in your message.  I too need help with support and encouragement in this effort of losing weight.  Talk to me about what's going on and I'll see if I can help.  Right now I am in the herky-jerky beginning stages where some days you do good and some other days you don't.  I haven't gotten it to be consistent yet.

Hello Anyone,

 

The last message posted that wasn't mine was on July 15th.  This is now August 10th.  If noone on this board wants to work on this weight thing and doesn't reply soon I am going to try to find another board that has active folks on it.  I need help and am frustrated by the lack of activity on this board.

 

Most sincerely,

Betty

Hope you have checked back to see if anyone found your post.   I certainly understand your frustration with the inactivity on the boards at this time.   During the orginal challenge the boards were alive and very well used.  I was one of those who were on the boards almost daily and who lost weight.  i've managed to keep that weight off but have not been good about losing any more.  

 

Now I'm having some issues relating to the excess skin from the weight loss and my MD has told me that my insurance will pay for it's removal due to these issues.   But before I do that I want to lose an additonal 50 pounds.   I've found one thread on here that is very active.  Not a large number of people but very supportive and motivating     Here is the link to my post today to that thread.   Hope you will check it out and I'll come back here tomorrow to see if you got my message.   You can also check my profile for email and write me.   I welcome support and will do my best to return the same.

Hello!  I am a 28 year old single mother of a 5 year old.  I am at my highest weight right now (295lbs. 5'8" tall) and I desparately want to get healthy.  I just bought Dr. Phil's book The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom.  I am determined to lose the weight and would like to know if there is anyone out there who would like to do it along with me.  Im just looking for someone to chat with frequently for support, etc.  It could be someone who lives close who would want to walk, excersize together, etc. or someone across the states who would be willing to chat, etc. every so often...

Hi, I read your post and understand just how you are feeling. I would love to chat with you ... I also desperately want to get healthy and woke this morning feeling positive about beginning a new healthy lifestyle. Please email if you would like to chat, best wishes Jo (UK)

HI!  Thanks for the reply.  I would love to chat and keep in touch.  I think its going to be a lot easier to do this with someone who is going through the same thing, ya know?  Have you bought the book?  I have just started reading it and with how busy my days are its taking me a little bit of time.  My name is Chrissy...I look forward to chatting with you!

anyone in the Murphy, NC area?  I'd love to have a weigh loss and work out buddy, or even a chat buddy with similar interests.  We have horses and dogs and love cruises.  you can email me at

tartanacres204@aol.com   hope to chat soon.
