My dr's (Both family and Psychiatrist) are on me about losing weight, so I guess I need to get my butt in gear and do it, I am morbidly obese and am at my highest weight in my entire life, although I lost 8 lbs since the new year, I have a long way to go... long long long way lol. God give me the strength to do it this time. I am going back on South Beach Diet (I have all the books so I might as well lol) Wish me luck! And thanks for letting me yap lol

It's the hardest thing in the world to do. I finally gave in almost 3 years ago and did a gastric bypass. Wish I had done it sooner, but I just wasn't ready. We all have a solution - we just need to find out what it is.
Best of luck! I'm in your corner!!! 2|2|Wish I could afford to do that but cant afford it and dont have any insurance. But good for you, I'm glad you found a solution! We all need a solution! TY for being in my corner|kandywolf|kandywolf@gmail.com|13:26:20|03/05/2010|

3|3|It's such a struggle! I totally understand Kandy!|sunriver|lithiasalt@cheerful.com|13:32:30|03/05/2010|
A couple helpful things for me:
sparkpeople.com where you can track calories fairly easily as well as set goals (not to say that I am able to follow through and keep them, but trying is a start!)
When I am being "good" I eat off of small plates to control portion sizes. I have issues with that because what I think is a portion normally winds up being two portions. Yikes! :0)
Same with any snacking. I have sometimes set up my days food in the morning down to bagging controlled amounts of snacks. Once it is gone that is all I can have.
I'm rooting for you! It is so darn hard to lose weight! I wish it was this hard to gain it, but I am a medalist at that! 4|1|I am using spark people love it! TY for the tips!|kandywolf|kandywolf@gmail.com|13:42:37|03/05/2010|

5|2|I'm with you, too..I am at my highest weight ever. Same weight I was when I was pregnant ! Ugh, its so hard to lose! |hudge4|hudge95@yahoo.com|16:20:02|03/05/2010|
~~Feedback link~~
http://www.refundsweepers.com/dcforum/feedback/1021.html 6|3|me too, I'm at the highest I've ever been....Well last time I weighed this, I was 9months preganant with my last child.....I'm 5'8 and weigh 180. I want to do Weight Watchers again, but can't seem to get into the "groove" with a new job and still having to feed a family of 6......that and eating healthy costs SO MUCH MORE than not|carmenanderson|cloudcars@verizon.net|23:01:12|03/05/2010|
8|4|Carmen, I agree....my biggest obstacle to eating better is cooking for the rest of the family, I could summon up my will power to eat nothing but healthy foods if I didnt have to cook (and be tempted by) other foods for them....I am going to have to come up with a new strategy, like cooking up my food for the week and packaging it up seperately.....I'm also at the heaviest I've ever been, and it is sooo much harder to get the weight to come off now than when I was in my thirties. :(|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:38:49|03/06/2010|

Is use ground turkey, or if you use beef you can rinse the fat off with hot water. I do that because I am too cheap to buy the leaner beef on the rare occasions we eat it (we live on chicken and turkey mostly) and rinsing the fat really helps cut it down and make it a bit better for you. I use a colander and everything. HTH
Edited because you do not rise the fat, you rinse it and I need to watch my spelling. LOL! 10|3|I'm not supposed to have white pasta on South Beach Diet, only Whole Wheat, so like I said DH will be eating alot of HH since he doesnt like my DIET Food. I told him god forbid he eats a fruit or Veggie, it might kill him lol. Must be nice to have a high metabolism|kandywolf|kandywolf@gmail.com|14:43:01|03/06/2010|

13|2|Right there with you too! My problem is thyroid and...|jdlaurie|savethosepennies@aol.com|23:06:58|03/06/2010|
depression meds that made me gain a bunch of weight. I'm at my heaviest as well. It really stinks! I'm trying to incorporate more fruits and veggies into my diet and cut out sugary drinks to start. I figure little baby steps will help...I need to learn to eat better and eat less. I'm trying to get my kids to try more fruits and veggies too. Right now I'm at just having them try the stuff... my son will eat just about anything... but my daughter absolutely hates to try fruit or veggies! I'm making her take at least one bite of each thing I give her.... maybe she'll actually like something
If I get hungry during the day, I've been grabbing fruit instead of chips. It's amazing... fruit fills you up! LOL I need to start exercising as well.... but I'm trying to get too much done right now.
I'm reading a good book on decluttering a house right now... if I can get some of that done, I will feel like I have so much time to do everything else.

lots to go
please include your user name on refundsweepers.
i appreciate all the trades made in the past.
THANKS!! 18|2|I lost 1.5 pounds in 2 weeks - its discouraging when I see numbers like that!|tonyas30|tonyas30@hotmail.com|10:05:48|03/08/2010|
I'm at my heaviest weight ever in my lifetime even heavier than I was with my pregnancies and I gained 73 pounds with my oldest lol
The steroids I took each time prior to my chemo infusions gave me a huge appetite after chemo. And wow did I ever pack on the pounds.
I've been walking 1.5 miles each day for the last 2 weeks (torture with only one working lung) and I only lost 1.5 pounds!
But at least I didn't gain.
I only drink water, have for about a year now. Occasionally I will drink Gatorade when my docs tell me too.
I eat breakfast and dinner. I have a fruit and 1-2 vegatables each time along with whatever meat we are having.
Problem is I have a love/hate relationship with Oreos. I have them a couple times a week.
So starting today, no more in the cupboard, no more for Tonya.
My goal is to lose 15-20 pounds by my 40th birthday (March 31)
and another 20-25 pounds by July 31st (komen 3 day walk - I want to walk this year)
~The only way to have a friend is to be one ~
24|3|Hang in there Tonya! :)|maraj|maraj64@hotmail.com|12:09:50|03/08/2010|
I've had to have Depo-Provera shots since my early 30's due to a medical problem & those shots have caused me to gain weight. Alot more than the average 5 lbs. per year that the medical data claimed. ;-p And I'm also at the heaviest I've ever been in my life, including my pregnancy. I could deal w/it alot better if it didn't affect my breathing so much & wasn't the biggest contributing factor to the acid reflux I've developed. Those shots have also contributed to loss of bone density. :(
I started walking & am eating more fruits & veggies & drinking more water. The walking was a real killer at 1st cuz my hips would hurt something terrible, but it's not so bad now & I'm increasing the distance I walk little by little. I'm also exercising inside the house (due to it being winter). But the main thing is, I'm increasing my lung capacity, making my heart & bones healthier & NOT gaining anymore weight.
My dr. says the best & healthiest way to lose weight, & to increase the chances of keeping it off, is to lose the weight slowly & gradually.
So hang in there, try to be patient & not get too discouraged. :)
We live in the Land of the Free only because of the Brave!
Please identify yourself in 1st email w/name/username. Due to recent problem trades, if I haven't traded w/you before, I will probably require you send your end 1st or I'll need LEGIT trade references/feedback. I will be happy to provide the same. IF you plan to hold your end til you've received mine, I will need to know that IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE trade is finalized.
19|1|Tonya, its a start, anything is better than gaining, it is discouraging though|kandywolf|kandywolf@gmail.com|10:14:02|03/08/2010|
