Quote From: hangouttodry

Hi! I'm Pam from Ontario (the one in Canada!) Looking for some support, and a user-friendly message board. Needed to lose 45 pounds. Lost the first 25 with Dr. Phil a year ago. Then things turned a little goofy with my aging parents and I've been kind of stuck there since. I have an overweight husband who isn't interested in changing his lifestyle, so not very helpful! Things are still goofy with my aging parents. So any support I can give or get will be helpful I'm sure.

 

Thanks!

Welcome to the board.  We aren't so busy now, but I return here daily in hopes of finding some support. 

 

Gosh I understand how goofy life can get with aging parents.  My brother and wife live with my parents, but they only do what they do.  So I am left with the over-flow and that is crazy enough.  It's hard to have time of my own when I'm off work and often just wears me out mentally so that it is hard to think about cooking.  Thank goodness, I am single again and don't have to cook for anyone else.

 

I am from Kansas and I lost 60 pounds with Dr P several years ago and gained some of that back with some craziness in my life.  But I have hung onto the 30 lb loss and haven't relinquished it.  It has taken me forever, but I am losing again even though I can't seem to get to the gym like I should be.  I should have gone last night, but I was so mentally tired that I collapsed in a chair and stayed there.  That's not good.

I teach high school and some days are just draining.

 

If you care to stay around, some more people might join us.  This website is the easiest to negotiate that I've found.  I just need support--I don't need all the other bells and whistles.  But, like I said.  I'm here and sometimes I just post to myself.

 

Interested in discussing the keys?  I need to refresh myself again, so I'd be happy to get real.

 

Hugs,

Anita

Hi Pam, Welcome!  It is great that you have already lost some weight with Dr. Phil.  I have lost 55 pounds with the help of a Dietian and following Dr. Phil's 7 Keys.  I really like these message boards, however, they have been slow lately.  Anita and Gertie are the best and I am glad to see that they have been supporting you.  Keep posting.  Take care! :) Bren
