Please come to the 200+ board
Quote From: gagirl69Hello. I am 36 years old and have been married 14 years. We have a 7 year old son and he is overweight too. I weigh over 450lbs and very , very tired of being that way. Thank God my son has lost 4 pounds!!!! He is very active, always outside playing and jumping on the trampoline. he drinks water all the time even when he eats and thats not much at all. And when we go out, he orders a diet drink. I pray that he continues to loose the weight and that I can start. My problems is not with eating awhole lot. Its because of lack of exercise. My sister lives next door to me and I am out of breath just walking to her house, and its not far at all. I AM TIRED OF BEING TIRED ALL THE TIME. I have looked into having gastric bypass , but have no money to pay for it. and sad to say no insurance either. Thanks and God Bless You We have several people who started in the 400s and some even higher. And they are losing!! I started at 360 and am losing too, even though I have very bad arthritis and deterioration in my knees that prevents me from walking. There are other alternative exercises to do and by just starting 5 minutes a day (or even one minute five times a day) it's a start. Please come to our 200+ message board under the Weight Loss Challenge Discussion section of the message boards (you need to click Message Boards and Scroll down to find us). I know you'll be glad you joined our group and you'll have the loving, caring support we all need along the journey. We who have a lot to lose have unique challenges that someone with only 30 or 50 lb. to lose cannot possibly understand.
It's possible to lose the weight, get healthy and NOT have to resort to life-threatening surgery. Most insurance companies don't pay for that surgery and it is extremely expensive. And even then, some who have had it wind up gaining the weight back again!! And some die. Yes, some people die on the table or shortly after the surgery. It is really not the best alternative for most people--surely it's worth a try to come to our board and work through the 7 Keys. We have been offered a gift and it's up to us to choose to accept it. Please come on over. We need you as much as you need us.
