Hello Everyone:  This is my first post in about a year.  I and some friends had started a Dr.Phil Weight Loss Solutions group last September 2004, but have since stopped meeting.  We really enjoyed meeting and were beginning to accomplish things.  Until I got really sick.  We haven't met in over 6 months and I really miss it.  We use to meet once a week and talk about the book and the difficulties we were having.  Talk about out successes and what works for us.  I would love to get the group going again and stick to the book.  I have, since the group finished gained about 35 lbs.  I need someone other than myself to be acountable to.  I am looking for some people in Prince George, BC who might be interested in joining a weight loss solutions group.  I know this can work for anyone who truly is ready for it.  I know that I need the group support to follow through.  I can get to the gym, I can eat well, I just need someone other than myself to be accountable to.  I know that we can form great friendships.  If anyone is interested please email me.  nannahtopaige@yahoo.com

Hi everyone. I haven't posted for a while. But anyone who wants to talk or moral support can email me at mobiushellafax@yahoo.com Personally Dr Phils weight loss solution is working for me and I'm absolutely ecstatic. I feel alot healthier and lighter. :)

I lost forty-two pounds in four months and have hit a plain.I can not seem to get past this one weight.What is Dr Phil way?I am new to this sight.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

i am post gastric bypass i once weighed 350 i am now down to 172 i have been fighting obesity sonce a young child. i have some to terms that its not just weight it is an addictsion. i was and still am addicted to food, even though i had gastric bypass i still think of food constantly. i feel that a support person/group an dprofessional help is much neeed in my situation and think some others coul dbenefit from it. the reson im posting this is because i feel that when you los the weight no matter whater what it will always be a battle and you need some kind of support system in place. just my input....

I wish people knew what it was like to be obese.  That is it...I am fat. I don't know why my body insists on eating.  My stomach doesn't say "hungry". It is my taste buds that scream " Food" !  So I feel that I am eating for mental reasons rather than physicall hunger.  What do we do? It is a constant battle. We eat because we are fat and people make fun of us which makes you more hungry and depressed.  I don't just sit down and pig out on a box of donuts everymorning. Matter of fact..I am a diabetic because of my weight.  I very rarely eat a candy bar, but when I buy one, I feel like the whole world is watching and thinking, "That fat person is eating Candy !!!". the guilt is so strong.  I can't enjoy a good treat without thinking.   I know that I shouldn't care about what people think, but you know what....I do. I want people to like me. I want to have friends.  When you must go a life of ridicule and no friends, ( true friends),  you see how important it is to have a friend.   I am a good person.   I wish people knew what it was like to have people pay more attention to weight than who you are. I have yet to find someone to agree. Maybe I am wrong, but I think not. Everybody needs a friend. I just don't have one. 

They say the best way to have a friend is to be one. I'd like to invite you to come and be a friend to our group here on the Dr. Phil message boards--there's a special board called 200 pounds or more to lose. But we also have a few people with a little less than 200 lb. to lose. Yes, we are obese, but we are helping one another to get healthy. Many of our members are diabetic or insulin resistant. We are all good people and caring. You won't find criticism there--just loving, caring help from friends who are in the same boat. I hope you'll look us up and join our little group. Together we are doing it!! And we all need more friends, so won't you please come and help us too?

I have 140 pounds to lose and will be going to an educational meeting this evening for the gastric bypass.  I know it is what I want to do it is just a matter of getting an insurance company that will pay for it.  My husband feels I would be much like you with the surgery and I tend to agree, but I have to start somewhere and losing the weight is a great way to strat.  I have been advised by friends who have had the surgery that going to the support groups is a must.  How long has it been since you had your surgery?
