I have been there before

Quote From: spanglish

 

    I've been up and down the scale many times, and for way too many years I've needed to lose over a 100 pounds.  I'm 5 '5 and weigh 275 pounds. For about 3 weeks I've been keeping a food diary, and exercising. I exercised 4 days this last week and 3 the two before. I've lost 3.5 pounds and 8 and half inches. I'm starting rather slowly. I just got a cast off my arm last Tuesday. The doctor said that I need to wait a couple of weeks before I use hand weights in my workouts.  I really want to finally be healthy. At 16 I starved myself to a 113 pounds and didn't feel good.

hi there, I too have lost weight (130) years ago,and know I need to really learn the right way to eat and excerise and most important for the right reasons. I had a complete knee replacement done a year ago and still find it hard to do the things I used to do,but all in good time. support is what we all need and I invite anyone that needs,as I sure need to be held accountable knowing someone else is out there doing the same thing I am. good luck Debbie

HELP BUDDIES

Quote From: madison4

This is my 3rd  time typing this, as I keep losing it at the end.  Maybe, that's God's way of telling me I wrote too much!  I take care of my 3 granddaughters and their father.  I need to lose 100lbs and need support real bad.  I want to do this once and for all, and I can be a great motivator for others but not myself.  I need support to get on the treadmill each and everyday.  Maybe, I could get to like it, after awhile. 

 

I am anxious to hear from you out there.  I live in Tacoma,WA and my email is smalp60@yahoo.com.  It doesn't matter what area you are from.  Thanks so much and God Bless.

I can understand the frustration you feel. As we get older it is harder to lose the weight. I too am better helping others but never myself. I need to lose 100 pounds too. I am in New Jersey and my email is wendyladycg@comcast.net. Let us all help one another! Carmela

hi all I am just starting ....

Hi there I am Gini I weigh 394  or so, I am not sure as regular Dr. scales wont weigh me so I will go  Monday to the hospital and weigh. I have been through a whole slew of diets every since I was a kid I have been overweight.  And I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I don't like the way I look and feel  and am ready  to get this  off of me. I have no will power AT ALL, and tend to loose interest in  diets after  a few weeks  if not  days so any support/encouragement would be great. Wish me luck lol  and I am looking forward to meeting  new  people  with my same situation.

hi,can relate to you with motivation problems and also health problems. I need to be accountable for my diet and excercise program. hope to hear from you debbie

Hello!

 

I too am a cancer survivor and am ready to be at a healthy weight for the first time in my life.  It seems like I fought like crazy to get rid of that horrible disease, but I've allowed myself to get to 236lbs without batting an eye.  I've finally realized that I need to fight being fat just as hard as I fought to survive before.  I easily talk myself out of eating right and exercising, but I've made changes in my schedule to allow time for focusing on those things. Now the hard part....doing it.  We share a struggle in staying motivated.  Maybe we can help each other through this process.  I thought about what I was doing last year at this time and it included wanting to lose weight.  In fact I could say that for each and every one of the last 17 years.  I want to be healthier and proud of the lifestyle I'm going to be leading next year.   Kudos for starting!  ---Adrian

  I have done this it seems like a million times before.  You sound so much like me.  I am better at helping everyone else but never me.  I start to do things for me but then other things seem to always get in the way.  Especially the job. 

 

I live in San Diego, and work at an elementary school with very needy students and parents.  We are always doing more and more to help them.  Parenting classes during the day and now we are starting them at night as well.  It really makes for long days.  I also need to lose about 100 pounds. 

 

Let's motivate each other.  My sign on name is radnana ( my grandkids idea)  my email is cjbess@peoplepc.com

Ready to start again....

Hey everyone...I am a 40 year old mom of three daughters who curently weighs 308.  I have been overweight my entire life and I am ready to start again.  I love when Dr. Phil says "do it once and get it over with" .  I thought I had won this battle 3 years ago after losing 131 pounds  using Dr. Phil's keys but I didn't commit myself fully to it and when my sister was diagnosed with cancer, instead of keeping going like I should have, I basically stopped my life to take care of her and her family, went back to my old habits and gained nearly every pound back..  I can hear Dr. Phil right now saying "stop making excuses" and I understand that.

..

The reality of this issue is that it is killing me and my daughters are following right in my footsteps.  There is a healthy, vibrant, fun loving woman inside of me and I want to find her and set her free.  I am really good at inspiring others but sometimes don't take my own advice. I am excited to join this message board because I don't really have a circle of support around me...so ready...set...let's go!

Hello!  It is great that you lost 131 pounds with Dr. Phil.  Now, you know that you can do it again.  It was very good of you to take care of your sister with cancer and her family.  I hope that she is doing well now.  It sounds like you are ready to lose the weight again.   Come check out the board " A fresh perspective to achieve weight loss success" on the Dr. Phil message boards.  There are some newcomers there and some oldtimers there so maybe you can find a circle of support there.  Good luck to you!  Take care! :) Bren

Starting yet again

I want to begin this challenge but feel like I've been here before. I need to lose at least 100 pounds. I have been yo-yoing for years. I'm probably at my highest weight ever. I also  have type 2 diabetes,  and high blood pressure. I'm only 43 and want to live a long life. I know I need to do something before I kill myself with the weight.

that is what got me off the couch too was dr.. phil says do it once and be done. or you can still be sitting there next year still weighing the same. I dug up his book also (at least i didn't sell it in a garage sell!! LOL) I don't really have a support system either but I'm ready to go!!!!! lets do this!
