I'm overweight,have been for 20 years....I think about it at least 20 times a day...some days it consumes me and I am often depressed over it.  I don't have anyone living near me, friends or family, to loose weight together with...i'm trying to bring myself to getting on board and not waiting for 'some one else' to help me.

 

I just don't know where to start and when I do get started I don't stick to it for very long...I'm an all or nothing girl and this has got to come to an end.

 

I had double bypass heart surgery at 36 years old, I am not 52 and am overweight....

 

I hope this community and the upcoming series can get through to me...

 

Thanks to all for listening.

Back during the first time the UWLC happened, I lost over 75 pounds and was doing great. Unfortunately, I had some personal things happen and I blew it. I now have even more weight to lose than last time - I have never been this heavy, but its taking a toll on me. I have been miserable and wanting some support, feeling like I can't do this alone this time. When I saw that this was starting again, I was in tears. I so hope the support groups start up again like last time - they were so instrumental in my maintaining a focus. I started eating the way I should yesterday and know it will work again, and this time for good - I now have a son to look after and want nothing more than to be able to get on the floor and play with him, which right now, it breaks my heart that I can't. This is for him, and it will happen!

I watched the show tonight and it made me finally come onto this website!  I am glad for that because it looks great. 

 

I am 24 and I don't know my exact weight at the moment.  I can tell you that two weeks ago I was 208 pounds, and I am sure that I am around 215 now.  This has happened slowly, but soooo quickly, too.  Most of the time I don't think of myself as this big.  Then I see myself in the mirror and I just can't believe it.  I still don't seem to understand it though. Sometimes it is hard for me to "get it."  I am dangerously overweight and it is getting worse and worse.

 

My problem is that I need to grow up and change my life.  I do not know how and also do not try to make food.  I am a fast-food-aholic and I hate to clean.  I hate taking effort to make food, the preparation and the clean up.  (The rest of my house is a mess too, not just the kitchen!)  I don't feel like I have time either.  I have so many health problems and my life is so stressful that when I come home from work, all I want to do is eat and then lay in bed.  I'm not sure if I should get a gym membership or do videos that I have at home. 

 

My weight has gone up and down drastically and it is a horrible pattern.  I lost 30 pounds this past Jan-Mar.  I was 165 in March and now I have gained back the weight plus more for a net gain of 50 pounds in approximately 6 months. 

 

When I lose the weight again I want to keep it off for good.  This has to be my last attempt so that I never go back!  The picture I have on my profile is me at 125 pounds, my "normal" weight.  Those were the days, huh?  I want to be that person again.  I know I can do it.  Please pray for me and give me any tips or words of encouragement that you can.  I cannot continue like this.  This is a new night and tomorrow is the first whole day of the rest of my new life.

I am 46 and just watched the first weight loss show of the season and really want to loose some weight. I have lots of excuses why I shouldn't work out, and now could use some excuse free tips. I have two sons, 9th grade and 7th grade, I do not work out side the home but am always busy managing the household. This is the first time I have not had to work extensively with the school and my oldest son (special needs) so am feeling a bit in limbo about how long this will last (not having to go in everyday). My excuse to not go for a walk today is it's kind of chilly - 58 degrees. But I know the dog needs the walk and so do I. So . . . a little encouragement and support would be much appreciated.

I watched the show today. It wasn't what I expected. But it sure got to the root of the problem. It sure took me for a loop when a husband calls his wife a fat b****. Call me naive but how can someone do that to the one they love? The two brothers was heartbreaking.  Good to hear that we're not crazy when we talk to over deceased parents. There are still times when I'll reach for the phone to tell my mom something then realize she's gone. Now that they got to the root of their overeating they can look at eating in a totally different way.

It also took me for a loop that all their meals are already prepared. Not really sure what they'll learn for that. I was expecting them to learn how to prepare meals for them self.

I can't wait for the next show to see what direction it's going to take.  Good luck to all the couples. Hang in there believe in yourself and you'll make it.
