Weight Loss

Hi Folks, I am a 55 year old male that is diagnosed as morbidly obese. I am very depressed about my wight as many others i'm sure but now I am desperate to do the right thing and get back to my old self. I have not been big all my life and this is what makes it so difficult for me. I'm ashamed to leave the house. I need help! I am seeking a support group in my area and some tips and suggestions on how to start feeling better. I had a work related injury that aggravated some pre-existing spinal conditions so walking and standing is difficult now. Someone please help! I don't know how to start. Ken

Hi. I suggest befriending a bunch of people until you find someone who can give you some advice. Some of the people on this site have great insight and give really helpful advise. I am struggling as well and I'm not sure how I can even help. I started by logging in my food everyday and doing my best to stay within the guidelines provided. I recently started walking. The biggest thing is that I befriended a lot of people on this site. Again, some of them are really helpful. Sorry I couldn't help much. I hope you find the help you need.
