NEED TO LOSE 250LBS-300

Obese individual..Several health issues, w/ chronic steroid usage for over 10 yrs. I have Cushings Syndrome. The endocrinology Doc has me on Phentermine. I'm a HOT MESS! Can anyone else relate in any way? I'm tired, but need to do something, I don't want to die soon. I can't blame my medical conditions anymore! :(
it's getting old. Wish i had real friends...

    Welcome to the boards. Its along road for anyone of us no matter how much we need to lose. Do you have a plan? Hopefully your doctor has not only prescribed Phentermine but has given you a meal plan. If not you need to get one to help you along this journey. Good luck and go on the other threads you may find some useful help.

    Visit and read the success stories- there are many who have lost large a very large amount of weight with simple diet- that is cutting calories, and moderate exercise, and even some who have lost without exercising much if at all at first. You will find inspiration and friends who will encourage you every step of the way because they have been there.
