Starting over

Hello - My name is Dianna. Over the last 8 years I have gotten pretty lazy. Now it a must that I take my weight off. My heaviest weight is 306 lbs. I went to my doctor because i could not move without feeling like I was going to die. My legs would swell up they looked like they were going to rip. So I went to a new doctor who listened. To help me start out he put me on Phentomine, water pill and Potasseum. As of today I have gone from 306 to 282. Depending on the day. But now it is all on my own. He took me off the phentamine. I pretty much need to drop a whole person to be health. So I am starting over today

    I'm also starting over. At my heaviest I was 233lbs. I had lost all the way down to 185. Now add trying to move, my house not being ready so I had to stay with my sis and mom for a month. (2 br apartment with my 2 kids) No room to do my usual exercise and just plain depressed. I am now 210lbs. I was sooo disappointed. I look at my size 14 jeans that I wore just last year and want to cry. So now I am trying to get back on the saddle and it is so hard to lose the pounds I put back on. Even harder than when I first lost the weight. I just try to stay encouraged, try not look at the scale too often and remember that everyone has set backs. It's how you come back from them that counts. :)
