    What a mean doctor. Well my name is Regina and I'm overweight as well. I started out at 213 and now I weigh
    197 and lost 10.5 inches off my bod by joining curves. If I can do it you an do it cause I never thought I could.

    I certainly hope that your doctor took a look at your ankle, at least! My biggest beef with doctors is that they don't even bother to listen to overweight patients' ailments. They take one look at you and say, "you need to lose weight." WELL, NO DUH, idiot, but I'm here because I have an infected cut on my behind from running through the woods and snagging my shorts on a tree branch! Or, I have a sinus infection that's making it hard for me to breathe ... it's not the weight that's making me wheeze! I get it that extra weight can and does cause a lot of medical issues. But, NOT EVERYTHING IS RELATED TO THE WEIGHT ISSUE! You're ankle might be swollen because of a sprain or bee sting or snake bite, for goodness sakes! Keep working on the weight, exercise and eat better. You're among those who understand here! And, find another doctor who will listen to your ailments before judging you!

    It's the same if you are a smoker...the doc's answer to your gynecological problems will be to 'quit smoking'.

    Only half? I've lost a whole person with a half to go.. :) I'm just hoping I didn't lose the good looking parts because I didn't have much of that to start with.

    Welcome aboard!!

    Argh, that makes me so mad!! I went to the immediate care place here a couple of weeks ago because it hurt to breathe. No fever, no sniffles, no cough, no other symptoms... and all the doctor wanted to talk about was my weight! That's the second and last time I will go there because it happened the first time I went there. I found a lump in my throat that wasn't there the day before, went there, the doctor did a VERY basic exam before telling me it was my thyroid and I should get my numbers checked. It didn't matter that I had them checked about three months before. He insisted it was my thyroid and I probably just hadn't noticed the lump, it wouldn't show up that quickly..... Well, it turns out, technically he was right. It was a cyst on my thyroid.

    Yes, I'm fat, I know I'm fat. My cholesterol is fine, my blood sugar is fine, my thyroid is fine. Now can we please discuss the REAL reason I'm here?!?! :) Okay, rant done....

    BTW, Welcome FatMama!!

    My husband went to the dr's with severe poison ivy. Before looking at the rash the doctor did a circle motion around my husband's belly and said "you need to get rid of all this" Me being the good wife I am bursted out laughing but really, last I checked poison ivy affects skinny folks too!

    Reminds me of an old Herman cartoon. Herman goes to see the doctor and the doc says "ok Herman, based on my charts and your weight, you should be 42 feet tall".

    Hi love the purse by the way. I am new too. Also artsy fartsy, I love to sew, paint and write, about anything that requires my own ingenuity. I feel at my best when being creative. Unfortunately it is not good for weight loss. So here we are. I am living in a hotel for the next month with 3 kids a cat and dog and my husband until we close on our house. We have been eating out a lot!!!!! After 3 kids my already out of shape bod is just a wreck. I hope to find some support here. I don't have a scale right now but can tell I need to lose about 50 lbs. I am looking forward to trying to do this and plan on using the hotel gym and pool and walk around the little walking track outside. Hello group!!!!!

    Hi, I'm 1fatmama also but hoping this site will help me. Funny, my doctor always tells me "WE need to lose weight or YOU'RE going to die" Funny how it changes from "we" to "me". Hope you have lots of success here (as well as myself)

    That is FANTASTIC that you two are doing this together!!! :drinker: It is so much easier when you have someone to do it with you because you can then hold each other accountable. Yeah, it is great to have all of us here as well, but when you have someone standing right next to you to support you, it is wonderful!!

    Good luck to both of you on your journey!! :flowerforyou:
