in Motivation and Support
Well it has been 5 months since I ended my diet and I'm basically back to where I started!! BLAH! And the news I got today was I have moderate sleep apnea, which leads to lots of problems and I either should get a CPAP machine, which new costs like 1200-2000 dollars, or a used one which costs 300-500 dollars. I really don't like the idea of buying something for a medical problem I created that I could solve on my own by losing weight. A lot of people who lose weight with sleep apnea have a reduction in their sleep apnea, or lose it completely. The more weight you lose the better the results. So....guess I'm coming back to this site and am going to try to lose weight again and keep it off this time. If I fail at losing weight and keeping it off then I'll just have to get a used CPAP, or if the sleep apnea doesn't go away. In the mean time I can get a CPAP for a month for free from a company to see if it actually makes me feel better. Here we go!

I am looking for friends that are between 200-350 pounds looking to lose more than 20 pounds. I need some people to help motivate me and I want to be helpful towards other in return. Please message me if you are interested :-).

    I would love to help support you as well. I am currently at 287 (Ughhhhh I still haven't even told my hubby exactly how much I weigh) But I started out at 307. I have officially lost 20 pounds since starting my diet and exercise but only recently joined fitness pal. I'm not in the sleep apena boat (Want to prevent that at all cost) But I am in the high blood pressure or was (It was 167/110 At my heaviest 307) it was starting to get outta control. My doctor was about to put me on meds and I said no I don't want to. He said you prove to me in 30 days you can loose weight, exercise, and eat right I will just moniter you every 30 days. I have..... I haven't used any meds. I eat all fresh and organic. No preseveratives or canned foods. In just the last 30 days I feel like my body has had a complete makeover =) On the sleep apnea machine I wanted to mention to you call around and ask several different places. We have a few places around here that actually rent or lease the actual machine you just have to purchase your own masks. Worth a shot that's for sure.

    Good Luck!!!!!

    I absolutely interested, I just started back 2 weeks ago. Im the age my mother was when she found out she was Type 2 Diabetic. Both her and my Grandmother passed way too early from complications, I need to break the cycle and be a great example to my children. I started this at 275 and am concentrating on getting to 200, and then I will take my next goal from there. :wink: Jen

    Hi! I wanna support you on your journey.

    I started in MFP at 276 lbs but I got to 284 lbs before I started taking getting fit seriously. I had sleep apnea then. Got lot of complaints from my family to my roomies. Now I'm down to 225 lbs. I'm feeling better and sleeping better. I'm planning to be at 220 lbs by the end of the month.

    I know you could do it as well. I'll be rooting for you.

    I am at an all time high of 256. I need some motivation myself and I love to motivate others. I am actually better at motivating others than myself! I saw a picture of myself the other day and had to delete it from the computer so I really want to make this work this time. Maybe we can do it together!! I have been on MFP for a while but this is my first post to any board so I hope this works.

    Any of you can add me for support :) I am (happily!) no longer in that range. My high weight while pregnant was 287 and I started on here a year and a half later at 257.

    I'm in! I used to weigh a steady 205 and after marriage and a kid ended up at 268lbs. I'm back down to 249, but hoping to get back under 220lbs by the end of the year.

    You can do it. It takes time and motivation, but just think of where you want to be in 6 months and slowly work at it.

    It's great you're back and want to actively do something about your weight problems in order to avoid that machine!

    Just remember...what ever you do to lose the weight, must become a sustainable way of life. Otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure. Don't 'diet', change your eating and exercise habits indefinitely.

    Good luck in your journey.

    Hi, I started out at 325, and hoping to get to 190. I am not perfect, by any means, but I never give up. My diary is open, and I am constantly on here. Good luck!
