    IN THE MORNINGS I WOULD TAKE MULTIPLE FRUIT CHUNKS ,ICE, CRYSTAL LIGHT, POWDERED MILK AND PUT IN THE BLENDER AND THAT WAS MY BREAKFAST. 2 HOURS LATER I WOULD EAT A PIECE OF FRUIT. LUNCH WAS A TURKEY SANDWICH, BOTTLE OF WATER SOMETIME WITH CRYSTAL LIGHT OR A SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES, TOMATOES, CELERY, ONIONS CUCUMBERS A LIL SHARP CHEEDAR CHEESE AND SOME CRUTONS WITH A SMALL PIECE OF FISH OR CHICKEN AND I WOULD REPEAT THE SAME FOR DINNER WITH THE SALAD. I WALKED EVERYDAY WITH MY DOG AND EXERCISED ON THE TREADMILL, STEPPER, AND BIKE CUT GRASS AT THE HOTTEST TIME OF THE DAY NONSTOP TIL I FINISHED AND THATS HOW I DID IT. BUT RT NOW I JUST CANT GET MOTIVATED TO DO IT AGAIN. I STARTED AT 220 AND MADE IT TO 176 THAT YEAR. SO GOOD LUCK. MAYBE YOU CAN MOTIVATE ME TO GET BACK ON TRACK!

    I feel the fact that you recognize you need to do something about it is a great thing and you should pat yourself on the back for that. Staying motivated is very hard for me too. I do well one day and do horrible the next. I am trying to set mini goals for myself. My goal for today and the rest of the week is to post everything I eat regardless of how bad it is. We can do it, one day at time!:smile:

    G'day Chyna,

    I am in basically the same position as you. 2 Years ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and High Cholesterol (both were at levels so dangerous I should have been in a coma) I started out at 185 kgs (yep 407lbs). I changed my life completely and after around 12 months I had gotten down to 128kg (282lbs) My sugar levels and Cholesterol were all back to normal as well..I was feeling awesome. I was exercising daily and feeling fantastic when I was struck down with severe chest pains. over the last 8 months I have had 2 stints in hospital (one in the ICU). I have been cleared of heart problems but I still experience pain in my chest when I exercise, so basically I have been able to do very, very little. I am an emotional eater and when I could not exercise without pain I rapidly became really depressed and fell back into some (not all) of my old eating habits, adding to that is that I seem to be one of those people where Diet alone is not enough for me to lose weight, I need to exercise. I am now at 147kgs (324 pounds) *sigh.....I am determined not to put back on 20kgs though and luckily a friend of mine was giving her Iphone away and I found this App.

    I Turn 40 in around 27 weeks and I determined to get my weight down as low as possible in that time, but by doing it the healthy way. I look forward to following your progression and gaining some inspiration along the way :)

    Cheers

    Hey guys, don't lose hope...just take it day by day and small steps..each day you add on...its not a change that can be made in a week or month...eat small amounts throughout the day so your levels stay consistent. If you need anything just let me know and I will do what I can...I am a fitness professional and I love helping ppl...
