Hello Everyone,
I am 47 years old and overweight. I have tried many times to lose weight and haven't succeeded so far. I found out about this website through a magazine I was reading on my lunch break and thought I would give it a try. I am the only one in my household that is beginning a lifestyle change. I need to change my eating habits and make exercise a part of my life because both my mother and my maternal grandmother as well as my mom's sisters all have diabetes. My grandfather (paternal) also was diabetic. I am at high risk for becoming diabetic if I don't change my current eating habits. I have come to accept that I am an emotional eater as well. I need the support of this group to help me through.

    I too eat for emotional reasons... but I'm trying to change that...

    I am taking Hydroxycut right now, and its helping some, but I am actually trying to get my doc to put me on Apidex, its supposed to be a miricle drug to help you lose weight, while making you feel good about yourself in the process, causes euphoria, which is defined as a profound sense of well being. that may help with the emotional side of things.. Need an Rx for that one though, so talk to your doc about it
