    In the US, the American Cancer Society offers supports to people who have your condition. Perhaps this Canadian organization does the same. Is this your correct region? If not, this same site has info for other Canadian regions.

    Canadian Cancer Society - Newfoundland and Labrador

Now it dont help that someone keeps moving my scale around the bathroom (I'm living with my grandparents and they dont like anything out of place they seem to think it a out of place where i puts it but it's the only level place i can find in the bathroom.)

    explain that you need the scale left in the same place all the time

    That may mean putting it somewhere else in the house like in a garage or something

    for a normal person that would mean maintenance calories. but since you have all these health issues. it could be due to them why your weight loss is super slow. I have a genetic defect that causes me to have a metabolic disorder and weight loss is super slow for me too. but your condition can also cause whats called etopic cushings syndrome which means an increase in cortisol production. so that could make it hard to lose weight in itself. so I can understand the struggle. just keep doing what you are doing and dont worry about the weight loss so much as getting the help for your health issue(which I know you are trying to do) .I know you need to lose weight and you are trying. it just may be a lot slower than it is compared to others who dont have your health issues. try not to stress as that also raises cortisol.

    I don't know you, but I'm so proud of you! You've taken the first steps already.. WAY TO GO! If I were you, I would start with food/calorie tracking. And, just like someone else said, start taking trips around the living room if you have to. I'm personally on a mission to lose about 80 lbs. I am scared shitless because I don't want to fail.... but, it's day two. I "cheated" once on my diet and tomorrow is a new day! Good luck to you and I hope you come back to give an update as to how your weight loss journey is going. I'll be cheering for you from the sidelines!

    Little update the government cant or won't help we eaither and i have not heard back from any one else. Called my local mha office a total of 100 times in the last days and only talked to some one 3 times to be told they working on it.

    In that case it is time to speak to others who might take up your cause - outside medical profession

    local government
    your elected representatives
    churches
    TV stations
    radio
    newspapers
    sports franchises
    local celebs
    Chambers of Commerce
    Freemasons
    The round Table
    various other lodges

    in the developed world you simply cannot be left in this position, it is frankly ludicrous

    I won't be on for the next i dont no how long i will not have access to the internet i will stay on track the best i can with the food that is provided while I'm gone.

    If you think it'll be any help, if you have a mobile device, you can still access any recent foods you've logged. I know you say the food is provided, but just a thought.

    Dog walking is a great way to get exercise and lose the weight, you and your dog can do this together and I am sure the extra walking will do your dog good too :smiley:

    Do you have access to a pool? If so that would be a great way to get some exercise without hurting yourself. Water will take a lot of heat off your back, knees, and wherever else you may hurt. The deeper you submerge yourself the less weight on your joints; submerged to your chest you’ve taken 90% of the weight off. Start with whatever you can tolerate (walk 3 minutes, break, another 3 minutes, break, another 3 minutes) and build slowly.

    Probably the most important is going to be to cut your calories, though. Aim for 2 pounds a week. (52 weeks in a year x 2 pounds a week = 104 pounds).
