    I love the subject line (yes, I did clap my hands). We will always be fatties at heart. That's how we can relate, because we've been there.

    I started at 332, got down to 236, then had a six month “vacation” from eating healthy at the beginning of the holidays and fatted up to 265. On June 1st, I started back on my healthy lifestyle and joined a gym. I lost 7 pounds since then, another 63 to go. I know that is too big a loss in a week, but I figure it was mostly (how do I put this delicately?) processed junk food backed up in my intestines. I never joined a gym before. I start with my personal trainer as soon I get a medical clearance from my doctor (one of life’s little problems when you are old as well as fat). Unfortunately, I can’t have my stress test for several weeks (going on a cruise to northern Europe, darn) so I’ll just do treadmill and elliptical machines ‘till then.

    If you would like to add me, a warning first, I’m doing Primal, but I am not some rabid cult follower. I was on it for several months just to get my daughter off my back, and got my blood sugar (type 2 diabetic) HDL, HDL/LDL ratio and triglycerides to approved levels for the first time in decades. It just works for me.

    Good luck.

    Me too. My problem has been not eating 3 meals a day for years and eating junk food after I went to bed at night while reading. Food to me has always been the enemy so I never wanted to sit down and eat. So my body has shut down and since I started eating 1200 calories daily for the past 2 weeks I have gained weight and not lost, which put me in the mind set of not eating again. But I am going to stick with it and continue with my morning 2 mile walks and in the long run it will pay off. Also right when I started dieting my orthopaedist put me on neurtonton medication to calm the nerves in my replacement knee from where I fell over a year ago and my daughter tells me that causes weight gain. I have been heavy most of my life but I always blamed it on genetics not what went into my mouth. Families on both sides were all heavyweights as far back as great grandparents. But I would love to support anyone and would welcome words of encouragement from people using this program.
