I don't want you guys to think that I sold out, but...
I scheduled an appointment with my doctor to discuss Gastric Bypass surgery. I know all of the risks involved, but staying at 340 pounds, or worse getting heavier, will guaranntee me an early death. Personally, I now think it's worth the roll of the dice. I know it's not going to be easy, but really I've tried to do it the…

I feel so defeated...
I've fallen off of the wagon again. I don't know what my deal is. I keep beating myself up and feeling blue because I know I can take off this weight. I can feel the thin person struggling to get out, but I keep suffocating her with food. Not many people can understand how it feels to need to lose nearly 200 pounds and…

Quick reply.... which is better?
I could walk the two miles around the base which takes about an hour or I could work out in my garage with my in-home gym for an hour. Which do you think would burn more? I have a adult trampoline, mini eliptical, resistance bike, weight sets, and a punching bag.

I just broke up with my boyfriend - food.
Well, I’m in a bit of a funk today, but I need help so I’m going to be the most real that I’ve ever been. I’m able to maintain this sunny demeanor most days, but I’m so tired today. I keep having this doctor’s voice replaying in my mind. (Let me give you some back ground information.) I’ve been having this horrible…

Am I emotionally ready to begin a diet?
There are a lot of things going on right now and I feel like I won't be able to make a real commitment to eating right until Sunday. Sunday my husband can be home with me to monitor that I am not cheating secretly, like I have been in the past. I'm very hopeful, but this is so tough. Doctor's don't realize how much effort…

Grrr! I feel like I lose my mind during that time of the mon
That might be too much information for some, but I hate that I completely fell off of the wagon. Hell, I ate the wagon! I don't want to wait to get back on until it's over, but I feel so unmotivated and all I want is sweets and carbs. Does anyone else feel like this during that time or is it just some kind of craziness…

My doc tested me for Cushings syndrome...
Does anyone know what that means? I tried looking it up but could only find that it means you have too much cortisol. I admit to feeling stressed, but I doubt that that has anything to do with why I can't control my eating. What are your thoughts? Oh, and the results take like 2 weeks to get. Can you believe that? :noway:

I have just about 200 pounds to lose.
I weigh myself every morning to see if the is any progress and I'm disappointed with the results. I started last weekend at 333. This morning I was 327.2 and I was so bummed. I don't know if I watch too much Biggest Loser or what. I just thought that since I had so much weight to lose then it would come off a lot more…

Weekend binge
Does anyone else feel like they just ruined the hard work they put in over the 5 day week on the weekend? I stayed within my calorie allowance, but I did not feel like exercising at all. Now, I feel just as heavy as I did last monday when I tried to kick this thing off in the first place. I'm sure that I only gained like 2…

where the donuts are.....
So, I had to get a job at walmart and yesterday a customer asked me why the water machine wasn't working and I referred him to a manager because I had no idea. Then he proceeded to say, "Well, why am I asking you about water.... can you tell me where donuts are?" Co-workers heard and tried to offer their condolences, but I…

Ohhhh man. :O(
I'm feeling pretty disappointed in myself. I've been having a lot of stress and pressures and I have totally neglected myself and my diet. I've been using food as a crutch and I'm not sure of how to stop. I mean, I take a look at my page and I don't even know who that person is anymore. I don't know where she is and I want…

Getting back on the wagon...
Hi. It seems that I have "fallen off the wagon". I had an injury, well technically two injuries, that left me unable to exercise. But honestly I'm not 100% sure that I would have exercised had I NOT been injured. Regardless, I let my journey to health pause momentarily, but I am ready to attempt this adventure continue. My…

I just signed up :happy:
I just filled in all my information and I have to admit that I am a little overwhelmed. My profile said that I have 158 pounds to go! What? That isn't even my "healthy weight range" either. I feel like I'm finally willing to tackle this life long batte head on. But I am going to need y'all's help and advice and sometimes…
