Obesity Support Group

Good Luck!! That is what I do, just take one day at a time. I don't starve myself, I just try to make lifestyle changes. Somedays I am more successful than others.
I too have bad knees. Both of my knees have been replaced. As a matter of fact, I use a wheelchair now becaue of my arthritis and fibro. I just recently ordered some excercise videos for people in wheelchairs and for people who cannot stand too long. It is called "Chair Dancing". I also order one called "Sit and Fit". So far, I am very pleased with both of these.

Just try for a lb a week,. My gastrologist said anymore will harm your liver. I do pretty good then I gain it back. I feel the best when I drink alot of water and I try walking 1000 to 2000 steps a day., I have bad arthritis in my knee and hip plus fibro but I know if I dont move it will just get worse.
Good Luck. I keep reminding myself to drink more water and eat veggies. Then we go somewhere and I blow it, start again!!! lol

I think that is the best way to do things just by taking it one day at a time. I have my good days and bad days but one thing I really try hard to do is exercise everyday. Not easy as I can always come up with 100 reasons and more of why I don't want to get up and move lol but I know I need to keep trying and that is best any of us can do:)

good luck,
it doesnt do any good to starve yourself as it slows the metabolism right down.
sorry u have a bad knee , hope it gets better
hugs

Thanks to all you who answered you are so sweet to care

I have learned a lot of powerful medical and scientific truths about my obesity the hard way. If I can save you any suffering along your path, I'd be happy to do so. In fact, if you want a daily check-in buddy, I am available after my daughter goes to sleep (9pm Pacific Time).

You can do it. You need and deserve support. I had surgery on my right knee in 1986, I was told I only had 3 months to live in 1998, survived a lung disease caused by pollution against all odds, survived pneumonia (2000), pulmonary edema (2002) and a near stroke caused by medications given during my c-section (2005). I am morbidly obese and winning my battle against obesity and ignorance today. So can you.
