Obesity Support Group

welcome to the group! I have been a member of ds for awhile, but I havent found anyone who is willing to be a weightloss buddy. If you want, we could meet online everynight and talk about what we ate that day and if we exercised. I have gained back most of my weight and I need to loose it for health reasons. I have no energy, and I want to get that energy back.

hey im new too! i weigh about the same as you! I have started weight watchers and an exercise class. It was hard to get motivated to just do it, but i guess one day i decided it was going to happen. If you are looking for support I can definetly offer that since I am going through the same thing! Good luck!

jaxswife4 i think that is an amazing idea!

thanks manda, why dont you join in as well? it will be easier if there are more people to check in with.

Welcome Melinda...Do you guys mind if i join in too?....what a great idea Jaxswife!!!...hopefully we will have better self control and commitment to exercise and eating well if we check in each evening...Do you have a plan about how you are going to check in with each other and at what time?...Best of luck girls....Ps: DS have a weight loss buddies group if you are interested as well...can never have too much support and encouragement (lol)

Maybe this is the wrong forum. I do find we talk a lot more about losing weight on the weight loss board than on the Obesity board. To me more people talk about the struggles with obesity on this board.

I am doing the same diet as the Worlds Heaviest Man. He didn't go though surgery. He is losing it the natural way. It is The Zone Diet based on controlling your hunger hormones and inflammation that causes obesity and makes it hard to lose weight. I am not hungry on this diet. I eat 3 meals and two snacks a day. Each meal has healthy protein, carbs and fat. It is designed to keep your hormones in check. Not to high or two low. In The Zone. I also take high dose fish oil supplements.

thebuckstops,
sure you can join. I think that if we have someone to chat with about loosing the weight then it well, help. no rules, just find a friend online, maybe at night, and just chat about what we did that day, good or bad.

cinnamint,
I relize this is the obesity forum. I am obese, and my problem is that because I am obese it is hard to find a diet and stick to it. Finding people on this forum intrested in loosing weight will help because they know how hard it is to loose weight. Plus, I think that the people in this forum can talk about whatever they want as long as they arent rude or mean.

hi, i am a newbie too, i know the things to eath that are healthy, but for some reason i wait until i am too hungry and then i don't want to take the time to prepare a healthy meal. but i do walk 2 miles five days a week, any suggestions?

I am new too! I hope we can all work together and get this weight off us for good!!!
