Weight loss....

bambam

I know that most of us have said that we have lost weight over these problems we have dealing with divorce / separation.

I am just wondering about how MUCH everyone has lost (weight wise). I seem to be taking a lot of slack from people around me - saying that I am going to become severily unhealthy if I keep this up, but my doctor (who I see regularly) hasn't said anything negative.

I will start, I have dropped from a woman's size 15 to a size 5.

Anyone else done this drastic a drop?

Since January I have went from 210 - 153 and counting. The doctor yelled at me the last time and said that I needed to put some weight on. I guess at 6'2" I am a little under weight!

12 pounds in 3 weeks, feels great. Exercize and clothes feel good again.

My wife has lost about 20 lbs and she didn't need to.

I have lost about 10 lbs since she broke the news to me.

Oh well guess that's the one positive - though I need some new belts now and some of my shirts collars look a bit large.

20 pounds but the weight is slowly coming back. I really need it right now. I did not have much to lose to beging with.

I am down about 5 pounds this week, maybe more. I had been doing the South Beach Diet with my wife when she decided to drop this bomb on me. I had only lost about 5 pounds in 3 weeks of South Beach. I am 5'10" and down to about 170 now.

25 pounds from a size 4 to 0. Couldn't eat at all when this started. Nauseated all the time. I've leveled off now though.

305 when we split a year ago and I am at 240 now.

The "Divorce Diet" should be FDA approved at this point in time (so many people have been on the diet). I wonder what the infommercials would be like at 2 a.m.?

I lost about 30 but it's starting to level off now. I need to lose another 30 to 40 though so I think I'm going to start excerising and stop eating like shit. Lord knows I can't handle any more rejection whenever I decide to get back into the game.

10 pounds in 2 weeks. A few more by now I think. I've been joking about the Divorce Diet: nausea, stomach chewing on itself, food tastes like cardboard.

I've never not been able to eat. Usually it's the opposite in stressful situations.

I made the decision to eat very healthy food and take care of myself. I choke it down if I have to.
