Obesity Support Group
This community is dedicated to those of us struggling with obesity. Obesity is thought to be a significant risk factor in certain health conditions, leading to increased mortality. Find the support you need by sharing your story, asking questions, and learning from others on how they have coped.
Last year out of the blue I was having symptoms of a heart attack. Went to the hospital where they gave me a wrong diagnosis of a heart murmur, heart disease, abnormal heart beat etc... Until the angiogram was done and there was only one small blockage of a vein that can be bypass with exercise. They also discovered that i have baby viens. My weight fluctuates all the time and the only time when I was between 100-120lb was when I was between 21-27 and starving.
Now that I have a little one, I need to get healthy for her.
My weight has caused me to be tired all the time,fluxuating periods ( which scare me because obesity is one factor for ovarian cancer and last year I lost two friends to it who were obsese and never knew they had it). My good friend barb thought that her weight loss was do to drinking a lot of water and daily walking, we never thought cancer could be a factor.
I am so sorry for rambling...I need support in my struggles to loose weight. My parents are constantly on my back about it, my husband does not seem to be a help (red meat and potatoes eater), my friends are too busy with their kids to have time to be consistent support. I feel alone in my struggles. Thank you for reading this post.

So glad you found us. A lot of us struggle with wt, especially as we get older.
All I can say, is try to make small changes, add a little more movement and try to keep sweets in check.
All of this is easier said than done.
Cancer strikes all sizes. I had breast Ca when I was 110. My sister, not over 100 lbs, has ovarian ca. There is a lot of ca going around, thru environment and what is in our foods now days, size does not matter.
My best to you on your journey and please post often of what works and doesn't, as knowledge is power.......
The government labs have always use difrent states/communitys as geni pigs. they track illness for 20 ty years yep like the so call flu they also play with it to improve upon it.

Oh will that's government at work. it financially benefits our Dr's hospitals labs n our community's. there is no money in cures that we already have but government will not use.
Every yr on my b-day I have work type ohysical and lab test done n mammogram done.

some people may not know that men also get breast cancer,, stones...
I use water when I make form of fried sliced potatoes. yes I half to just about stand over top the skillet to keep just enough water in pan to keep the tato from sticking.
I also use shake n bake when I make diced r sliced r wedge potatoes for church friends...
Just because someone eats a candy bar doesn't mean that we half to set in same room n watch.
