I just thought I would check in with you all and make myself at home here. I am about 70pounds heavior than normal and feeling like I may blow up at any time! I need some sensible advice on how to even get started to lose weight. I also have Bipolar and may get confused if the advice is to complicated or dirctions too long, but I am willing to give anything a try. Thanks. Love and Prayers Ramona oxxoxoxooxxo

It's hard to deal with weight issues when you are already dealing with mental issues. The only answer to weight is less going in than you are burning, but if things were so easy no one would be fat. I too am 70+ above normal. I weigh 230 and should be at the most 150. My health has taken a back burner to my mental issues because I have an I dont give a shit attitude most of the time. The only way to really get started is to be stable mentally, and that for me is the impossible part....And not so much booze

The way I started was to simply eat a little less of my usual foods. After a while, I'd eat less of that and maybe not the 'junk food'. It got to be a habit and I've lost over 30 pounds. I still eat what I want, only now it's a taste of the fatty foods and a lot of the veggies and fruits.

Thanks for all the advice and support. It is really appreciated. I am not stable mentally this last year or so and I do believe that makes it worse to really care even though I feel blaaaaa!!! I really should consider getting a new healthy habit, thanks Lynda. xoxoxooxxoxo
