Hi all I am new to the group thing and hoping maybe this can give me some extra help! I think I am a stress/depression eater and even though at my top weight I was 514lbs back in 2001, and I have always been overweight. In 2002 I decided to have a gastric bypass to lose the weight and I did drop down as low as 345 lb; basically because I couldnt and didnt follow all the rules. Now I am 374lb and scared to death to head back down that long road; I want to get healthy and be able to do much more I am not getting any younger now 48 in aweek. I have even talked to my doc about a revision but my insurance wouldnt cover it; so I really need help to figure out how to move forward and get my butt moving. I do have physical limititions such as blown disks in back, no feeling in left leg or foot (numbness) and limpedema (SP) . I also have now been watching more of what I eat and when I eat and I have been counting my calories on My Fitness Pal app! But I thought maybe if I had a support group it would help me alittle more when I get the urge to grab that snickers bar or bag of chips (which I haven't been buying or bring into my house) but sometimes with grandkids I do buy treats for them! Any advice or suggestions would be appreicated! Thanks

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...

A full cartload to unload and put away. I got everything put away.Dumped purse for a...
I started out around 380 on Jan 2nd and am now down about 50lbs. So even tho its frustrating to see 1-2lb loses every week, those pounds lost do add up before you know it. Id also love to be your weight loss buddy since we share some of the same physical limitations... I cant stand for very long due to a bad back and have fibromyalgia.
So if you want, give my profile a good read and see if you think we would be good weightloss buddies. Also, on my profile, under all of the groups I belong to, you can click on The Daily Diet Journal and it will bring you right to the group. You can have a look around on there and join up if you think its right for you. No pressure on any of this.
Glad to have you aboard the obesity group. Come here often and post often, it really does help. Plus there are a lot of supportive ppl on this site. Hope to hear more from you!
