struggling with weight

I go to the gym. I only have a pop 2 times a week. I eat 2 or 3 times a day. No snacks. I just cant loose the weight.i like my vegies. No butter. I eat my salad  with vinigar base dressing. My sons see me trying. I dont think my husband realizes how hard  i try. Its so hard!sometimes I feel like I am going to loose my mind trying!

Check out \"Body for Life\" . . it works!! Takes a lot of discipline, but it changed my life, life-style and so many other wonderful things! :) Hang in there and keep it moving! Be gentle (not so hard on self). Hugs, D

Have you asked your Dr. if the medications you are on make you gain weight? I have to take a steroid for my colitis and I put on weight. Just eat clean foods, nothing processed and know that you are doing good things for your body.

Yes medication can increase weight gain and make it almost impossible to lose. I agree check with your doctor it might not be anything that you are doing

Patience is also required. It took me 2 years to get to where I felt good again. I remembered that it took a long time to get the way I was, so it was going to take time to peel that back. Being consistent is key - what you do every day makes the biggest long-term difference. Reward yourself once in a while so you don\'t lose hope. Life is to be enjoyed and there are healthy ways to do that. It\'s who you are on the inside that matters the most. This body is mortal, but your spirit is immortal. I found that as I worked on my emotions and my spirit, my body had no choice but to follow suit. I\'m still not perfect - never will be - but I am kinder to myself than ever before. That\'s a good feeling. Never give up! (((hug)))

Yeah definitely check on the meds. Some meds can completely sabotage you no matter how hard you try. The meds might not be worth it.

I cut out one med. I dont see doc till next week. I know it\'s my meds cause i eat like a bird. I have to also realize I am getting older an its harder to take off the weight. Thanks everyone for the kind words.
