Feeling down...starting to diet
Im 36 years old and Im about 180 to 200 pounds overweight. I feel like
a real sack of **** being this overweight. It makes me depressed. I cant even climb stairs without being out of breath, my lower back is killing me, and when I do try to exercise every muscle hurts. Im just venting...I lost the weight when I was 18 and now it seems so hard. Sorry to bother you guys.. Joe |

No need, to belong to this group - we'll help you do it sensibly anyway. But you might find the formal structure helpful. And this is the right group to 'bother' with your concern - we're all here for the same reason you are!

WW will help you lose weight slowly but surely, and teach you better eating habits. Keep posting and good luck Ray -- 2002 1.8i eternal red |

Joe Hi Joe, Firstly - get yourself to a doctor, get a check-up and the medical go-ahead to join Weigh****chers - or any other slimming group for that matter. If you can - join WW, go to meetings and *stay* to meetings. You'll get a load of support from people who are in the same or similar position as you and it really does help the motivation to know you aren't the only one. As for exercise, you may need to lose a bit of weight to help you start exercising. Then start *gentle* exercise - find one that suits you. Walking is cheap and you don't need specialist equipment. My exercise of choice is cycling - and the key is to find one *you* like. If you like it, you'll stick with it and do more of it as time passes. You have to view weight loss *not* as a diet, but as a change of lifestyle - a permanent one. The only person who can do this is *you*. It won't be easy, but with support it is possible. I'm having to retrain my brain & body on portion control & choice of food. It's very muich a long-term thing. Cheers, helen s |
