The only encouragement I can offer is that you've done an amazing job so far
managing your weight over the long term despite numerous obstacles. A
qualified nutritionist sounds like the way to go considering that you need
to get the most nutritional bang for your buck as your exercise is limited.

Thanks.. I've also been talking to my gyno to see if the birth control
pills that were given to me a few months back weren't also an issue.



It helps me eat less to eat more frequently. On a given day I will eat 5-6
times in a day (every 2-3 hours) with a lot of those meals being only
100-200 calories and a reasonable balance of carbs/fat/protein. There are
people who don't care for eating that often and that's fine.


What is a good balance for c-f-p? I'm a bit lost on this, so I guess the
doc will help me on it.


A few people I work with are on the South Beach Diet and some of them lose
weight with very little exercise. I've lost weight on SBD, but I exercise a
lot.

Best of luck with whatever you end up doing.

Thanks!!

Welcome, Cathe! Since I'm just catching up after a weekend away, for
now I'll just second what others have said. This is a great group.
I've found so much help here and you will too.

I'm sure I'll have more to say in the future :-)

I know twenty pounds doesn't sound like a lot to most
people, but on
someone my frame, it's enormous. Any advice, help, and
encouragement
anyone can offer, I'm all for. I'll do the same.
Thanks

Welcome, Cathe. It doesn't matter how much or how
little you need to lose--some of us here are "just"
maintaining (which can take a *lot* of work).

You'll get a lot of information--some of it
conflicting--so take what you can use and leave the
rest.

Have fun!
