Hi FC Family. I'm back (hopefully for good this time). I need help please someone help me.
You know you finally get to the point where enough is enough. I believe that I am finally there. I am so tired of making excuses for being overweight. I'm just plain ol' sick and tired of being sick and tired. My clothes fit horriblly. I feel horrible. To me I look horrible. I'm depressed and tired all of the time. I have just had enough. I want to lose the weight. I need to lose the weight. My life depends on it.
I need help. I really need for someone to help me with the journey. I can't do it alone. I've tired. I can't depend on my love ones, they keep telling me "you are fine, just the way you are." I'm not fine. I'm morbidly obese, I'm unhealthy, I'm unhappy and if I don't get this weight off I'm going to be dead.
Please someone help me.

We are all here to help
hunniegurl, we are all in the same boat. I am also morbidly obese, diabetic, congestive heart failure and Parkinson's disease. I have hit rock bottom as well. My family is no help as well. So I am going it alone, BUT, with your help as well as others, we can both make it.
I have already started by exercising every day. No matter how small it is, it is a step in the right direction. Today I went to the pool and did every thing I could think of that might be an exercise. I swam, kicked my legs, walked, etc. Now I am exhausted.
I start every dinner with a large salad. I throw in garbanzo beans, marinated artichokes, tomatoes, radishes, peppers. Whatever is in the fridge.
Since Thursday I have lost 11 pounds. That is not going to be a normal loss. I understand that. But it is a start.
Now, here is what I will do. I will double dare you to keep up with me. I would like you to post every day and tell us what you are eating and how you are exercising. Walking the dog is an exercise.
So you asked for help and I am offering you my hand. (Not in marriage, I am already married but as a diet partner.
Whadyasay. Are you going to accept my dare?
Glademan

i ACCEPT YOUR DARE.
Today all I've had to eat is a cup of cream of chicken soup. I have drank approximately 70 oz of water and had two cups of coffee. I'm not feeling very well today. I'm going to the doctor in a couple of hours.
Thank you for responding to my post.

Have you considered bariatric surgery? That's what did it for me.
The reason is that our bodies have set points, so all the dieting is futile if you're going to gain it back. What helps to lose weight is to go on a VLC diet (very low calorie) and have ongoing blood tests for nutrition by your doctor. I lost 20 pounds in one month by having 2 protein drinks a day (Pro-Complex Whey protein powder, dissolved in water) and one low carb, high protein meal; however, on this you must have at least 64 ounces of water during the day. Add to this, WALKING about an hour or more a day, at least 5 days a week. I use MUSIC to help me, and I have a walker because I have osteoarthritis. You CAN DO IT. Don't give up and don't get depressed. Get MOVING.
