| Weight Loss | 100+ lbs to Go Losing2gether Sucessfully Club | Aug 02 2008 05:17 (UTC) |

Hello, I'm also trying to loose a few pounds. My weight is, well right now it's 306 I've lost 10 lbs. I'm trying to get to 165, that's my goal. I have lots of health issues. I have Fibromyalgia, Arthritis in my neck accompanied with neck spurs, 2 very bad knees, Herniated disc, arthritis in my feet, a messed up ankle and the list goes on. I told you that to say, it's so hard to get up the motivation to work out, I can't even walk for more then 2 mins. and at times that seems to kill me. I'm loosing weight and I enjoy how I'm doing it but the working out is just hard for me. I belong to a Gym, in which I was going to very well and I was doing water aerobics, and working out in the gym with a trainer, somehow I stopped going, partly because of the pain, and I'm having the dickens of a time getting up the gump to go back. I go to a Nutritionist and he's such a big help. Sometimes I get so frustrated that I feel like saying "I'm fat just deal with it" but then I get myself together. But I've learned and learning that God is my best friend and He has been my help when on one else understands me. But it's nice to have this forum also. Good luck everybody and I pray that each one of us reaches our goal |

Hi Tru2myman here, I totally agree with all of you, I know me and it's been so hard to change my eating habits. I've always been an emotional eater. I have a background in depression, there were times I thought I was the queen of all depressed people, and I had suicidal thoughts, (not anymore) just all sorts of things. I've been trying to diet all of my life, I'm 45 years old now I think I've done all I can do at least that's what I thought. I've been seeing a Nutritionist, and he has been helping so much, I mean I feel for the first time in my life that I can do this. I'm finally getting that it's not a diet but a life change, don't focus on your weight, focus on being healthy. I have a food diary that I keep, it took me forever to do this because I just didn't want to but I tried and loved it. I write down everything I eat whether good or bad I write it down and include how I'm feeling at the time. He has put me on a 1800 calorie intake, he told me to try to eat 425 calories for each meal, and 225 calories for snacks and I've been doing just that although now what I do is as long as I stay within my calorie intake for the day I just eat. I'm learning that you can basically eat what you want and as you go you learn what's ok and what isn't (which comes to you very quickly) you seem to stay focused on what your doing, if you realize that you have control. And when you fall don't beat yourself up over it, tell yourself, I've fallen but I refuse to stay down pick yourself up and keep right on going. I used to beat myself up over and over again. I'd say " what's the use I've messed up I'd might as well give up, this is who I am" NOT you can do it, WE can do it. Just remember like lionsroar said, "DON'T PANIC, THERE'S NO RUSH" Don't beat up on yourself Please that doesn't help. You are a strong person, you have to be to even have written to ask the question you did. Some people would have thought it was embarrassing to put they're weight out there. You can do this. Be uplifted Good Luck, and I'll be praying for you |

How often should you eat during the day?
It is neither necessary to eat every two hours nor to stop eating at 6:00 PM. As long as your calorie intake is less than your output... Read more
