You CAN do this!!!  Just keep thinking of all those empty calories that are in Coke. No protein, no calcium, nothing GOOD!  Getting rid of those calories alone will probably help you start getting rid of that weight. Please honey, you can do this. I kicked my dark chocolate habit, you can do this too.

I/We are here for you.

Hello, Iam in the same place you are it sounds like.  I keep getting told it won't be much longer. But it fills like forever.  They just keep telling me to be patient.  I haven't had my consult yet. but everything is done. I am useing Dr. Fuller and he is getting qualifed for medicare patients. Which I do not know what they are talking about. Well good luck. stay in touch. Thanks for answering I don't feel so alone now.

TEAM OHAR is in 3rd place with only 190.00 raised for the walk....

come on walkers.....where are you?????

we need to support this cause and we need to support each other!!!!

the walk is just weeks away......we need people to register and people to walk......obesity takes lives just like breast cancer and heart disease.......or diabetes which is what I usually walk for.

We have all been touched by obesity,,,,,,,NOT ONE OF US IS CURED!!!!!!!!!!!  We need further research and education.......we need you support.

If you can not walk then maybe you can just donate......5 bucks.....or 10.....maybe 2 dollars!!!! Every little bit helps.

What if the only way weight loss surgery was available was based on donations.....would you donate then??

i understand the economy.....I am unemployed.......I have to drive 2 hours alone and with panic attacks to walk the walk......

please...donate and or register for the walk. There are so many of you I wish to meet and this is just one day out of your year, it is my understanding that it counts as a support group for some. You are the lucky ones.....I don't have a support group to attend.

I have sent emails to my family and friends and have raised 105 bucks......I can not do alot from so far away.......but I am doing a small portion....my portion.....my responsibility to the cause.

take care

I have just found out I have a Vit D Def.but I'm still pre-op so that will give me some time to get it caught up 50,000 IU 1 a week for 3 months then goes to a lower dose after I get it checked again..I have took 1 50,000 IU and can tell a difference already...

its horribly hard........

alot is going on with no job, one kid left at home, one kid struggling to prove she is an adult I worry if she has food to eat, she fights her weight as well. My family (mom and sisters ) do not speak now and they decided to include my kids in this mess.

I weighed in today at 172........March of 03 I was 133. This time last year I was 150. It goes up it goes down....my body is like a roller coaster at 6 flags....just not as fun.

Its really hard to live in a house with 2 underweight people. Sebastian is 16 and weighs 120 and is in 11th grade....he eats like a horse...but gains nothing. Rene (my domesticated house husband) is 28 and might weigh 140....he too eats but gains nothing.......

Everyone says dont buy the "bad" food.....well.....the dr once told me to provide Sebastian with whatever he wants as his growth was delayed due to Ritalin......I have an eating disorder...I know this....and to not eat the stuff is not as easy as it may seem......now if I was a newbie that would be different......I could not tolerate much of anything......

the farther you get out the more things change. Going to a dr takes money....and insurance, both of which I either do not have or have very little of.....so I am doind this alone.

I am trying to encourage Cecily (my daugh) to come walk with me when she gets off work. I have not really left the house since I lost  my job......my trip to hot springs and the store and plastic surgeon for follow up is all I have done. I have been in the pool a few times but thats no fun alone.

Its 320.....no coke..........tomorrow will be a better day........

thx for the support
love you more than you can ever imagine
