Hi ya

hi my name is bobby and im 4'11" and way approxiamatly 325lbs. Due to my stature and build i look over obese. Im trying to loose some weight so i can be back at my highschool days. IM 32 years old. im sick of finding crap wedged in my rolls, i work at a nursery (plants) and with dry conditions and my sweating problem i feel like a piece of sandpaper. Help

Bobby,  My name is Alicia.  I know how you feel.  I am 34, 5'8" and before my gastric bypass I weighed 400 lbs.  I had issues with sweating as well.  Until you lose the weight maybe try what I did.  Use Dial antibacterial soap for bathing, shower at least once a day and on really bad days  morning and night.  Use a liquid fabric softner with a Downy Ball in your laundry as well as dryer sheets.  I used( and still do) Arrid XX dry deoderant.  I got the best protection from the arisol spray.   As far as the weight loss part, try small portions, low carbs high protein (even using protein powder in your foods ie.  yogurt, coffee, oatmeal etc.)  I am struggling myself right now.  I'm 3 1/2 years out from my gastric bypass and I've started gaining weight again and I'm kinda freaking out!  You CAN do this, we both can!

Seeing as your screen name makes me NOT want to respond I guess I'll simply say most of us started our journey through our primary care doctors.  I'm assuming you have one of those who will be willing to help.

Hey everyone I think we have a troll, from looking at the name.
