I have arthritis in my back that has been treated with injections. I've even had the nerve endings in the L3-L5 region in my back burned and had a cortisol shot in my s1 region. The swelling is gone, but not the pain. My knees have been left untreated. The pain gets unbearable at times, but my doctor only says lose weight. I've told her several times that I'm usually an active person, but pain makes me not want to be active. I need relief. Any suggestions. I've already considered… read more

I don’t weigh daily because my weight fluctuates. I go by how my clothes fit. Right now my pants are just a tad looser but my blouses are really loose. I recommend going by how your clothes fit
Hi...I'm wondering how frequently I should be weighing myself...and does it matter if it's morning or night?...

Thank you so much for the info! I’m somewhat familiar with Dr. Berry as he’s from Tennessee and that’s where I live. I will definitely watch the vids and see if it’s something I can do.
Hi . You should ask your dr to change medications because of the weight gain. Having excess weight caused by meds would give me anxiety. Can you take your meds at a different time, like at bedtime… read more
Ive researched the surgery quite extensively and the diet is extremely minimal. Which i understand. However i love food. The textures. The smell. And of course the taste. Im scared that i would not be able to stick with such a minimal diet for a year. Pluss once the weight is lost how does one not regain the weight once a regular diet is reintroduced? I dont know anyone personaly whoes had this done. Im afraid its the only option i have left.
I had the gastric sleeve and I loved that the weight loss was not rapid . I failed and my overall total weight loss achievement because I lacked discipline. I followed everything to the letter (I… read more
Hi there
I have not been on this site for a while, but have missed it. My mom was sick, and passed away in January of this year. I am not good AT ALL at loving myself. I love others, and want nothing but good for them, but I tend to sabotage myself. I would like to keep in touch with others who might be feeling the same way. I am 53, weigh 240, and I’m only 5’3” tall. I feel like I’m older than I really am. I am premenopausal, and that’s not helping me any. I want to be positive for… read more

Welcome back
Sorry for your loss
Everyone would stick to their Lifestyle Change routine but at anytime, anyone that is doing the challenge with us can pop a question to keep us on our toes.
Examples could be:
Did you walk today? If so how much?
How many ounces of water have you drunk?
How many steps have you taken so far?
What is your pain scale today?
How are you emotionally feeling today?
(The last 2 questions relate a lot to our eating)
If we’re on point, then we’ll get messaged good job! Keep up the good work!
If… read more

Fat-shaming is very damaging and its perpetrators tend to be sadistic. What we need to know is who does it and why they do it. In motives we can discern actions, your story can help put an end to it. Be brave.
Elice, the sad truth is, most people who are super-obese literally expect that kind of thing, and are on guard against it constantly, which of course makes it worse. Thanks for sharing. Marion, good… read more
