Bah...they could just be extremely introverted. If you saw me at the gym, you'd think I was rude...I'm really extremely shy in real life.

People are jerks sometimes. I'm so sorry they hurt you. I was once 75lbs heavier than I am now (I went from an XL to an X-S, but have gained a bit back), so I know how nasty people can be when you're overweight. Including your own family. (Actually, you don't sound overweight to me!)

Forty-seven lbs is VERY doable, and DON'T let them discourage you! Heck, I lost that 75-80lbs in less than 2 years, without even trying to, and not exercising. (I became pre-diabetic, and simply put myself on a low-fat, low-sugar, high-fiber, all-around healthy diet. In fact, I actually ate MORE than previosuly, never exercised, and, just by doing that, the weight dropped off.) I know you can do it!!!! Listen to your doctor; if they think you should lose weight, do so. It's the leading cause of Type 2 diabetes. Eat sensibly; go for walks every day (great low-impact exercise). I'll bet that 47lbs comes right off.

You will be tempted to cheat every so often. Don't deny yourself. Find some healthy, low-sugar, low-fat recipes, like desserts, if desserts are your downfall. (I used to eat fat-free, sugar-free chocolate pudding, with a dollop of Cool Whip every night). I ate 6 small meals per day, on time, and no skipping of the snacks. This help stabilize your blood sugar, and aids in weight-loss. Get yourself in the habit of ALWAYS having your healthy food available--at home and at work. This way, you won't need to eat bad stuff.

If you lose, then gain a little back, don't be hard on yourself. You can always do it again. I've alwasy said, loing the weight is easy; maintaining it is the hardest part. Don't go on a crash diet, either. You need to learn good eating habits as part of your weight-loss dit, then retain them for life, with perhaps some tweaking (so you stop losing weight).

Sorry you were treated that way
In fact, this is the ONLY forum I've been on, apart from FluWiki, that is TOTALLY civilized ALL of the time! I find TCS a very comforting place to visit, and feel like you're all family.

Good luck to you and loosing weight!!! We've got about the same amount to loose! My only advice is to find a walking partner. Walking is fun and I love being outside. Thor is my walking buddy!

Unfortunatly they do this alot. I guess what alot of people don't realize that on the other side of the internet, on the other side of the city, state, country or world, is a REAL person with REAL feelings!

You're right Nat.. We are lucky.
I too joined a dog forum and posted on there about Dakota and they were VERY rude there. They had nothing but bad things to say to me and they acted like I was an idiot.
I guess they didn't realize I already had a dog and I'm not totally ignorant. They were saying things like "You do realize that you have to feed, walk, and play with him every day?" I was like..... "DUH!"

Yikes! That's just sad they were so rude!

My Grandma is barely 5' tall and I remember her saying that in her young days she struggled to reach 100lb to join the Army (durring WWII). So I think that sounds like a reasonable weight too. She's a smaller bone structure too.

That's sooo messed up those individuals were rude to you.
Sadly, there are alot of insecure individuals who sit behind a computer screen and bash ppl. I used to get it all of the time on this rave message board I used to post at.

Thanks,
I had trouble in a Cat Chat when Stripe was Pts from Crf. There were no hosts in teh Chat Room and a person came in with the screen name Icatkiller and said good another less Cat. That person was coming in every day saying bad things to everyone. There were alot of other bad people coming in too. I quit using Aol Chats and switched to Msn after that.

there is nothing Nice about most gaming forums and some of the other ones i go to.
The gun forum is not bad. lol of course people there all have gun so i guess we have to be polite to each other haha.

hmm, i would suggest you maybe you should hook up with several people by yahoo, or msn messenger and that would give you someone to talk to.

I know very well how hard is to lose, most people do need a support system.

I have alot of friends on Msn Messenger that I talk to all the time. I have friends on Yahoo Messenger too. I met most of them in Msn Cat Groups. There are a few from Aol too.

Having been on WW for many years and having worked there as a receptionist - you know, the one that weighs you in?- I can assure you that there is nothing but positive feedback at the meetings or on the website.
As a receptionist, we were told, if the member has lost weight to say, "You have lost so and so many pounds. How do you feel about that?. The reason was that, although most members would be thrilled about losing weight, other members might think that they were losing too slowly. In the latter case, and when the member gained weight, we always asked how WW could help you in the next week. Positive feedback always.
You have family members with diabetes and in cancer remission. What a clueless jerk that guy is.
Go with the goal your doctor gave you. At WW, there may be goals for height and age, but a doctor's note to WW says that the real expert has set your goal.
Hope this helps and that you are feeling great about yourself because you are on the weight loss track. Good luck!

Hi Mews,

Can you use Stevia, the herb, which is now popular for a sugar-replacement? I know folks who like it; never tried it myself.

You can still make low-fat, low-sugar desserts without fake sugars. Find some good cookbooks at the library, or search online recipes.
