DUH!!)JUST DON'T DO IT!!! Consequently. I have been feeling alot of residual aches and pains after exercising, and the following morning, especially in my legs and back and neck areas. And a time or two I had to skip workout sessions from the pain and cancel a session with my Personal Trainer--BOTH OF WHICH I HATED TO HAVE TO DO!!! So take the time! do it right! Now excuse me---I am going to go back to my heat pad!!:refuse::nuts: ]]> Weight Loss Blogs chirick http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/weight-loss-blogs/warm-up-and-stretch-please-19665.html WHOLE EGGS? http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/diet-forum/whole-eggs-19664.html Tue, 15 May 2012 21:09:07 GMT I've always thought you are not supposed to eat the yolks for heart health..did they find this to be untrue?

Every once in a while I get a nearly overwhelming temptation to do so wholly stupid to myself. Last week was a case in point. I decided I was too lazy to actually make something for dinner, ordered a pizza... And ate the whole thing.

I know alot of us probably get hit hard with that particular temptation. It sounds like such a good idea when we're doing it, but the moment the deed is done its like; "Why, good God, Why!"

So I was wondering if maybe anyone knew about a sort of... instant support group online or something? These forums are awesome, but every once in a while we need someone to tell us that moment that what we are doing is not what we really want to do.

So yeah, I was wondering if anyone knew of maybe an online chat room or support url, or something along those lines that would be an excellent additional pillar to lean on along with you wonderful folks. ]]> Getting Started- New Member Introductions and Questions danv2 http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/getting-started-new-member-introductions/temptation-support-binging-19663.html Dan, again. http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/weight-loss-blogs/dan-again-19662.html Tue, 15 May 2012 09:11:45 GMT Hey all... I am back again. I realize no ones going to remember me, since I haven't been here in probably two years. Back then I started around 385 lbs and ended around 350 I think before completely going off the wagon.


I was a truck driver, and was finding it increasingly difficult to both eat healthy and motivate myself to exercise. Combine that with the fact that me and my former gf had broken up... And I just fell apart.



Since then I slowly but surely put on weight... Until I finally accepted that I was on a downward spiral, and I wasn't going to be able to will myself back into shape, or motivation.

I quit trucking right around Christmas, came home.... And sat on my ass, expecting the weight to just start coming off. lol. It didn't happen.

I eventually got a job as the Night Manager of a local Hotel. When I first started walking was a chore... I could do it, sure. But my feet and legs ached, my breath rattled in my chest, and I sweat with the first moments of exertion.

That was going on 4 months ago. When I first started, i weighed around 440lbs. The most I'd ever weighed. I didn't do much to change my diet, but slowly found myself getting in (marginally) better shape.

Last month (the beginning of April) I finally got around to joining a Local Circuit Fitness Center. By then I'd managed to get down to 423lbs. Between then and the beginning of May (my 1 month assessment), I lost another 15lbs- down to 408.

Yesterday I weighed 397 lbs.

And that's the story so far. I'll keep you folks updated on my diet and exercise daily. Because this time... I am going all the way.

I did this for 20 minutes today,per your advice: On the treadmill at the gym, I did a slow pace walk for one minute, then sprinting for one minute, then slow walk, for one etc. I watched my heartrate get into the % you suggested, and I worked up one heck of a sweat!!! But it felt great!! I intend to do this 6 days a week, along with 3 days a week of resistance training with Sunday being my Day of Rest from exercising to rest the muscles. Also lots of protein as you said. Of course watching my diet as well, which seems to be easier since I started working out.COOL!:secret: ]]> chirick http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/exercise-weight-training-and-cardio/huff-and-puff-whew-19659.html Lap Band Surgery Falls Behind http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/obesity-surgery/lap-band-surgery-falls-behind-19658.html Sat, 12 May 2012 22:52:44 GMT And more info: Lap Band Surgery Falls Behind | Video - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Health/video/lap-band-surgery-falls-13193458) And more info:

Lorcaserin, currently in the investigative stage, just won a crucial vote from the FDA that makes this pill that much closer to being the first FDA approved appetite suppressant pill to hit the market in quite some time, and the second to get to this stage in the FDA approval process this year. The name you'll see on the shelves is Lorquess. In essence the pill is an appetite suppressant and is meant to be taken on a long-term basis. The other pill, Qnexa got to the same approval stage with the FDA earlier this year.

Both of these pills, Lorgess and Qnexa got rejected by the FDA in 2010, and both pill makers had to come back with additional data to basically show that the positives outweigh the negatives. Just goes to show you how long it takes to get FDA approval in general.

We'll see what happens with these appetite suppressants in the next year or so; stay tuned! ]]> Diet Pills Obesity Discussion http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/diet-pills/appetite-suppressant-pill-lorcaserin-k-19651.html Prednisone made me gain 50, TAKING CHARGE NOW http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/getting-started-new-member-introductions/prednisone-made-gain-50-taking-19650.html Sat, 12 May 2012 15:23:07 GMT My husband died 7/11, then I got Asthma and was so upset I did not realize it until it got chronic.

After several treatments including Prednisone, I gained back the 50 I lost in 4 months time.

I am off the Pred. now and have a great chance to lose the weight and live a more active lifestye. I need a group to report to and take lessons from.

I may return to WW's if I don't find my own path.

Starting tommorrow at my gym, I will implement high intensity interval exercises that I have been just learning about. Essentially, one does quick bursts of exercise then slow down to slow or moderate pace, then repeat these steps over and over for 15-20 minutes. For example, I will go on the treadmill, start walking at a slow pace of 2.0 mph for 30 seconds then start running for 30 seconds at say 7mph then back to 2.0mph for 20 seconds etc for 15-20 minutes. This fast then slow pace fires up your metabolism big time such that it will not only burn fat calories then, but FOR SEVERAL HOURS (as much as 24 if intense enough fast spurts) AFTER YOU HAVE STOPPED AND ARE SITTING ONTHE COUCH!!! PLUS it enhanses your muscles!!! I will try it and if I can't do 15-20 minutes at first I'll do 5, then 7, then 10, then 12 etc each time until I hit 20 minutes. Try this, all of you. If no treadmill, then do walking then running alternate spurts for 30 second intervals. I will keep you in formed on my progress.:naughty:

I first posted in this forum back in 2010. I had injured myself at work. Hurt my lower back and left ankle. Always in a lot pain.

Fast forward to April 2012, NOW 100 pounds heavier! I found myself at 396 pounds. With high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and Vitamin D deficiency!!:(

NOW its when Patty gets scared!! Always been over-weight and/or obese. This is when I finally had enough!!! I had to do something or am going to die young!!

I been getting active little by little--I haven't really walk a lot in 2 years. My legs get cramped!

Been eating more (used eat one meal a day I Know its bad) smaller healthier meals 5 times a day. Eating around 2100 calories a day, give or take. My nutritionist put me at this calorie amount. But jeez!! When eating healthy 2100 calories is a lot of food!! Need sometime to get used to.

I really need your support! :help: I have an extremely large amount of weight to lose, over 200 pounds!!!

As of today, I currently weigh 387 pounds. So I see it is going down. Which is a huge PLUS!!
