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 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.

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!!

Thanks,

Once again, it's Randy H's brother here, because Randy dumped this site. So when I last posted, I wasn't all that interested in Randy losing weight other than letting you know what a jerk he is. But now that's changed.

So my parents kinda gave up on the Randy-losing-weight idea for a while and just figured it'd go away by itself (LOLOLOL). So Randy's been his normal blob self for a while here. And now college is coming. Randy's going to a local community college and decided he wants to do football there, but the coach said he'd have to lose a good deal of weight before he even CONSIDERED him. Well, at first I just kinda thought that was funny (there were a LOT of really fat guys on the high school team).

But apparently Randy had a little mini-tantrum over the whole thing and really, really wants to play. My parents are both really busy right now and don't have time to deal with him, so my mom came to me recently. She said I could basically be Randy's personal trainer and help him lose weight. So at first I was all set to refuse and let the idiot motivate himself, but she said if he got on the football team, she'd pay for me to go to Australia next summer with my choir.
Enough said.

Well, not enough said, I guess. So now I'm in charge of this, and obviously just weight-loss advice isn't enough, because I also have to deal with a spoiled, whiny 18-year-old brat who never grew up. Suggestions? Similar situations? Commiserations? So Randy is going on 300 pounds, we think. I don't know how to motivate him to lose weight, or really what the best way is of going about it, because now we have a limited time. Here's some reminder pictures...





Whoops, how'd that second one get on here? Oh, well...

Please help this poor soul in need! And by that I really mean me...

And in suggestions for everyone else, I think I mentioned before I'm overweight myself. Recently I've been on a gluten-free diet and it's worked very, very well. If you can find good substitutes for gluten I highly recommend it. I lost over fifteen pounds in a little over a month. I was thinking of it for Randy, but it just isn't quick enough and he's very resistant to giving up sugar. Smuggle-donuts-into-his-bedroom kind of resistant. ]]> Getting Started- New Member Introductions and Questions RandyH http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/getting-started-new-member-introductions/update-19638.html http://www.obesitydiscussion.com/forums/getting-started-new-member-introductions/im-new-member-want-lose-19592.html Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:13:30 GMT Hi,
