Obesity Discussion Forums

[lucy oliver]

I'm new to this forum so let me introduce myself. My name is Lucy Oliver and I am 36 years of age. I live in Birmingham in England, am married with one child and have had a tendency to gain weight very easily most of my life. I love good food so dieting has always been difficult for me. I don't have a problem with exercising since I love doing sports like swimming and cycling and I regularly practise yoga. But all this just increases my appetite for food! I know that the basic requirement for slimming is diet and exercise together so I am joining this forum to try and get a little moral support fron others who have faced the same problems as me. Perhaps some of you have a few ideas how to strengthen my will power/resolve or know of any other things to help along the way.
Hoping to hear your views, Lucy

Welcome Lucy! Exercising of course should increase one's appetite, especially immediately following exercise. I'm not sure how many calories a day you are burning from your exercising, but a good hour a day of cardiovascular exercise should burn at least 500 extra calories. Should your appetite go up by 500 calories? I myself find that after I workout the next meal I have I eat more, not enough to counteract the calories I just burned from exercise.


I am curious, do you eat quickly? I find that a lot of people overeat because they eat too fast. I recommend slowing down how fast people eat their food and that seems to help them not eat so much. People these days seem to be in such a rush that they plow through their food very quickly, not giving their brain enough time to signal their body that they're full.

Do you drink a lot of liquids? I also drink at least 4 liters of water a day. Not only is it good for you but it makes you feel more full throughout the day.

How many meals a day do you eat? Having 5-6 smaller meals a day helps some people feel more full throughout the day. Also, what types of food are you eating? Can you give some examples?

Others here put pictures of themselves looking their worst next to a picture of them looking their best on their refridgerators as motivation not to overeat since they have to look at it before opening the fridge.

Lastly, when all else fails, having a meal plan can help. It's fairly easy to write a meal plan for yourself that keeps you in a target calorie range, and some people find it easier to have a plan to follow.

Greetings again folks it's me Lucy Oliver. I was surprised and delighted to see such a quick and helpful response to my first post on this forum. I've obviously chosen the right one for my needs! Thank you very much-i will act on your suggestions right away. Its so nice to be in contact with people who are going through the same sort of experiences and problems as me. I hope I will be able to return the favours in due course-in fact there is one little tip I would like to share with you that could help some of you.(it was recommended personally by a friend) There are some generic drugs that are helpful in weight loss programs such as xenical,meridia and accomplia. You may know about them but did you know that you can order them much cheaper online from a co. called xxxxxxxx? worth a try, no? Good luck to all you slimmers-together we'll conquer all the obstacles. I'll ge regularly logging on to let you know my progress.

With plenty of generic drug makers on your side of the globe, why would you use one on the west coast of the United States? That company seems very fishy. Their website is registered to an offshore investment company based out of Panama, the phone number is for an area code in central california, and the fax number is for an area code in Vancouver Canada I also found it weird that you say you are from the UK, but posting from an IP address based out of India.

Hi Lucy! I'm in the same problem as you. I read that you practice yoga. Someone told me that yoga is very effective for losing weight. I wanted to askyou one thing- Is there some yoga that i can practice while travelling in the bus or in the car?

[Merle]

Hello Lucy welcome! I agree that website thing sounds fishy.

[sass63]

Hi Lucy just thought I would stop by and see how your doing.

Unfortunately, Lucy got banned for spamming so she probably won't be responding to this anytime soon. If you check below her username you'll see that it shows her member status as being banned.

That would be me......and it wasn't that Lucy just put a link in her 2nd post, she came onto the site to advertise an internet pharmacy with her second post, which I later found out she has done on mutliple sites, registering just to advertise this internet pharmacy. Definitely qualifies as unsolicited marketing, a violation of the terms/conditions she agreed to when registering on the site. We get about a dozen of these types of people a month who register with the site just for the purpose of selling some random product. I catch most of them beforehand through the approval process but once in a while one slips by.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

I forgot to mention earlier that we even have a special place for advertisers to advertise their products:

ATTENTION ANYONE LOOKING TO MARKET THEIR WEBSITE OR PRODUCT

The purpose of the links directory is to keep all the unsolicited advertising in one place, so that it didn't flood the messageboard and dilute the quality content.
