So, how far have you guys come in 3-4 months? Have you lost somewhere between 88 and 68 lbs, or are you just diddling around here? It's do-able, but you have to understand that it's no one's fault but your own for the state your body is in. And it will be entirely up to you to change it.
So the doctor on the program said Thomas had probably added 5 years to his life, by taking off the weight and improving his general health. By taking charge of his lifestyle. Sure beats being in a coffin 5 years too soon, all because you don't *choose to* control the fork, and get out there and get some exercise.
If you have been *dieting* since September, and can't honestly look at the scale and see that you've taken off at least 15 lbs every month in that timeframe, or at least 60 lbs total since September 13 (this being January 13 so 4 months x15 lbs= 60 lbs) then all you're doing is playing games, and fooling no one but yourselves.
So which is it? Success, or failure??

How dare anyone get on this board and act that way. You don't have a medical degree and you are not in anyone's doctors visits. To sit on your high horse and pronounce judgement on something you know nothing about is asinine. I am wondering if the people who post this bunk are truly trying to lose in a healthy manner or they are those little itty bitty people that are way too skinny and aren't healthy. I can honestly say those of us that have been overweight would not speak in such a manner. OH by the way...just to add another tidbit...women going through menepause gain an immense amount due to hormone changes. HMMMMM, could that possibly be medical???
Well Im glad you came out of lurkdom to say your peace Sheila =) Now we know you are there although your name is very familiar to me.
