I am a FRUSTRATED Newbie---
| Sun, 01-25-2004 - 10:35pm |
I am a Single Mom and need help and support and NO one seems to give it to me around here.
I was 350 lost to 230 and gained back 70 + when I got sick last year! The doctor put me on HORMONES and I swear I became a balloon, then I had a major allergic reaction after surgery that gave me steriods for several months which added to the problem. Between these two things I have been ready to scream. I have lost another 25 pounds back and have to take my hormones 10 days a month, which makes taking them bareable. I have INSULIN RESISTANCE and ovarian failure! Could it be worse? Of course, I recently got back test results on more blood work and it is NOT good. I have got to lose the rest of this weight!
I read ATKINS last week! It looks impossible TOO restrictive, tried Weight Watchers and forget it! So I JUST finished reading The South Beach Diet and plan on starting in the morning!! Carb withdrawal here I come...but with everything I have read on insulin resistance low carb seems the way to go..ANY ONE ELSE GOT THIS?
It still has a lot of rules but not quite like Atkins. I have the Leslie Sansone Walk AWAY the POUNDS videos (actually that and water aerobics is how I lost weight before-until I got sick), gonna have to get up bright and early and do that too (even if it kills me).
I keep telling myself I can do this.... BUT it seems so hard.

Now I use Slim-Fast products and do a body cleanse every 2-3 months. I hope this works better because it definately fits my busy lifestyle.
Good Luck & Welcome to the board! We're here for you so post away.
