ObesityHelp

I'm thrilled to have found this site. I am in my 50's and both DH and I are obese and have reached the realization that we have to take action now to loose the excessive weight.

I've been exploring weight loss surgery (WLS) but have decided to try diet first after extensive research into WLS. I haven't ruled out WLS; it is my last option, that desperate last option.

Update 1:

We are eating only whole foods, no industrial processed crap. Our diet is working so well that we don't qualify for WLS anymore since both DH and I have lost so much weight. If you want to know why we chose to eat what we do you can read The China Study by Dr. Campbell. We are following Dr. John McDougall's Maximum Weight Loss diet and getting our info from his website and his book. Here is a link to his website if you're interested http://www.drmcdougall.com/forums/index.php


Update 2: Both DH and I are officially OVERWEIGHT - never I thought I would think that is fabulous, but I'm thrilled.
