Georgia I can see myself right there with you. I started at 275 and am now at 211 at 6 months out. Which is about were you were at 6 months,I'm hoping that I do not hit a long period of not losting, and hope I can tell myself that I'm thankful for losing what I have. I do feel so much better and hope you do too. We both have to remember we were "lightweights" and are somewhat older than others (I'm 61). From what I understand we can continue to lose for 18 months. I've always been a slow loser and have almost always been on a diet so eating now is like I'm use to eating most of the time only I am able to stay on eating the low amount without any trouble. I have also heard that if you change your eating habits some it can kick start you into losing again. Like go back to all liquids for a few days. On one of my many diets I was told to eat only apples for a couple of days. I just keep hoping if I lose slow my skin will have time to snap back in shape, (fat chance)LOL. You take care and write me anytime, I hope both of us reach our goal.

Thank you to all of you that sent me notes of support. I'm sort of a loner and don't have much family (and they are skinny!) I was quite touched and it eased my bitterness and anger quite a bit. Despite my handicap, I do try to park way out in parking lots so I can walk extra far; which usually results in added pain, but I will continue to walk as much as I can; as my mother was in a wheelchair and I DO NOT want to go there. Again, it was so wonderful to hear from everyone and their kindness and concern. Thank you. Georgia

Hi Georgia...first off thanks for updating your profile so we know a little more about you. I am sorry to hear of your slow weight loss. If my math is correct you've lost 86 pounds in 10 months. I guess it's slower than some others have had, but not the slowest I've ever heard of. I have never lost 86 pounds and kept it off, ever. You said you hate to exercise and that exercise is difficult. There are videos of chair aerobics out there, maybe you could try that. Can you walk? Maybe a short walk to start, adding 5 minutes a week. I hope you have some answers soon. and you will feel more at peace. I wish you well and please continue to share your weight loss journey with all of us. God Bless.

Georgia, I am so sorry that you are going through this. I am wondering if a revision may help? Maybe someone else here would know more about who is liable for something going wrong, and who is responsible for finding out what the problem is? Hopefully, your doctor will take some positive action, and resolve this for you. Maybe you need a second opinion? I am sorry I cannot be of much help. However, I really empathize with your situation. I pray that you will heal. I pray God will be with you and that you will feel His comfort. I know you are probably going to receive a lot of supportive posts so I pray that you will also find comfort that we are all thinking about you here at obesity.com. Take care hun!
