Desperate but no options
I'm new to this forum. I'm about 100 lbs overweight. I'm a 40 y/o wife and mother of 2 great kids (DD-11, DS-7). I recently lost my job which didn't cover WLS but I'm hopeful that I'll find a new job soon and that my new coverage will include this as a benefit.
My ultimate dream is to find a sustainable way to lose and keep the weight off without surgery.
I'm interested in hearing suggestions.
I mentioned this in another post in response to another person who posted a similar thing to you. You may ant to try Overeaters Anonymous (OA). At one time, I went to OA and lost 100 lbs. in six months and kept it off for seven years. You may also want to consider Taekwondo (a form of martial arts). When I participated in Taekwondo, I was losing 20 lbs a month. I was going five days a week for one hour. I've always had trouble with gyms as it seems no matter how much I exercised I never seemed to lose weight and therefore lost incentive to go. I found it easier to do Taekwondo as it was not only easier to lose weigh,t but I got excited about attending as I progressed passing each test and getting a new belt color. As a bonus, I learned self-defense moves.
