Welcome! You've come to a good spot. Like Deb said, there aren't many of us on this forum but we are supportive. The first few days are the toughest, aren't they? Good for you on giving up the Coke. Substitute it with water as a super new habit. If you find the water too bland, try adding Crystal Light or my favourite, Mio.
We do a regular weigh-in on Wednesdays and there is usually a post from someone on the weekend as we struggle with the unstructured weekends...they're just not as easy as the weekdays.
Hope to see you on here regularly.

Hi there welcome to the OH forum. You will find plenty of tips and support here. This particular board is not super busy but I have found tips and support here. I try to follow a Volumetrics (high fiber low fat) type of diet and exercise. I set my weight loss goals small and strive to reach them. Good for you for giving up the coke cola that should help. Please feel free to share anytime. Deb

Hi all congrats on your loss Tammy. This is my PMS week so according to my scale I have gained 5lbs grr
Last week 245.2
This week 250.2
I haven't been following my plan the best this wk and no exercise because of back issues. I think a lot the gain is water. Back to basics for me.

Hello. I am new to the Obesity Help site, but hoping to find some support from any of you on a weight loss journey. If nothing else, just someone to talk to when I am fighting the urge to grab a Coca-Cola. I am only on Day 2, and wow so much harder than Day 1. I am doing ok with the food part (I think). I have started a Weight Loss Challenge on my facebook and have a blog, but not a lot of support coming in.
I have gained 62 lbs since a medical issue started last October, and after thousands in DR appts including the Mayo Clinic, no answers were found. Now i am on my own!
Tips are appreciated!!!

Topic: RE: what is it about weekend?
Hi Win, I have my most difficult times in the weekends too. Seems I get hungrier on Fridays and it sticks around until Mondays. I think it's head hunger, change
In routine & sometimes boredom for me. Or it's the I'll start my diet on Monday mentality. Also most social activities are on weekends and time with others usually = food. I had to shop today and I swear I could hear the pumpkin pies calling out take me home and eat me. Lol lol I left those pies on their shelf and treated myself to a pricey bag if cortland apples (my fav) instead. Hang in there Blue I will be thinking of you! Treat yourself to a fav healthy item.

Topic: what is it about weekend?
Why are weekends so much harder than during the week? I've been busy doing things but it seems everytime I pass by the kitchen all I can think about is something to snack on. I don't think I can drink anymore water.
I have to cook this afternoon because I have meals planned for next week that need to be done today. My schedule for next week is pretty busy not to mention next weekend is Thanksgiving. I sometimes think the shorter days and cooler weather send my body into hibernation mode.
I have some shopping to do too but I don't want to go the mall because of all the temptations (given the current mood I'm in).
arrrrgghhhh

Topic: RE: Hump Day Weigh-In - Sept 26
We just hit week 23. We still have the weekly weigh-ins and classes until week 26. Then we have 6 sessions between week 27 and full year mark. If we want to attend more (if we feel we need the support) then we can purchase additional sessions. Like you, we can make appointments to see the doctor or dietititan if required.
Good luck at rheumatologist on Monday. It's good that you've identified foods that cause flare-ups...I'm sure that will be helpful to both you and doctor. (Tracking and journaling really do work. Are you using My Fitness Pal?)

I understand the pain flares, it's hard to even think about exercise when it happens. It's too bad that they can't do the optfast program online using skype I think a lot of people could benefit from it. I know that some people use the shakes from Costco with a little food to match the nutrition from the optifast or as an alternative.
