Hi, all you losers! ( I mean that in the nicest way!). I just found this forum, and I think you are all doing a wonderful job helping each other. Support is so essential when you are in the throes of something as traumatic as changing your life-style! Good thankness, I have an extremely supportive husband, who has made my journey fun and exciting. I started a program here in Toronto last Sept. and as of this morning, I have lost 106lbs. with about 75lbs. to go. I attend a clinic 3 times weekly, and receive Vit.B shots, and I follow the diet program to the letter, as I would be a fool to jeopardize the whole point of going. All the fantastic people at the Clinic are R.N's and there is a resident MD. Blood work is done every 2 mths. or more if necessary, a chat with the MD every 2 wks. or when you have a question or concern. Each day I take, Multi-vitamins; Calcium with Magnesium and Vit.D; Bari-Efa (Omega 3 Fish-oil); Potassium. The only other pill I pop, is Glucosamine for my creaky knees, which have been complaining about all the excess baggage they've been forced to drag around. I try to put it all into perspective by piling 10lb. bags of potatoes on the table, (in my case, I've lost over 10 of them). Just try to pick them up!!!! Yet that is what I asked my body to do 24/7. I cannot tell you all how energized I feel, and how elated I am when I discover I can do things that were impossible just 6 short mths. ago. I have been on diets in the past, and succeeded, but I always felt (and thought I looked) fat. For unexplained reasons, this time my entire outlook is different, and for that reason, I know I will never be fat again!!! As I said earlier, I still have a long way to go, but I know I will reach my goal without any problem, probably around July/Aug. Of course, there are other things I will have to deal with at that time, i.e. non-elasticized skin wondering where to hide. It's already showing its ugly face, but if that's all I have to worry about I am blessed. I haven't felt this healthy in years, and because of the strict medical control at the Clinic, I know that I am in almost perfect condition. This decision to regain my health, has probably added years to my life, plus the fact that I will be able to physically participate in the enjoyment. I hope through this forum I can help motivate or help someone achieve their goal. It is so worth the effort!! Cheers!
