Hello,
I just found this forum tonight. I've been looking for a place to share all my weight issues (I have a lot of them) and this looks like a nice place.
I'm going to be 55 next month, and I've spent my entire life losing and gaining weight. I've tried Richard Simmons, LA, Weight Watchers points, different plans set up by dr.'s, and taking pills. I lose 30 or 40 pounds, then gain it all back and usually an additional 10. I don't pretend that I'll ever be thin, but I wish I could get my mindset back on track. In January I decided to lose weight by summer and lost 30 lbs by May. But you know what? Nobody noticed. Not one person. It was so discouraging. I started out at 238 and got to 208. So I went off the diet and went back to eating after dinner and all the foods I didn't eat when dieting. I've gained 15 of it back. I feel so depressed and disappointed with myself. I keep thinking "I need to lose it", but it's just driving me nuts. Anybody else feel this way? I've never been suicidal, so that's not an issue. I'm happily married for 34 years and have two great kids....no grandkids yet. My husband and I enjoy car shows and the beach. We have a Corvette and take it to shows around Pa. I have a crazy little tabby cat whom I just adore. Anyhow, that's about it. Just a little bit about myself. Can anyone tell me how to make a ticker?

Hi everybody!
 
Welcome! I am new to this forum, too. I know exactly how you feel. I have been losing and gaining for the past 17 years. I tried all the same diets. This forum has alot of support and information. Also, you can find how to do a ticker under the topic: NEW-PLEASE READ, How to work tickers by L-Jay. It took me awhile to figure it out but the information will help you set one up.

Believe in yourself, you can do it!

Hi there! Welcome to WLF! I know it hurt that no one noticed but you have to be honest with yourself...are you doing this for you or for others? If you're doing it for you, your health and for a longer life then screw them if they don't mention it. Losing it should make you feel better about yourself whether others comment or not. *hugs* Best of luck to you!
