hey all im always like today is the day ill loose weight for sure then something will happen ill put it off for a while then ill start again. I have over the 18 years of my exsistance managed to go into a size 28 and weigh about 330 lbs it all went a huge downward spiral along with my entire life. the downward spiral started at the age of twelve at that point i weighed 230 lbs i gained 100 pounds by the age of thirteen i was at my peek weight as i said 330 and my lowest point in life. i have over come most of my emotional difficulties although i was diagnosed with bipolar disorder i am coping well in some regards. the one thing that i have not been ablke to overcome is my massive weight gain!!! ive tried and tried i have managed to lose about 30 lbs and keep it off but i need to lose alot more any advice its welcome. ill be here for a while i hope :)
 
Hi Kathy. Starting a diary can be a great forward step into helping with weight loss. I think the basic starting point is having a short term goal and making steps to get there. Counting calories that are sufficient for you and regular exercise it what I would encourage. Walking if you enjoy that can make a huge difference itself.

Also don't forget what you have already accomplished. You have kept 30# off, that is a tremendous feat. Now you are looking for ways to alter your weight, that is another starting point. On top of that you are dealing with being bipolar---that is HUGE! Congratulations for getting to where you are now. Some of the meds for treating bipolar can make weight loss more difficult as you probably already know, that could be a discussion with your doctor.

Please give yourself some well deserved credit! I can't wait to read your updates.
