So am I.

I've been on a beta blocker for almost two years. My doc wants to take me off it
so long as I lose weight. I just came back today from a stress test..ugh..
I did well though and I've been really watching things and getting out for a good
brisk walk that goes uphill in a few spots.

Dunno if any of you have done a stress test,but they aren't the most pleasant
things to go through. after you walk your ass off on a tread mill, they basically
do a sonogram on your heart.  My point being, is even though I did well on
the tests just being there going through all of it is a sure fire reality check
as to how important your weight/diet are.  

It's really got me wanting to stay on track and look for ways to improve things.
I'm sick of being on this stuff and can do without the Doc's visits. The co pays
and deductibles are going to kill me if this keeps up.

I do want to extend a congratulations to those here who have succeeded and
to those having a difficult time, hang in there and stick with it! It takes time
and a lot of work but I believe it will be worth it. Making both long term and
short term goals really helps for me IMHO.

By some miracle, I seem to have lost 5llbs in the last week.  

[Pedro]

Weigh to go Bert!

I put on 1.5 (again....down and up I go!) and Mrs Pedro stayed the same.
I'm not really trying all that hard these days so I'm happy to effectively stay the same while eating shed loads!

That's SO unfair, because I think I've found some of them, Bert. I've been working from home this week which has been disastrous as the kitchen is far too accessible. Would you like them back?

Errr, no

Tel you what though - if snacking is an issue, I reccomend bananas or slices of cold meat to nibble on. It's Frost*ie heresy ( ) but I'm afraid biscuits are out  

I did half a mind to celebrate with an old fashioned caff bacon and egg roll this morning, so I'm not competely cured yet.

[Pedro]

I did half a mind to celebrate....

....must have been a red day then.

[Pedro]

Forgot to report back....

We both "Maintained" this week -  which is fatty club's way of spinning the failure to lose any weight so it doesn't sound so bad.  

[Bert]

Err, I am most embarrassed but I seem to have lost another 5lbs this week.

Again.

Expect it to slow down radically.

And I am quite a fat b*****d so have lots to lose.

Was semi-chuffed though

[Mouse]

You go, Bert!    I really haven't been looking after myself recently food-wise, I tend to go from eating crap to not eating at all. It's not wise and it's not intelligent.  

However, I go for good long walks all the time and this seems to keep me in a state of equilibrium. After all, if something's not broken why the rush to fix it?

Or maybe I'm just lazy and I like Pringles too much...  8-)

[RacingHippo]

I'm very pleased to report that after 10 days either on a cruise ship or in restaurant-filled Miami, I've put on just one pound, which I hope to walk off over the weekend.
And if that one goes without a fight, I'll work on shedding another 20 or so......
