I have fought the battle of the bulge my entire life (64 years) and I have always been the 'winner' in the past but in the last ten years I have been losing twenty then gaining thirty. I quit a twenty-five year smoking habit five years ago and have been packing on the pounds..I even gained weight while doing chemo (for colon cancer). I can't believe I weigh over three hundred pounds. I knew I needed help, that the weight wasn't coming off with my past diets, I needed to change something. I can,t walk very far and can't stand for five minutes. I have arthritis in both knees, my back and my hands. I had my surgery three weeks ago. I go for my first visit next week and I'm scared that I won,t have lost any weight. I am looking for a support group, the one that is close to my home (65 miles) only meets once a month and at 5pm..a little late for me to be driving that far home alone..so I am lookink for a good web site that I can use for support...hope this is it.
