I started losing weight last year after my husband of 17 years decided that he was not sure he was in love with me anymore.. I know I know not a reason to do it... After looking at myself and feeling sh&^^% I decided it was now about me and feeling good. In December I went to the dr and my weigh in was 272!!! I could not believe what i had done to myself. I use to be 127 lbs back in the day. I now have 2 kids and know we all don't stay that way forever but I know I am unhealthy. So In december I purchased a tread mill and began walking for 15 mins a night which eventually went up to 22 mins and was walking 30 mins a night. I cut back on meal intake (not easy for me cause I LOVE FOOD). I lost weight very slowly and was starting to get upset that I was working hard and getting nothing. Then i noticed some of my clothes were fitting differently and people we asking if I was losing. **i never kept a scale in the house*** So off to the store I went bought a scale that also helped keep track of the loss. In april i had to have surgery when I was weighed in I was 242!!! Everyone in the office was so happy and proud of me. What a difference i was feeling. After my surgery I did not get back on the tread mill bad girl i know. And still am not back into the routine yet... So since april i have not really done much of anything just cut back on how much I eat... (notice i did not say cut out) I eat what i want just small portions. I am today at 227 and wanting to continue to lose but seem to be at a stand still. I know get back on the tread mill and I know I should just need the extra push I guess. Well just wanted to write this all down somehow it seems more real this way. Last year this time I was 45 lbs heavier than now. And although I am getting such great remarks every where I go I wanna get a little bit thinner and healthier So now I would like to try a diet pill just not sure which one is safe and worth it... any suggestions? Take Care all

Hi,
Welcome to the Weight Loss Forums!

You've come a long way from 272 to 227, it would be shame to stop now. Hitting the treadmill and eating right will do the job but in most cases you need to get a little push.

My advice would be to keep working on the treadmill and also go to the gym. Try to get some free time and join a club. Aerobics will give way better results.

Its so great to get good remarks from friends and coworkers when you lost weight its just makes you feel so good. Please read this topic about psychological motivation http://www.weight-loss-forums.com/about81.html
