My goal is to lose 100lbs. but haven't had the nerve to even start yet. I'm going to work on taking a nutritional shake in the morning and at noon supplement with a high fiber meal replacement bar with the shake. Right now I get up and have a bowl of Frosted MiniWheats and nothing but about a gallon of water until dinner. Yes, I tend to over eat at dinner. Bummer!

I know I have a lot of work that has to be done but because of my chronic illness am unable to exercise. Double whammy!

Hi Craig,
The fact that you are here, is a positive step!
Did your PCP recommend the meal replacement drinks, etc?
I always feel a little concerned with these weightloss methods, because they don't teach you how to maintain your weight once you start eating normally, again.
Whatever you decide, I wish you the very best with it.

OK folks! I went to my PCP last week and I weighed in at 288lbs. Scary to me as this is only 12lbs away from the big (no punn intended) 300lbs mark.

On Thursday I will start my weightloss program. I will be drinking a weightloss chocolate shake from GNC and eating a high fiber Atkin's meal replacement bar for breakfast and lunch. I will then have a Weight Watcher's dinner prepared by my wife.

This should be a two week program to get me started and then I will be buying proven weightloss products from a network marketing company to follow up. I know these products work as a friend of mine lost 100lbs in six months and to date has lost a total of 125lbs. and stable for two years. I even lost 18lbs on the nine day weightloss program so I'm pretty excited I can actually DO this.

I'll keep you all informed on my progress, or lack there of.

I am there myself. My husband looked up medical conditions that can be caused my obesity and I am going to get on the ball. I'm new here but if you need to chat! Good luck!
