Good luck to you! The big numbers are scary. I totally agree- don't think of it as needing lose a 100lbs- but as wanting to lost 5 lbs this month ( which is actually too high)
I have been seeing a doctor that specializins in
weight loss- it is covered by OHIP ( Ontario Medical) .. no gimmicks or tricks. Although I also take wieght los drug, Meridia, I think most people can;t take it becasue of heart problems.( It increase blood pressure and
heart rate)
He is big believer is SLOW
weight loss- about 1 lbs a week and no more. Through reduced
calories, increased protein, increased fiber, and frequent eating. He is wonderful.
He also discusses how big a change a 10& loss in
body weight is and how even at 300/400/500 lbs this can make a difference on your over all health.
I started in September at 320lbs and I am now at 281. Just being below 300 was accomplishment.
