HI

My name is Lisa I am also 5'1" After having my son i weighed in at  178 lbs ! yes 178 ! At 38 yrs old . I was thinking with my Asthma how in the workd can I loose all this weight ! well I decided to try and exercise which helped a bit but not much. So i did some research. I try not to skip meals .I still enjoy my favorite foods (pizza chocolate) shh dont tell anyone  those i just cant resist. I cut way back on soda barely drink it now. My serving size is no larger than the palm of my hand. (except for pizza cant help myself).

If you skip a meal your metabolism will slow down . So if you loose weight by trying that way you will most likely gain it right back. so try not to skip esp breakfast. . I still try and execise.Included in that exercise is chasing my 4 yr old around LOL ! We try and snack on healthy options like sliced apple with peanut butter or some cheese with it. what ever taste good on it that particular day. Evan likes apples with cheese ?? oh and  baby carrots yum .

well i got back down to 142 .I would still like to loose more but its a struggle everday.just keep up the fight and know you have a reat support team with ya to help you along the way

hugs

lisa

I also wanted to mention, have you seen a dr or had your thyroid checked  I thought I typed it but when I re read it it wasnt there . OOPS !!!!!!!

hugs again

Hello.. sorry for my late reply.. but I faced a lot of things..

first of all, I started my work as a nurse officially in pediatric unit~ <3

and I'm so happy for that.. but at the same time, I'm worrying.. because my dad had surgery 17 days ago.. (CABG)... but the good thing that he had it in the same hospital I work in..

2 days ago he had respiratory arrest and he had shifted again to ICU..

I wish he get better soon...

anyway,  about my topic..

Mermaid..

thanks for your reply.. this is the problem.. I'm not feeling well from inside regarding my height or weight.. but I'll register in gym so I can lose my weight.. but my height I read about some drugs that can help me to get taller.. but I can't find the source again...

and I found something called body remodeling..

http://www.bodyremodeling.org/index.html

but I want to know more about it..

maybe your height same like my brother and his wife.. but what I want is 165 cm or in that range.. >_<"

Lisabethk... *hugs* thanks for encouraging me by telling your story.. I guess I have to fight for that too.. I like chocolate but I'm trying to not eat it a lot.. and sometimes energy drinks and soft drinks..

well.. I don't like to eat vegetables and fruits a lot.. >_<"

but I think I have to force myself to eat it.. and to drink more fresh juice and milk than soft drinks..

I'll do my best in my weight.. and I hope I can lose my weight.. and I hope to find a way to get taller too~ ^^"

about visiting doctor.. maybe I should do blood investigations again... specially that I have irregular menstural period.. I didn't have my period last month.. and sometimes more than that... >_<"

as I know, I have overian cyst .. I can't remember.. >_<"

and I was taking medication called Diane 35.. but I already stopped 4 months ago or more..

a lot of troubles.. -.-"
