MDJunction to me

ITeach91"MD Junction has been a lifeline to me. The support and information I receive from group members is so important for me to maintain a good quality of life. I struggled with a diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and did not know where to turn, but then I found MD and it has been one of the most important tools to help me to enjoy my life and stay as healthy as possible. We really are stronger together than we could ever be alone." (ITeach91)

Obesity ForumsGeneral & SupportDr. Mc Coy said I should lose weight!

Hi, how are you?

I'm new today 5/20. I have made a decision that I want to lose weight. I want to get down to the weight I was 15 years ago. I have had enough of feeling this way. I also realize that having a lot of food doesn't make you happier. I feel the weight more than I've ever felt it before. I also believe that having this extra weight could be worsening the panic attacks I have. My doctor, Dr. McCoy, told me I need to lose weight. (I got you... I bet you thought I was serious!)

Dr. Leonard H. McCoy

In all seriousness, I have to lose about 100 pounds and I've already started today. I would appreciate any support you could give me on dieting and nutrition. Thank you.

Be well.

Rich

I too have panic attacks because of the weight, meeting new people wondering if I will be able to fit into tight places...etc...

We all have a lot of the same issues, so feel free to jump in anytime even if you just need to vent!

Welcome kevin I think we all here have the same problem but we can help each other by making each one of use accountable for the type of exercise we do everday. What about what we eat too. We can make up discussion of the day with exersice let me know what you think.
Take Care Lady Rb
