[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 281383, member: 1991"] Sharing your story is good. Iam fully in agreement, whichever path someone takes, requires ongoing commitment and dedication. I am glad Inow look good, but the msot important thing for me, too, was health. My liver was in big trouble. After the weight loss the liver results were still not good but the specialist assured me, the improvement would continue, I just have to (mostly) maintain my weight for the next few years. It's funny - this evening I was tlaking to my sister about her husband's health problems. He's recently gained a lot of weight, he looks awful because his health has been badly impacted by a lot of things. He needs to loswe weight to get his health turned around but can't exercise and so says, "But I'llnever lose the weight now." I said to my sister - as I began my diet, knowing my exercise would be greatly hamperedanyway - I tore a muscle in my leg. So even the half kilometre a day I had been walking, was gone. For months I lost weight on diet alone, with various people in my life 'hurting' at me for 'being ridiculous' about the diet. husband finally pulled the critics back in line. I also got the green light to continue, from the specialist who said, "I know you're not eating a so-called healthy diet - you can't, or you will gain. So eat as little as possible, keep it as balanced as possible and take vitamins for what you're not getting." As the doctor said - drastic times called for drastic measures. The health problems from over-dieting were nowhere near as bad as the problems I was facing, from liver damage. I want to talk to my sister about my brother in law and his need to lose weight (and get his health under control). But I know neither of them would take it from me. There would be too many lifestyle changes needed from both of them and I don't know if they have the commitment. It's difficult to just sit and watch... Marg [/QUOTE]
