Hello,
I used to weigh 250, (that was already almost 2 years ago) I now weigh 220 (no that is not good, because I am now on my way up again) at one time I weight 199.
I need to go to at least 149 (I am only 5' 2" tall)
The problem is that I seem to have lost all will power. I don't seem to be able to say no to myself as far as food goes anymore. I don't want to gain the weight back. I desperatly need to loose more. I know I will never be a very thin person again. But, I would like to at least be comfortable in my own skin.
If it would not be too much trouble, I would appreciate it if someone would be willing to give my willpower a push in the right direction. I know I can do it, I almost did it last time. PLEASSSSE SOMEONE HELP ME.
Thank you Micheline Villeneuve

Hi Micheline. You have the same last name as my maiden name. I would be interested in contacting you. I am about the same height as you and need to lose weight as well, I guess right now I am at my heaviest, which is close to 200, I reckon I need to lose about 80 pounds or so. I have not had much success dieting. I do about 35 minutes of aerobics every single morning, which is good, and try to walk wherever I can. I do catalogue sales right now so I deliver about 180 catalogues a week, and also pick them up. Interested in hearing from you

Hi, my name is Kim. My relatives call me Kimmy. I weigh close to 200 pounds. I am only 5'5" tall. I am interested in becoming internet ediet buddies. If that is feasible for you. Contact me back if this is an option. I have begun dieting. Which took three days of pure agony, but still ever now & then I have these horrible headaches. I don't know if it is in my mind or not, but I believe it is from lack of soda, chocolate, etc. I am proud of myself for beginning something, but I so want a Mountain Dew almost every day. (That is probably just in my mind too I am sure.) Well, please contact me if you would like to become ediet buddies. I could use a lot of support and I would love to be able to be there for someone else as well.

Hi Kimmy,
Sure we can be diet buddies. I understand your problem. I personally don't crave for sweets but salty foods. But the results are the same, they all go on my hips.
I started the diet just yesterday, I find drinking the water a challenge for now. I don't miss the food so much (but lit has only been one day ;D)
I will tell you a little secret that works sometimes for me. When I really crave something, I give myself one or two hours. Meanning that if I still think about that food in 2 hours from now, I will be able to have one bite. Most of the time, the 2 hours pass and I don't crave that food anymore and what is more important for me, I did not deprive myself.
I know dieting is difficult but when you feel deprived, that is even worse.
Take care... Hope to hear from you soon.
P.S. Marie Alice is also a diet buddy. Maybe between the three of us, we will have enough support to make it through.

Hi Kimmy Welcome to All_Easy _Cooking I remember when I first started to diet I use to drink a 12 pk of Coke a day and a pot of coffee sometimes two pots on top of all the coke cola and I got just nasty, very nasty headaches. I went to my Doctor and he said that it was due to the lack of caffeine my body was use to receiving and is no longer receiving it. I was having caffeine with draws he told me that after a week or to that they should start to lighten up. I was throwing up because the headaches were so strong. The doctor was right after a couple of weeks my headaches started to go away. You should check with your doctor just to make sure that these bad headaches are not something bad, just to be on the safe side.

Hi, Girls! Thanks for getting back with me! The headaches just come and go now. It has been 9 days now. Wow! I can't believe it. I very much appreciate the support. My husband has been a big help, but he loves his snacks. I haen't had but two sips of soda since I began 9 days ago. Actually this is easier than I thought. Thanks for all the advice, too. I have also noticed that if I feel the need for something sweet, I grab a pickle. They have no calories or fat grams. And the sourness of it really takes away my crave for that sweet/chocolate. I guarantee it can work for the salty cravings too. But you really have to like pickles. I am not weighing myself for at least another 5 days. I feel I might jinx myself or get disappointed, so I thought I would wait. I can tell though that I have lost fat in my face and shoulders. Of course not in my tummy or behind (which are two most important ones for me to lose it). My biggest trouble is to exercise. I do leg lifts and stretches-no problem. Now for anything else, I can't get the habbit down yet. Well, thanks for your ears. Please keep in contact. I wasn't sure if I should give my email address, but here goes... Please put something in the subject line to get my attention. I am good at deleting messages without opening them because of viruses and all. Thank you again! God bless us all. And good luck! Kimmy
