<p>Anybody out there using a low carb diet to lose weight? I am finding that it reduces cravings for sweets, though I do enjoy an Atkins bar as a meal replacement which would count as a sweet thing. I have 20 lbs to lose having lost down to 153.5 from 170 (my heaviest weight), Have 20 more lbs to lose. I was 110 lbs (had been sick and was too skinny) when diagnosed with mild OSA, but it has worsened, possibly because of the weight gain.</p>

I am amazed what a normal meal should look like. 1/2 cup of cereal ? 1/2 cup ice cream ? hahhaha ! you know and I know what chubby folks eat. Its been a good experience. It was $65 for three months. I printed my BMI , healthy weight range , 5 % & 10 % goal weights and dates. Its hanging over my desk for anyone to see. I also have some pictures to motivate me. Honsetly kids , I could have been fine just staying here .....content chubby .... another full figure gal.. but I am so tired - I cant live like this anymore. I have made myself walk around the neighborhood .</font></p>

<p><font size="4">I have been reading some people in normal weight range also suffer from apena. If this is you keeping looking for a solution. </font></p>

Atkins was my diet of choice for more than 20 years but I never stayed on it for more than the amount of time it took to lose until I met my goal. Then of course, that meant yo-yo dieting. Let me say for those of you who like Atkins, you're going to love Belly Fat Fighter even more! I first found it in a magazine and can easily give you the plan here without you having to pay a dime!<div><br/></div>

Hi everyone,<br />
I'm trying to decide on how to lose some of this weight I've gained since starting CPAP. I'm obese anyway, and for some reason I've gained since starting CPAP in April. I'm going to try to find a place to swim, since that's my favorite exercise. As for an eating plan, can someone give me an idea about Weight Watchers?<br />
Also, does anyone have a Zumba DVD? A friend out in Ohio says it's great.<br />

I have no clue how to go about dieting. Never done it before. Never thought about it. But I have to. How do I know how many calories to eat and what forms they should take?

The second week in April of 2009 I went to my primary care doctor with a concern over my weight. I have gained nearly 40 pounds since school has started. Not good, especially when you are already obese. She ran some blood work and found that my blood sugar was high and I have diabetes. I was told I could probably control it with diet as my blood sugar levels are just over the line enough that if I don't do something fairly quick I am headed down a bad path.

I was told I could probably control it with diet as my blood sugar levels are just over the line enough that if I don't do something fairly quick I am headed down a bad path. I have a family history of diabetes (mom and aunt) and my kids were all large at birth.<br />
<br />
I know often times, untreated sleep apnea leads to weight gain, which can be difficult to lose, even if you are compliant with therapy.<br />
<br />
I thought others may enjoy the support that we could find and have a safe place to discuss topics related to weight loss, nutrition, dieting, and have a place where we can have fun doing it.<br />
