Progress so far is holding steady. I am still following the diet and have dropped 15 pounds so far. Today I wore a pair of jeans that I had been unable to wear as they were too tight and today they feel okay.

I plan on taking it one day at a time and one step at a time. At some point I know the weight loss will level off as I don't want to lose too fast and then gain it right back.

I have a daughter-in-law that did the sparks people and I joined it, but never followed their diet tips.

I am doing the slim-fast and joined that site. It allows you to track your weight and has helpful tips and hints.

Hey thanks for the Spark people tip, it's a great site!
Sleepy- I for one am making the attempt and hav edroped 8 pounds in the last 3 weeks. I decided that I cant stick to a diet and I hate working out. So I decided to just start with spending 2-3 weeks journaling what I eat. In doing that I had to start thinking about it and asking myself if I really needed that extra serving. Just keeping it in the front of your mind really does help! I usually pack my lunch so it's easier to watch portion size. And thanks to spring yard, garden work my activity level has greatly increased. I know its not much but its feels like a great start.

I am now tracking my food intake on the site sparkpeople.com. So far (3 days) it's been really helpful. I've realized that the breakfast we have every day is 573 Calories. Good stuff, but still doesn't leave me a lot to work with the rest of the day. So far I've been able to keep my day's total to around 1500 Calories. Hopefully that will result in weight loss. We're such creatures of habit it's nice on sparkpeople to be able to copy whole meals from one day to another.

How many are actually doing anything about losing weight?

If so would you share some of your thoughts, struggles, and suggestions.
Comment by sleepycarol on April 28, 2009 at 9:36pm
As many of you know I started dieting on April18, 2009. I have been on the diet for 10 days now and have lost 12 pounds so far. It has been easier than I thought it would be. My "diet" is under the discussion of taking control of my health.

Hi, I've been on the CPAP since last September. I was a long-distance walker until a year and a half ago. With my 2 daughters I trained and walked in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Charlotte, NC, in October 2007. Since then I've been afflicted with severe pain in one hip so that walking and most any kind of exercise is very painful. The orthopedist I went to one year ago said my arthritis was not quite bad enough for a hip replacement. I have another appointment with him next week. In the meantime I have found some relief from working out in a therapy pool. I have done yoga for 35 years, but that too causes a lot of pain now. As a result of this sedentary year and a half I've gained 35 pounds. This seems like just the group I need to get me going with weight loss. Thanks for starting it.

HI. I am new to my CPAP and am still adjusting. I was diagnosed about the time my new doctor informed me that the depression meds I was taking caused weight gain. My increased weight has me on 4 blood pressure meds. AND to top all of that off, I have just recently been diagnosed with diabetes. My goal is 75 pounds. I need to lose 100 to be at my perfect weight. I have a new diet, I am between jobs - so I have the time, I have a commercial treadmill and NO excuses. I will be using Sparkle People to track my weight.

Good luck to use all!

Well here's hoping this helps me! I promised to re-start exercising as soon as I turned in my final paper of the semester, and I did that today. I have a treadmill and the 30 Day Shred DVD and hope to try to do at least one or the other, maybe both eventually, every day starting tomorrow. I've also promised to start going to weightwatchers with my mother in law starting mother's day weekend.

I only have 100 pounds or so to lose. Easy right?

It'll be so worth it though. I need to be able to get up and down to play with my 3 year old son. Oh, and a new wardrobe would be pretty cool too. :)

Hi Everyone: I have been on CPAP for almost 2 years. I just starting going to the Massachusetts General Hospital Weight Center Program in Boston, MA. I am hoping if I can lose a lot a weight, I can get rid of this thing. I hate it. Losing wt does not always help. My brother did have gastric bypass and got off of it after 20 years using it. I have made myself a spreadsheet and will be tracking every morsel I put in my mouth (calories, carbos, sodium, fat, etc.). I need to lose 150 lbs.
