Need someone to help me

Postby heather_livengood » Sat Feb 05, 2011 7:02 pm

If I had just ONE person to whom I could be accountable, I'm sure it would make the difference I need in losing this weight. I don't have it, irl. Is there someone here that will commit to email me or pm me, even just once or twice a week, and who would pray for me? I could do the same for you, in what capacity/area you need.

I have to lose at lease 40, possible 50 pounds. It is urgent that I do so, as I am at an all-time high, getting older, and diabetes killed my grandparents, father and uncle. My mom and both my sisters are all diabetic. I am getting scared. My family needs me.


Thanks,
Heather

Heather, first of all, it's so nice to see you here! I was thinking of you just the other day!

I would love to be your "partner" as I also really really need to lose weight and get healthy. I'm trying to prevent diabetes since I am already insulin resistant. I'd like to lose about 35 pounds at least. We could email each other once or twice a week and vent or share our successes and pray for each other. If you feel comfortable with this, please PM me. Glad to have you back! :)

I want to lose ten pounds. Ever since I was in the hospital for three weeks and couldn't eat (lost ten pounds, found twenty), my metabolism has been messed up. I can't exercise the way I want because of pain, but I can walk on the treadmill for a little while (which is what I used to do). Unfortunately, it's in Vinnie/Amanda's room and I can't use it (they will be leaving our home in five months). I just need to walk up and down a step--anything for exercise that isn't too painful.

I can't be an accountability partner, but I will be praying for you two--and we'll all check in. I won't weigh myself consistently because of past eating disorder issues, but I;ll know if it's working.
