I was fat and thirty.......it wasnt fun. Now my husband is great. He loves me this way and he will love me if I get fatter and he will love me if I lose wieght.

I started out about 250lbs last year. The doc says Im now at 225. I need to lose about 60 more. I am tall and can handle the little bit extra. I would love to wiegh 140 but dont know if I can. Genetics, age and all that. I dont want to be a skeleton but I dont want to be a balloon either. People are so sweet they tell me I dont need to lose much but I really do. I want grandchildren and want to be able to keep up with them.

Does anyone know about Hydroxycut? I know it works but is it safe? You dont have to be 18 or over is about all I know. We sell it at wal-mart. So let me know? Puhleeze. And I do get exercise and I dont eat much because I suffer from GERD.

Welcome!!

Also, could you perhaps explain what GERD is, for those of us who don't know (myself included)?
=============
welcome!!

walks~with~spirit ... how tall are you? because losing 60 more pounds is a lot of weight.

i'm 5'11" and my ideal weight would be 185 or 190. at least that's what i'm striving for. (i'm 238 right now.)

:: sigh ::

i'm not sure what hydroycut is but there are a lot of posters here who might know.

anyone?

dreamy! long time no talk to! How are you??? Good to see you here...Congrats on your weight loss so far! I think you just need to find a weight that i comfortable for you and that you can maintain. Easier said than done i know! I don't know about hydroxycut but i'll see what i can dig up....

Hi Laru! Good to talk to you too.

HydroxyCut is like Metabolite. GERD is a fancy name for Reflux Disease. It can eat away at your esophugus *However you spell it*

It can be accompanied by acid indigestion and heart burn. A few years ago I had it so bad I was rushed to the emergency room. Prilosec is excellent if you can afford 150 dollars a month. Which I cant.

Thanks for being so welcoming Rosebud, and the other mods. ;o

My husband has that also, and he has it badly. He's on an higher dose of prilosec than most people, and he still suffers all the time. :( Luckily, with his insurance, it's not 150 a month! That's a ridiculous price! But anyway, sorry that you have to suffer with that, because it's horrible.

Im sorry that he has it so bad. I think mine is stress-related. I have been doing ok for about three weeks and that is how long I have been at the new Wal-Mart.
