Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stormonu" data-source="post: 7649872" data-attributes="member: 52734">Sitting in at 270 lbs (pun intended) and just barely making 6' with my shoes on, I've been trying to find some way to get the poundage off.  I'd kill to be back down to 187 lbs.  It's extremely disheartening coming from a time when folks used to poke fun about being able to see my ribs to my wife poking fun at my "Budda belly."I've tried to set myself up with changing my diet and getting in at least some exercise.  I've only had one coke in about 2 weeks, drinking most no-sugar-added fruit juices and trying to ween off that towards pure water.  I've been trying to do two 15-minute walks at work during my break, but the way things have been, either some work emergency comes up thwarting me or my boss makes me feel like I have to sneak out to get the exercise.  And of course, by the time I get home, I'm usually too mentally tired to try anything (and this time of the year, too dark).Overall, I'd say the biggest problem I have is I don't feel like anyone wants to help me lose the weight.  And I'm the kind of person who thrives on moral support.  While I know it is up to me to fix this problem, I've never had to worry about trying to lose weight before and I just don't know what to do.  In a way, it feels like everything is working against me.In May, we'll be going Walt Disney World.  I'd love to just be able to walk the length of Epcot without it killing me.  Right now, a hike up 3 flights of stairs and I sound like a steam engine pulling into station.</blockquote>
