[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, can we talk about NON MEDICATION tips please?[/quote]

Oh see what happened is you didn’t specify that in any way. [/quote]

I didn’t think it would dominate the convo![/quote]

Well honestly, as someone who only offered non-medication advice so far, OP? *What did you expect?*

Oh, is limiting alcohol, carbs and sweets breaking news to you?

Is increase exercise a revelation? Are you floored by the encouragement to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and lean protein?

Because literally a child could tell you to eat mostly healthful foods, and enjoy a few “sometimes foods,” and move your body. That shyt is covered in SESAME STREET. So if you don’t want advice beyond that, let us know exactly what you’re not comprehending about non-medication, basic nutrition and exercise advice?[/quote]

Wtf?  Not OP but maybe calm down, sheesh.  When you're starting off in the 200s and need/want to lose about 100 pounds, it's helpful to hear stories about EXACTLY what other people have done, besides "eat fruits and vegetables."  Not sure why that's hard for you to understand.  If you're not helping, you can always try another thread.[/quote]

If you are 200+ pounds, you can eat mostly healthy foods, still have a treat a day, and simply walk for 20 minutes and start losing weight. Seriously. A start weight of over 200+ is actually where it is easiest to start losing just by making simple changes. It would be harder for a 50-something woman at around 150 to lose 5 pounds than for someone 200+ at age 50 to lose even the initial 20 pounds.[/quote]

I'm the 50+ PP who lost 100 pounds and gosh you're making it sound pretty easy.  Let me be clear:  I severely restricted my food intake all day every day.  No snacking of ANYTHING between meals except sometimes I ate like 4 pickle chips or two peanut butter crackers.  No real desserts.  Lunch with friends at work?  Bring my own or sorry, can't do it this time.  Lots of cravings for food I knew I shouldn't have.  I found a different way to drive home so I wouldn't have to go by the BBQ place and smell all of those delicious smells.

Scoff at overweight people if you like but losing weight at any starting weight in any weight bracket at any age is no cakewalk.  Oh, please please lecture us on how easy it should be for us fat ladies to lose.  What the heck are you doing in this post or in the Diet an Exercise posts if you think losing 20 pounds is a simple thing?  Shame on you for being such a jerk to someone who is just trying to improve their life and looking for help in doing so.[/quote]
