Hey James, It really sucks that doctors sit there and tell you that you need to lose weight (which I'm sure you already knew) but then they don't do anything to help. What you haven't realized is that ... you lost 10 lbs. That's GREAT!!!! You CAN lose the weight!! Think about everything you eat, everything you do (moving/exercising) everyday. Write it down. Write when you eat, what, how much, even where you were. Even jot down how you felt (sad, happy, BORED) This will help you to become conscious every single day of what you are eating and then it makes you realize when, where & what your eating that is making you gain weight. I can help you with some great tips that are so basic and simple it's hard to believe they work. I'll be here to help you... every step of the way. My e-mail address is lgriego@marktravel.com (my mom's business) She's really cool though. She spend everyday helping me lose my weight and she makes it so much fun on the way. But there is so much I want to ask you so maybe I can help. So e-mail me. Don't give in, dude. P.S. I think it's great that so many others on this site are supporting you. Your not alone!!!!!
