mikewdby,

OK - there is something clearly within your control - your weight - get working on it - SOON - work it every day, every meal - get your friends and family involved. Evaluate everything you eat - get a professional dietician to assist, if needed.

Are you diabetic? Other weight related issues?

If you are fully mobile, get walking and exercising! Preparing and being in the best shape possible relates to more positive outcomes!!

Thanks for the reply,…YES to your suggestion.

I have been walking about 1 mile a day. I have dropped approximately 15 lbs (from 267# to 252#) since June 2022. I’ve plateaued now for the past month or so - somewhat discouraging. I’ve also switched from 2-3 cans of diet soda per day to mainly flavored sparkling water (and maybe 1 can of diet every other day). No ice cream (my favorite) for over 3 months. Down to 1-2 glasses of wine per week.

Wish to lose another 10-15 pounds.

Will try duct tape next!
