Quick question: Has anyone used a Medifast supplement? Thanks in advance for any response. Another question on my mind: My family and freinds are all accepting, for me to get.

Surgery.

..

The only person to tell me not to do it was my gym trainer..

Of course he was overweight in his teens, lost it in his early 20's became a.

Personal trainer.

And thinks I can do it as well..

I told him, I'm in my 40's, single dad, demanding job, etc... and I still haven't been able to do it. Plus as you get older. your body really changes..

I honestly believe I need that push of the operation to get my motivation going and body back to a normal weight. I know that once I am at my desired weight, I will fight to the death not to get mobidly obese again..

Diet and excercise might work for people on Biggest loser and 3-5% of the population. Not for the most of us..

Any thoughts?.

Go with what your heart tells you...only you can make that decision. I think it is the best decision I ever made aside from marrying my husband...lol. The biggest loser contestants get to put there life on hold for 6 months and do nothing but.

Exercise.

, very few people can do that. Good luck on your decision..

Research.

And found out all you need to know about this.

Surgery.

Your trainer probably just wants you to continue spending all of your money to train with him! LOL.

If you didn't need the.

Surgery.

, your doctor(s) would tell you!.

Best wishes! Jill..

Plus the biggest loser contestants might lose to begin with but then have the same problem we all had after we lost the initial 30 ,40 maybe even 100 lbs,,,,, we cant keep it off! Even with.

Surgery.

We might not if we arnt committed but at least we have a swinging try!.

They don't show this result on the biggest loser!!.

Don't let anyone...including a trainer, tell you what is best for you. Only you know what is best for you. I am sure you have considered other options and consider this decision to be the best one..

I have a friend that made the decision and commitment to work out 6 days a week and work with a trainer for the past 2 years. He has lost the same amount of weight that I have and tried to talk some crap with me last night. I set him straight and educated him about my decision to permanently alter my anatomy and the lifestyle changes and decisions that I make daily to care for my body. It shut him up pretty quickly. I also told him that I have a lot of respect for him for being so committed to his routine and changes. You may want to do the same with the trainer.

If he cannot be that support for you, then move on to another trainer that will..

Congrats on your decision to take control of your health. You are supported here in this group. A lot of us totally understand your situation..

Hang in there!..
