What happened to our Weight Loss Support?

Hi guys! I know I have been busy (really really busy) lately and haven't been on for awhile. But what has happened with the Weight Loss Support group that was going to be started on this forum as well? I haven't seen anything more about it, but then again I only went a few pages into the forum.

Are we still doing the weight loss support? I really need a friendly reminder to stay away from all the bad foods!! Today I decided to pack carrots with my lunch.... which is good, but what was bad is that I brought my own lunch (good... saves me $$)but a group finished having their lunch in our eating area and guess what I did.... Yep! It smelled so good, I had to have some and now, dang... I am so pissed at myself for doing that!! I tried to be good... really I did!!

Seems like topics like sex and just living with the machine took over.

I am still doing it via Weight Watchers, but think I may join TOPS because its cheaper.

I've losts. A year ago I was 220 I'm now 211. It isn't much but its something.

I too struggle daily with food choices, I am human. I think it helps that reward of weighing in and seeing the weight loss.

How dare they take over our Weight Loss Support with Sex... yeah, right, like we all look gorgeous in our masks and Living with the Machine... on cpaptalk.com of all places!!! How dare they!!

Don't they know we need the support to loose this extra poundage we all seemed to have put on so that maybe we can get off the "machine"?

All kidding aside, I really thought we would have a great thing going on here with the extra support in areas we are all mostly familiar with as to causes for OSA. Sex... the last time I heard even people without OSA can have great sex!!

The weight loss issue dies like it always does, it takes such great willpower and we are so programed to eat. If their was a machine we could strap on to lose weight we would all do it. But it takes a great amount of work and TIME something we are all in short supply of.

I am still actively persuing weight loss. If anyone wants to try to revive other people's committment or has any ideas on how we could make this work, I have always been open to suggestions.

I just don't feel I can head this on my own. If anyone is interested in forming some kind of committee online to organize, I'd be interested.

As a heavy traveler with very little spare time I can't head this either but as I need to drop a few pounds myself I would join in with someone and lend a hand when I can.

Um... perhaps it collapsed under the weight?

I, for one, am heading in the wrong direction, weight-wise, apnea-wise, depression-wise and I'm thinking perhaps life-wise.

Probably my fault. I'll get off of the support and perhaps it can hold up the rest of you.

Liam, shake out of it man. You are supposed to be the chipper jokester. Just a bad day my man, it too will pass. Look at the big sceme of thigs and realize that none of this is really important. One day at a time. Fell free to write me if you want to unload, we have all been there.

The problem is, I'm just so discouraged. I'm sleeping better without the CPAP machine than I ever did WITH it, but still not sleeping WELL (or else I never would have had the sleep study to begin with).

I'm tired all the time, I'm feeling like I can't get anything done, work is stressful, and I can't concentrate.

Although she swears she's not, Janet has to be getting tired of dealing with me and my depressions by now, and I've been in a doozy of one for most of the last several weeks.

Which has nothing to do with the topic at hand, I really have to stop hijacking the direction of threads...

If you find the "right" Psychologist you may be able to beat the
Depression without any pills. If you are willing to read I can
suggest some good self-help books, until you hook up with
someone who is a "pro" with the Cognitive approach.
