You have my empathy. I am a 71 year old woman weighing in the 220s.i am on the Nutrisystem diet and I swim everyday. I've been at this for over 3 months and have lost 12 lbs. But some days I want to scream because the weight loss is going so slowly and I have so much to lose (at least 60 lbs.) A lb. a week is actually a decent weight loss for someone my age but I feel overwhelmed by the task.
Quitting is not an option for me; I have serious arthritis and walking has become nearly impossible for me. It took me 3 months to get to where I can waddle down the street for half a block without screaming. I was a bedridden invalid for over a year and that's how I gained the weight.
