hi valerie,
my problem is no matter what i try i cant lose weight .
I know thats not a new question, but I diet and walk when I can
but nothing seems to work. I dont eat much and people say oh theres no way you can weigh what i say im 5'6 and weigh 192 lbs. thats the most ive ever weighed in my life im 56. my husband is over weight to but he has arthitis real bad and two artifical knees. and a diebetic. So I have know cheering or person to give mr the inspiration to keep up with any diet cause my husband says I look just fine. I,m not happy with the way my body is . please if you could give ne some advive I know you won your battle I wish I could .
p.s. you are so pretty you did well. sherry. thank you.

I understand how you feel. I am 42. I remarried last August. Since we became a "couple" I have gained twenty pounds. I can't seem to lose them.

Valerie, I have been a fan of yours forever. I have watched all your shows and movies. I have looked you up. WE grew up in the same generation, and now are faced with "looking 20" and being 100 pounds. It is frightening. You never feel as if you are "enough".

I loved how you and your significant other walked together. My husband, however, works as a postman and walks all day. I am thinking my kids are the key. Walk with them.

When I first began walking, I loved the alone time. Now, I get bored. And it is cold in Pa!

Give each of us some incentive to keep on walking!

Thanks, Val, we love you.

And thanks, RR, for giving us a chance to know her once again!

Scarlett

I am 48 years old and I have that problem also. I am 5ft 4 and weight 210lbs. Before I quit smoking 3 years ago my weight was 169 . I quit smoking , got diabetes was put on medication and gained 30+ pounds. Now I have diabetic neuropathy can barely walk and look like the goodyear blimp. I cant afford to do Jenny Craig is there anything else that I can do other than starve myself ? I would love to be your size or Rachael Rays size but I just cant lose the weight.

Hi! Val I have had the lapband for about 5 years and It worked for about 3 years I lost from 260 lbs down to 140 lbs and then I couldn`t get the fills becouse of the high price of gas but any way i gained most of it back but now i`m trying to loose it on my own. But it is so hard. I try to leave off meat for 3 to 4 days and exercise 3 to 7 days. walk 2 to 4 miles 1 day a week. You ensiderd me because i have been watchin you sence you was on one day at a time. I am 47 years old but people say i look younger and I want to look that way too. I became disabled at 29years old and that is when i gain most my waight. i think the meds caused some of the weight. But i stay positive and seeing you on racheal keeps me going., Keep up the good work i love both of you.Shania
