OK i have been out on STD for six months now due to motorcycle accident.
and i have put on extra weight.
I am 42 5' 7" and weigh 230 pounds i am UPS grunt "deliver pkgs"
before i was i hurt i was still heavy, and took the daily ribbing about my weight from certain drivers EVERY day put on a smile but cry later lol.
any way i have R.A. Rheumatoid Arthritis and i take prednisone plus like 4 or 5 other meds for my RA trouble is the prednisone packs weight on and although i did my job well at 230 lbs i am not to vain to know i would feel so much better dropping 50 lbs.
here lies my problem i have been watching what i eat portion wise and i signed up for sparks people place were i can keep accurate count of calorie intake every meal every day and they have me on 1500 - 1800 calories a day so i monitor my calorie intake faithfully.
I don't eat the junk food anymore i eat carrots cucumbers, salad light dressing blah blah blah and i also eat a lot of haddock now, and i mean a lot usually have for lunch and supper and snacks.
joined gym doing 3 miles on treadmill and 20 Min's on bike, then i lift weights 30 - 40 minutes. oh yeah i smoke 2 packs a day.
I am really getting frustrated i have been doing this for few weeks to try and get back to miserable shape i was in before accident and i really want to loose this weight, i have 2 sons I'd like to be around for and a beautiful wife.
i Have only lost 3 pounds, and am quickly getting sick of carrots and cucumbers and salad, and the small portions i eat to stay in calorie range.
PAIDOVERINMAINE can back me up he knows me and he has also heard the fatty jokes made at my expense which i laugh off guy is Friend so i don't really want to shove my fist to the back of his skull i just quietly picture it in slow motion.
any advice food wise or exercise wise, or whatever i really am looking for some help and am finding myself getting frustrated over not loosing weight and trying so hard.
i don't want to drop dead delivering package wont be good for the family that i work so hard for.
anyone with RA or knows someone with RA any advice on loosing weight on a med that i have put 50 lbs on taking since 2004,
looking for good advice to live longer and maybe not be so frustrated and just give up.
Thank you
