I am obese (BMI: 39.4) and really unfit. I have obesity related health problems, including shortness of breath, difficulty walking, GERD, joint problems, etc. I need to lose weight for my health (not for the sake of my appearance although I obviously look out of shape).
Where can I find support to help me stay motivated? I know that there are on line supports, which I thought would be good for me, but I need a person/site to whom I can be accountable who is not too 'nice' to deal with me as someone who NEEDS to lose weight or I am likely to have serious health problems soon (diabetes and heart disease run in my family and I am 51 years old). Maybe I need someone who is not obese and so doesn't feel s/he shouldn't 'lecture' me.... I want someone who feels free to take me to task.
