I've lost 53 pounds since I've been on hospice. I watch My 600 Pound life and that keeps me working hard at losing weight. I count calories and don't snack between meals. From 2001 I went from 412 pounds to today's weight of 285. I know that's a big number but 20 pounds will being me down to 265 just 5 pounds away from where I was before I started gaining.

I am not sure why you are on hospice so I am not sure if I should congratulate you on losing so much or if you are losing weight because you are ill.

I'm trying to lose weight. I'm on hospice because I have 3 terminal diseases. My oxygen level stays low due to congestive heart failure, Cor Pulmonale and respiratory problems which puts me into failure at times.

Keep up the good work. In my case, I hope to gain weight.

@OreoBrownie Oh no, don't. It's quite frustrating too. Anyways, my weight problem is mostly due to lack of appetite.

I've gained a little now but it's because of swelling. I have cellulitis of my right led and ankle.
