Hi! My name is Candice! I'm pretty new here. I have lost so far a total of 170lbs in about 2yrs. Its was a real struggle due to the fact that doctors I had had me on some pretty rough medications that restricted my weightloss. I first had the band put on to control my weight because from the medication I was on I went from a healthy 160 to a whopping 345! My primary care physican was like the pscychiatrists aren't willing to budge and we have put you on every diet change and exercise implementation so this is the next step or your not going to make it.
At first I wasn't losing weight at all just maintaining because of the medication so I took action and demanded they put me on something else with the support of my boyfriend. Because I really thought there was nothing I could do.
So now here I am 170lbs lighter. I still have like a little less than 20 to go to get to my matinence wieght. But I am very pleased with my acccomplishment! Now we are even starting to plan a family! I'm doing things I never thought I'd be able to do again like jog a couple of miles do pushups, intense cardio training, p90x, insanity! Its crazy!
I'm proud of me and of everyone who had the courage to charge and make a change in their lives!
