I have tried everything over the years to get back to a healthy non-obese weight! I gained 65 lbs when I carried my daughter and never lost 35 but then when my son was born and my marriage became depressing and dark, I gained an additional 150lbs!  I did everything to lose it when I decided to divorce including getting the lap band surgery! I worked out with a personal trainer and did every kind of diet imaginable including I totally quit drinking any sweetened drinks including soda pop, cut out all bread, potatoes, pasta, and any desserts! Still I struggled with needing to lose over 100lbs! After becoming an empty nester, I finally joined a weight-loss challenge and became extremely athletic and even became a runner for awhile coupled with extreme low carb dieting, veganism for awhile, and no alcohol I lost enough to get close to pre-marital weight and in a size 10/12! Because of erosion and complications I had to have my lap band removed.  I gained 10 lbs automatically and after a ankle dislocation and emergency surgery on my spine, I gained all the weight back and more.  My health has declined and I am back on meds so I decided it is time to finally get some help with this obesity! So many friends and associates have died suddenly since October and I want to live!!! My goal is to be healthy and fit again!!
