4 Months To Go & Diet Starts Today.



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm ava. I'm new here. Well about me. I've been overweight since childhood... I had gd during my pregnancy and had my son 1/19 of this year. My mom passed the night before I had my son unexpectedly. Ever since January my weight has just been going up and going up.... I went to the doctor yesterday and I have one month to lose 20lbs I want to lose 25 because I know I can do it. Not for me but for my siblings (9,8,6,&2) and for my son (5months) although I'm paranoid about having it done I have faith and I know everything will be just fine. Hope some of you guys that were in my situation about being nervous and scared can give me some input on how you got through. Thanks ;-)

It is overwhelming and scary. But you just have to know that this is the best thing that you can do for yourself in the long run. I think a lot of us with weight problems are not used to putting ourselves first. With this...you have to. It turns out you end up feeling very empowered and may realize your full self-worth for the first time in your life. Best of luck to you!

You are in the right place. I was extremely nervous before I joined this site. Talking to these people helped me a lot.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
