New journey, but i have a pacemaker

dominiquejohnson2016

Hey my name Dominique from NC. I'm 29 years old. I weight 341lbs. My goal weight is 160-200 lvs. My heart doctor recommended this weight because I have a pacemaker. With my heart being so funny acting at times I have to slack on cardio exercises. Food has always been my weakness. Just don't know where to begin. I want to live not DIE. So this is my chance.I just need alot of help and support

Hello! My name is Megan, and I am 35. I have had a pacemaker since I was 27, but I was born with a valve defect and have had heart issues all my life. You should discuss exercise with your cardiologist before you begin any program, but you may find you are able to do many things. Best of luck on your journey! Feel free to add me as a friend.

Hey Megan. I discussed some options with him. Right now he recommended no Cardio. So I'm beginning this journey by just trying to watch what I eat. It's hard because I just don't understand the basic. Like what's a serving,etc. I feel kind of slow. But I know if I want the support and help I have to be honest with myself
