Hello. My name is Nancy. I have been on my weight loss journey since the beginning of this year but have failed myself by not sticking to it. I was told by an endocrinologist last month that if I don't lose weight by December he will need to send me to see a weight loss surgeon and that is not something that I want so I am determined to lose weight because my mother had the gastric bypass surgery done when I was 15 and she almost didn't recover from it and still struggles today.

    Hello Nancy, are your stats so bad for your doctor to threaten you with weight loss surgeon? And you did not fail yourself, you failed a diet. You only fail yourself if you give up and not try again. It took me 20-30 years of "trying again" to get me at my current 85 lb loss since Jan 4th. I also had two sisters that suffered for years from complications from weight loss surgeries. Unfortunately they are both now gone. Please fill free to friend me. I will do everything I can to help and encourage you. YOU CAN DO THIS !
