Hi the topic says it all. About 6 years ago I was not doing so good, family issues and PTSD issues. Got my crap together and started losing weight. To the tune of 108 lbs. Down from 355 (248) supper proud of myself. A divorce and children issues, Now
Fast forward to 2017. All weight plus some are VERY mucch back (366). Started getting back to the way I was in 2011. Today at Avera Fitness 3 weeks in and down to 355 and still feeling blaaa but better than 3 weeks ago. Trying to get healthy to stay alive with my new wife of 5 years. I'm doing this for me but being alive for her is a great bonus.

Happy to read you make the right decision to loose weight. You deserve a lot of respect to already loose so many weight, you must feel fantastic about it. I'm here for 3,5 weeks and will loose 100lbs, because i also get an advice from my cardiology to loose weight.

Welcome. I'm also dealing with medical issues exacerbated by obesity (in my case poor lower body circulation hurting my lymphatic system and making my leg prone to swelling and infection). You can absolutely do this. I've gone from 254 lbs to 200.6. It's not always easy, but the support here is great!
