    Everyone has to find their own way. Sometimes we have to remember that works for one person will not be an option for another. Our life situations, existing health problems, relationships and other factors enter into this. No one can judge another person's decisions until they have "walked a mile" in that person's shoes.

    This is a forum that can be immensely helpful in our efforts. Keep in mind that most of us are not health care professionals.

    Listen to your doctors and your family. Do what is best for you. You have a huge incentive to get healthy to help care for your son, and yourself.

    Best of luck to you! You can do this! Take the support where ever you can find it. People here are amazing and can help enormously on your way to becoming healthier.

    Feel free to add me as a friend too! It's a hard road for anyone trying to lose weight so taking the steps you're already doing is a huge accomplishment. I saw you started with 10 mins of walking with the scooter at the ready with your daughter! That's a great way to start! If you can do that 3x a week and then maybe try to add in another 5 mins to each session every other week you can gradually increase.

    I think you're doing a great job already and wish you well!

    I also had my first visit with the dietician. My clients and friends don't think i should have surgery, but i keep gaining. The weight loss is possible for me for about three weeks, then i stop journaling so thats our first goal. I will let you know how it goes this week. Hang in there and stick with the dietician!
