100 pounds or more to lose

Hello my name is Marcia. I have 90 lbs to lose and have a million excuses for doing nothing about it. I could really use support and friends. I just joined tonight. I work days and swing shift and sometimes 16 hrs shifts. I love carbs and since giving birth 16years ago have never lost the weight. In the last 8 years i have managed to put on more weight. Counting calories has always scared me but I am ready to give it a try.

Maria:Why has this scared you? Feel free to friend me and private message me about this.

Hi i am new too. I ruptured my back and had other health issues. Then i started using my bad luck as a reason to eat comfort food . Now i have 100 lbs to lose before gastric bypass surgery and just had my first visit with the surgeon and dietician. Journaling is what i hate, thats what i have to do though. I am assuming this is the way to lose, because every wright loss program i have tried, says journal. After the surgery and recovery i need neck and back surgery, so have to do this. I will stay in touch, let's try journaling. Let me know how it goes.they said to eat 1600 healthy calories a day. Avoid carbonated beverages, and alcohol.
