Hi, My name is Vicky. I'm 5ft 2in and currently 231lbs.

I need to lose weight for ankle surgery in May. I need someone to share good and bad days with, and I'd like to support and motivate others if I can.

    Hi Dolly
    My name is Becky and I'm 5.0" tall and I'm at 240 but I use my fitnesspal app everyday and to keep track of food even the bad stuff. I have quit drinking soda and I have lost about 10-12 pounds by eating better got off soda and started doing excerise at least 30 minutes a day. my goal is to be under 200 by this time next year. We are planning a Disney world trip with my daughter and I will not pay for a second seat just for me on the plane. :smile:

    Vicki feel free to add me. I am also trying to lose weight because my ankels and knees are always aching and I know because it's of my weight gain. None of my close friends are trying to lose weight so I have no motivation or support from them so I turned to MFP in hopes of finding people to help keep me motivated. I am sending you a request: kmarie****inson

    Hi, I also am in need of a buddy. I have no support for weight loss in friends. I think the more people we can share our journey with the smoother it will go. Please feel free to add me.

    I don`t know what kind of surgery that you are getting, but my best advise is, be as strong and in your best shape possible before the surgery. Ankle surgery will slow you up for a bit and hinder your mobility whilst healing. So I advise that you figure out how to exercise and do some stretching for the rest of your body now, without using your ankle.

    I had knee surgery a while back. So I practiced stretching and seated dumbbell exercises for a few weeks before my surgery. Its easy to gain a lot of weight and loose strength healing up. Which only makes your recovery time longer and harder.

    You can add me as a friend. I am 5'6 218 pounds and have been on here a few weeks. The people here are very supportive and have a lot of good help to offer, you are in the right place. Good luck on your ankle surgery. You will still be able to lose weight with eating right alone until your ankle heals.
