    I have gallbladder issues too. I had my first gallstone attack at 19. Since most of the women in my family have had theirs removed in their 40s-60s, the doc said I'll probably have to get it removed eventually, but I can control it for a while with diet. Hopefully if I can control my diet and weight then I can wait until my 60s like my grandma instead of my 40s like my mom (I'm 31 right now).

    Good luck to you! <3 I was told to not lose too quickly because losing quickly can precipitate a gallstone attack. I was told 1-2lbs a week is fine, but nothing over that :) I'm shooting for 1lb/week

    Thank you. I do think that my previous weight loss, as well as my thyroid disease contributes to this. I am thankful that my gallbladder is not inflamed and I can put surgery aside for now.

    Good Luck to you too! It sound like you are doing well so far!!

    All the best to you @flabflipper314! You can do this! I can't imagine how difficult it is when you have mobility issues with your knees, but it sounds like you ar under the doctors care and I do hope this challenge will inspire you to keep it going!

    Thank you so much!

    My normal official weigh-in day is Friday, which I used the first two weeks. Today I'm switching to Monday as my official weigh-in day. Unfortunately, my Friday weight of 143.6 is much more impressive, but perhaps it'll force me to be more on track over the weekend. Bread/pasta carbs are not my friend and I indulged with both this weekend.

    Have a great week!

    ENCOURAGING WORD....

    Keep pushing through difficult moments. Breakthrough is assured if you refuse to give up. This is much like the birthing process; the reward is worth the fight. You will press into a new beginning when old things are in the past and put away! I'm right along with every one of you and I know we can all do it!
