Good Evening,

After the passing of my mother last year (July 13) I gained more than 25lbs, today I visited my doctor (who is also on here) and she suggested that I try it out, so here I am. I have invited some family & friends and I have posted (hopefully) my before picture to as my profile pix and when I go back to see my doctor I will have hope to have lost lots of unwanted pounds...

Im open for all suggestions to healthy weightloss suggestions and know that exercise and fruits and vegetables will need to be a huge part....

Good luck to all thats on here for the same purpose.

1lb at a Time
Tiffany, MI

    I am sorry about the passing of your mother :( You can lose those unwanted pounds! When you do (I know you will!) Your mom will be looking down on you and will be so proud (:

    My advice is to take it slow...baby steps. If you try and change your whole lifestyle all at once you will almost certainly give up eventually. Make small changes to begin with...try to drink water until you've consumed at least 8 cups, THEN you can have your diet soda. Or try incorporating more vegetables into your diet before "giving up" the things you really aren't ready to give up. My point is that you should start slowly and go from there. Before you know it you will have turned your life around without it being such a challenge. Oh, and if you are new to exercise I highly recommend Leslie Sansone videos. She does walking workouts that are perfect for beginners. Good luck!

    Welcome! I also gained >25 lbs after both my parents died 6 months apart a couple of years ago. That, coupled with a divorce, really sealed the deal for my weight ballooning over 200 lbs!

    I've found this site to be so helpful, supportive and informative! I am sure if you log regularly and start changing just small things you will see results!

    Good luck! We are glad you are here!
