edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hello, I am new to the site, so I figured I would introduce myself. My name is LaMar Resch and I am a 24 y/o female and I live in South Carolina. I am in the military and due to some medical problems and an unexpected, but lovely pregnany, I found myseld at three hundred pounds. Over the last 18 months I have lost 120 pounds but I still have another 70 to go. In the last month I have noticed some weight gain and I have not been following the regime that I know I should. I figured I would use this site as a way to get rededicated. I also have my first appointment with a bariometric specialist (dont know if I spelled that right) on Monday and then the military is sending me to a nutritionist on Tuesday. Unfortunatley all the military will do if you are a member is send you to a class on portion control. I already know what that is, but oh well. A little out of the pocket expenxze might help me stay motivated!
