New Girl on the block

Options
Heya, I'm new to this sight. A friend at the gym I go to told me about it. I am so looking forward to making this work. In 2005 I weighed 550lbs. I have been working really hard to get down to 376 lbs. Last year, I was diagnosed with Psuedotumor Cerebri and now the weight loss isn't an option. My doctor wants me to lose 60 lbs every 90 days or they are going to put a shunt in my head.
I can use all the support I can get. And people to talk to about the struggle.
I'm like this, I just look at cake and gain 5 lbs. lol
Thanks,
Take Care,
Katty
(pronounced Katie)
