in Health and Weight Loss
I have been using Myfitnesspal since July 14th. My Dr wanted me to get healthy in order to have an invasive surgery. He said that I would not make it through a surgery this complicated without losing weight. He wanted me to get my BMI down to at least 35. My BMI is now down to 37! But I haven’t had a UTI since starting my journey. (5 months) I have lost 31 lbs. I’m so proud of myself. Because I’m so much more healthier I no longer need the surgery. I will just keep getting my uerter stent exchanged every 3 to 4 months! I will continue to stay on my health journey and lose weight, and reach a healthy weight and maintain it! This new lifestyle has been a new lease on life! For the first time in my life I am happy!

    That's absolutely wonderful: Congratulations!

    IME, it can be difficult to imagine in advance all the quality of life benefits that flow from meaningful weight loss, including quite a few that start showing up even before reaching goal weight. In my world, those health benefits, like what you're seeing, are The Best.

    Wishing you many more positive surprises as you continue on your weight loss and health improvement path!
