My name is Shannon. I have to lose weight for medical reasons and have had the hardest time doing so. My problem is that I never have support, guidance or consequences. My husband tries to support me anyway he can but he's never had weight issues and just doesn't understand wuite what I'm going through. I have a disease that is basically preventing me from getting pregnant and the first course of action is to lose about 45 lbs. I could use a few friends to keep me motivated and on track and not let me get away with "falling off the wagon." Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you!

    Sorry to here about your disease, but I want you to know that i've also lacked the motivation and support i always wanted...so every time i started a new diet i always ended up gaining weight because nobody believe i can do it. But trust me you can do it.

    Welcome to MFP. I'm also here for medical reasons. I have a hip problem that developed osetoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in my ankle. Feel free to add me, its a great site. :smile: I have the same goal of 45ls, which now is 43lbs.

    You can do it.

    Feel free to add me too.

    Last year I learned that I was tied into a diagnosis that prevented me from getting pregnant as well and it was all connected to weight issues. As of today, I have changed my lifestyle and lost enough weight that my "syndrome" cured itself and I'm 100% healthy!! So... if I can do it ANYONE can do it.

    Feel free to add me and I'll help you as much as I can.

    Same here - add me. I know how you need support other than from your husband. For mine its too easy for him to lose weight and it makes me frustrated. Hopefully in a few months you will be able to defeat your medical issues.

    hi Shannon. Im fairly new. Just logged in my first 20 days. Its addictive and everyone is very friendly. Lots of tips and ideas. Good luck. every day is a new day. don't give up. I was already losing weight with weightwatchers but it was slow going and expensive then one day I thought enough of 'gimmicks'...... It all comes down to calories. Think of our bodies as fires which only need so much to keep going. Any surplus is just a waste let us know how you get on..
