in Introduce Yourself
Just started using the boards this week. Been using MFP on my phone off and on for quite awhile. I added a bunch of friends but the majority of them have had weight loss surgery. It's touch to relate because of the lifestyle change they are forced to make after surgery. So I am looking for some pals who have weight to loss. I want to lose at least 70 lbs. looking forward to making new weight loss pals.
Karen:smile:

    Feel free to add me. I've lost 20 since Feb (10 before joing here) but I still have 20 to 30 (or 40 but I doubt that) :) The only surgery I man need is to have my man boobs reduce if they don't go down lol

    I've lost 22 since January without any gimic/fad diet or surgery. It should be more, but the empty calorie monster has gotten his fat little fingers back into my eating routine. Slow and steady, slow and steady! Good luck in your journey, and feel free to add me if you'd like. :)

    Hey Karen I'm one of the people you've added and I'm curious as to what you know about WLS and what lifestyle changes we are "forced" to make that someone who chooses not to have WLS don't "need" to make? Granted I am FORCED to eat smaller portions but for ME I don't really see a difference with the LIFESTYLE choices I HAVE to make in order the lose weight and be healthy.

    Just curious since you have been a weight loss counselor what you see if the "difference."

    Interesting. I had RNY in 2008 and don't see how it makes me any different than anyone else at this point. I have to eat right and exercise to keep the weight off just like everyone else.

    Hello, you can add me as well. I haven't had weight loss surgery, my doctor won't allow it. He told me to pull away for the table. And you know I got upset with him, now looking for a new doctor. I'm new to this as well, I started logging my food on Monday and looking forward to talking with you guys. Also I started the gym last week. I need all the suggestion and help that you all can offer.

    You can add me. I'm looking for some more friends. I have friends who have had surgery. It's not any easy way for sure, but I didn't want to do it. But I haven't always been overweight/obese. So I figure I should be able to lose it without surgery.

    I want to add one thing... WLS and the word Gimmick should not be used in the same sentence. WLS is not a gimmick, it is a very hard decision to make for anyone, and is quite scary - however it has saved millions of lives. I say this with the utmost respect to anyone out there, no matter what choices we make.

    Carry on. :)
