    Just take it slow. One day at a time. Set goals for your self. Just try your best.
    No one is perfect, and there is no "quick fix" to weight loss. Exercise when you can, and watch what you eat.
    Do not let anyone tell you, you can't!!
    Best of Luck to you !! You can do it!!! :flowerforyou:

    Just keep repeating to yourself....YOU CAN DO IT!!! :smile: this is the best place Ive found on the internet..and the people are so supportive and give you such inspiration..:love: .as others have said just use the resources here...and put down in your food journal every bite you eat...that wakes you up like nothing else can...and it wont happen overnight so don't get discouraged...we didn't put it on in a day and we cant take it off that way either...slow and steady...that's the only way the weight will stay off.....good luck and welcome!!! :flowerforyou:

    YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: (drink the water...very important)

    No you are definitely not alone!! We at MFP really do wish you the best! I can't believe a Dr would suggest surgery when it is not all THAT much to lose! My suggestion: Log ALL food, Drink at least 8 cups of water a day AND Move It ,Move It Move It! Yes and keep us posted on your progress big or small, good or bad! You can achieve all things!!
