  • Hi there! I need to lose as well. Start by looking at what you eat, and subtracting one item. For instance if you eat 5 slices of pizza, eat four instead. Keep doing this each week. For exercise, try simple stretches to start. I have seen people start by waving their arms in the air. It works. Feel free to add me as a…

  • My co-worker had WLS. She has gone in to have the tube connecting to her stomach stretched several times because after surgery, it was too tight. She couldn't have solids at all. I'm not against it, but remember it's a major surgery, and requires a lifestyle change for good. Good luck!

  • Thank you! I can ask for the A1C levels. I certainly hope it's not pre-diabetes. I'm glad you're levels are normal now. It's good to hear you lost weight after you got it under control. I started Levo today.

  • My doctor gives me pills for dizziness. But I question what is causing it. My blood tests recently came back normal. I'm so frustrated!

  • There is so much truth here. Yes, I eat because I'm unhappy with my life. The mirror is my worst enemy. My husband does care about my mental health al9ng with the risk of diabetes. I don't blame him. It hurts to hear the truth sometimes. My life changed dramatically when I suffered an anxiety attack 6 years ago. Since…

  • Hi there! The hardest part is to get started. I would suggest doing some yoga to gain some strength and flexibility. Then gradually add 30 minutes of cardio 3 to 4 times a week. I have health issues myself, and I found just walking was very hard at first. Good luck, and know that you have support here.

  • Hi there! I haven't checked this post in a week, but when I saw how many of you posted, I cried. Thank you so much for your support! And you all are so right, we all need to do this for "us". The nice weather makes it easier to go for bike rides. Walks are a bit hard for me if I don't have anything to hold on to. I have…

  • Hi there. I can relate to you. For three years I battled, and still am battling severe anxiety and depression. As a result, I have gained 60 lbs. My current weight is 225. To deal with anxiety and depression, my advice is to seek medical help until your body calms. It doesn't have to be permanent. Feeling better mentally…
