Wow!!! Thankfully you made it through! This whole experience was super scary, especially for my husband and 9 year old son. We just didn't know what to expect and everything happened so fast!

I will definitely be eating well and resting. Thank you! I am soooo sore, I'll be taking it easy for sure!

I am finally home and recovering! Thank you everyone for the positive vibes. I got the results today and it turned out to be a benign tumor. They removed it and it weighed a whopping 13 pounds!! So scary, but my family and I made it through. I have lots of help so I can rest. Very thankful to be here and that they found it…

You won't believe this but I went to the hospital after my last reply because my stomach hurt so badly. It normally hurts off and on but not this bad! I was worried it was my appendix or gallbladder or something. And they found a large mass in my abdomen!! They said it is appx 10.5 inches across!!! The doctor is confident…

Thank you so much for all the feedback! I did gain weight eating 1740 calories a day for 8 weeks. I am going to take the good advice you've all given me and consult my doctor about it. In the meantime I will bump up my calories so that I'm not just eating 1200 a day. Thank you all again for your thoughts, especially about…

Emmamcgarity it give me a calorie goal of 1740 a day to lose 2 pounds a week. But I tried that for a couple months and I didn't lose anything. I have thyroid disease and other autoimmune so I sleep alot and am very inactive most of the time. Once I started shooting for 1200 I have lost 10 pounds over the last 4 weeks. You…

That sounds like a good rule of thumb. I'm about 300 pounds and 5'8. I do low intensity exercise because of my size and my bad back. So I'll do a slow easy bike ride for 25 mins and it says I burn over 400 calories on my Fitbit! It just doesn't seem right, so I've kept my calories at 1300 on the days I do 30 mins of…

I'll add you, we can cheer each other on! Ive noticed that new recipes help me keep on track. I'll try to post some more on my account 😊

You are so right about a sleep schedule and stress! It can really set you back! It's inspiring to hear how to you try to take care of yourself while being a great mom. Life does not stop for autoimmune disease. I am an emotional eater lol it's hard control eating when I'm stressed. But healthier options do help. It sounds…

You are a very big inspiration!! I too have noticed that I can do more when I am regular with my workout routine, I just have to keep myself on a schedule I've noticed, make sure I eat well and sleep enough, doing so prevents too many flare ups. I try to keep my diet under 100g of carbs a day, like you, low carb but not…

I've been walking and swimming in the ocean mostly, but I did just get a new bicycle! So I'll be adding that in too. I try not to over do it, yet still get some exercise in. My lupus has put me in stage 3 kidney failure recently, so I have completely revamped my eating. What sort of exercises are you doing? Congrats on…

I'm trying to lose 100+ pounds, I'd love to have some friends with big goals. 🥰

Aloha from Hawaii! We can cheer each other on 😊 woot woot!

I have 150 to lose! I will gladly be your cheerleader if you'll be mine too. 😂 We got this!

I'm hoping to lose 150 pounds! I'll add you, the more support the better when it comes to long term goals! 😊
