I'm New! Would love Advice & Buddy!
I'm brand new! I began induction 2 days ago and just joined the water challenge. Please give me advice on how to have my stats and the weight ticker (tickerfactory.com) come up with all my posts if you know! I find reading others goals, etc at the end of their post to be encouraging. I've enjoyed rading the posts and was just approved to join in.
More personally, I just turned 37 a few days ago. I'm the heaviest I've ever been without being pregnant. Starting induction I was 190. (I won't weigh till the end of the first week.) I measured myself but have not posted the measurement because I don't know where to do that yet. I've done Atkins before with success but got off track and tired of the same food I was making for myself. It didn't help to have a wonderful husband with a boinic metabolism that can eat anything. Anyway, I did lose weight, about 30 pounds that got me down to about 150. Now I need to lose 40-50 pounds.
Even more personally, about 10 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant. Last Monday I found out I had a missed miscarriage, where the baby has no hearbeat. It was a great loss and eventhough I don't think there is anything I could have done I know I can and should get my body in shape and myself in better health before trying again, if we decide to. In addition, I've got borderline high blood pressure which I am currently taking meds for. I'd like to quit that by losing weight and getting healthier too! I'd also like to keep away the diabetes that many in my family have had.
Lastly, but certainly not least, I have a beautiful, wonderful 5 year old daughter that is the light of my life. I want to do what is within my power to be sure I am around for her as long as I can be. I lost my father young and he was obese and had unmedicated high blood pressure and who knows what else. I don't want her to know what that is like.
If anyone has any advice please send it! I believe I should have registered for direct email from forum participants and I will my email regularly and check forums for replies.
I'd love a buddy if anyone is interested!
Nice to meet you and best of luck to you all too!
