Hello,
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Vicky and I am 272lbs. I just started eating balanced meals again and walking for 30 minutes on the treadmil each day. I am following a low fat, low calorie, healthy eating plan. My goal is to stick to 1500 calories a day. I have done this in the passed and did very well. This time, I am making it a lifestyle change not a diet.
Right now, it is very important for me to lose the weight. For, I am still mourning the death of my mother and I don't want to gain more weight. So far, I have gained 15lbs in 7 months. It was due to stress of fighting with doctors, planning a funeral, finding the right malpractice lawyer, and the lost of my best friend; my mom. So, I do need a lot of help.
It has been 3 months since she died. And, the transition from full time caregiver to living a normal lifestyle has been devastasting. So, to add insult to injury I decided to boldy stepped on the scale. I felt horrible that I have let myself gain 15lbs. But, I know I must do something about this. One of my mother's desire for me was to see me lose my weight and get back in the upper 120's weight range. I am losing the weight for myself first, my mother second, and thirdly to acheived my life long dream conquering obesity.
Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you guys...
