3dkids2's Journal, 04 March 2023

Good morning FatSecret Family!
Well, yesterday was my 2 year anniversary of this attempt at weight loss. I started in 2015 at 309.... there were no other entries of weight record. I did try to log for a bit. Then I started again in 2018 - now weighing in at 344..... again, I tried to log food for a bit, but no record of weight loss (or gain). In 2021, after a difficult discussion with my mom (thank you mom), I was seeking assistance from a surgeon. I met with my own doctor weighing in at a whopping 367 pounds!!!!! I met with a surgeon on March 10 (360 pounds). The surgery was going to put me in trouble during our busy season at work, so my decision was to wait until October to start the process. Meanwhile, I would go back to FS and try to lose a little on my own. I did very well and by October, I was thinking I would postpone surgery indefinitely. It's still not off the table, but I DO NOT INTEND to NEED it. Now, some would say that I still need it (my docs). I am still technically in the obese category. But my goal weight- 191 - will put me into the "overweight" category. And I believe that will be acceptable and sustainable for me! I feel good, I look good, I have so many NSV (non-scale victories that I can't mention them. I am meeting again with my doc next week. My A1C has been normal for the past year, and I should be off the blood pressure meds this visit. I am eternally grateful to my Father in Heaven, the support of my family, and ALL OF YOU! My FATSECRET WARRIORS!
Let's keep up the great work on this VERY DIFFICULT journey! Love to all!!

This is all fantastic news and I’m very happy that you’ve healed your insides enough to ditch the meds. Health and pharmaceutical freedom should be the biggest priority for losing weight. Just to lose all the medication side effects is a relieving win 🏆

Reading where you started from and the struggle you went through to get to where you are is amazing I’ve tried losing weight before but couldn’t seem to do it I would write down what I’m eating and how much but never was good at counting calories on my own and didn’t have the money to pay for apps or docs that could help so I gave up being on fs and seeing everyone supporting each other and encouraging each other helps me believe I can actually do it this time congrats man super happy for you and very proud

You've done so good! Congratulations! I am also in the obese category. I think it will take about 10 more pounds to be "just" overweight. Then ill
