Just wanted to update

I'm still looking for a doctor but in the mean time I was going to try and diet. Ive tried before but I've never given 100% so I am really going to try and see if it makes a difference. So far since July of this year I've lost 17lbs doing nothing really - so I'm curious to think if my body might be changing. I have a 2year old son and before I was preg. with him I was on my way to being average - I'm 5'9 and I weighed 190 which is about 20 -30lbs over average for my hieght. But once I became preg. I gaind 50 just with him and then lost 20 when I had him and I've slowing packed on the pounds to weighing 287(well minus 17 now;) since he was born 2 years ago. Anyways, that was background info - now I'm currently at 270 give or take a few everyday. I'm eating healthy and I start 6months in the gym Monday. No trainer but maybe my determination will make a differnce! I will keep you posted. BUT while thats happeneing I am still going to try and get approved if it doesnt work. But I'm going to give it my all - ONCE and for all and we will see. I would love support in my effort - noone really motivates me here. I have noone - and I dont want my son go through what Ive been through my whole life. I want to set a healthy example, which Ive failed to do thus far. Thanks for listening if you made it this far! I appreciate all of you for being so welcoming to me! - Megan

Megan, sounds like you have a positive attitude on life and on you weight. I hope you can get approved for your srug. but in the mean time I would give it my all in changing my way of cooking, exercising, and eating. Losing 17 pounds is great. keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! take care, Chrissy
