Well im a 30 yr old mother of 5, i started gaining weight when i was around 19 after i was diasgnosed with hypothyroidism and only could lose weight after losing the love of my life and father to my children due to a horrific car accident in 2002 i got down to about 196 and then gradually started gaining all my weight back, ive tried every diet known to mankind, yeah it worked for a little while but then i would gain it all back or the diet would only last about a week. so it was last year when i went on this 1500 calorie diet and 30 minutes of cardio i was doin so good i dont know where i got the strenth from but boy was i strongggg, well i lost about 25 lbs last yr only to gain it all back plus more so now im up to a bmi of 40.2 which isnt bad but according to the dr im about 110lbs overweight. my health is startin to become an issue i have high colesterol, high blood pressure, back and knee pain i also think i might have sleep apnea ill have to discuss this with my dr i hate bein like this i cant do thing with my kids with my pressure goin sky high or running outa breath just after being in the mall 15 minutes its terrible i feel more sorry for my kids though they really need me im all they have something has 2 be done or else im gonna end up with more serious problems like diabetes or a heart attck they all run in the family my dad just had a triple heart bypass there is just so much that can happen, well anyways my first appt is sept. 4 with a gi nutrition i dont know why im goin to see a gi nutritionist maybe its the procedure at geisinger who knows but i hope this is the first step to being re-born
