I'm new to this app and I'm not 100% sure how this works. I don't know if I'm in the right place? Does anyone else have a massive amount of weight to lose? I'd like to drop 53 kgs (approx. 117 lbs).
Let me introduce myself...I'm 40 years old, female, and I've been overweight most of my life. Although this (128 kg or 282 lbs) is the most that I've ever weighed. I remember telling myself when I was younger that I'd never let myself get over 91 kgs (200 lbs), yet here I am almost 136 kgs (300 lbs)!
I've attempted diets many times in my life, dropping quite a bit of weight sometimes, only to quickly regain it all. My issue seems to be staying away from the wrong types of food, because I really have a sweet tooth and I love cakes and ice creams. Also, I'm not much one for exercise and I'd really like to become more active, as I know it's so unhealthy to be sedentary.
Recently I had a giant health scare (unrelated to my weight) and I was in the hospital and needed emergency surgery. This opened my eyes to what I was doing to myself as I heard the doctors discussing all around me what their options were during surgery because I was so obese. I could barely fit in the wheelchair the nurses pushed me around in and I could tell that they were straining to push me.
I don't want that for myself. I don't want to be talked about like I'm some oddity or become a burden to someone because of my weight.
I got myself a fitness watch, started drinking only water (except the occasional morning coffee), and I've stopped snacking inbetween meals.
So is there anyone else out there who has to lose a large amount of weight or has lost a large amount? Any tips to share? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you if you read all of that! 🤗
