Looking for encouragement

[Bobbi6]

I have been reading your posts for a while and just kind of staying in the shadows. All of you seem so kind and we all are struggling with weight. I weighed 236 pounds when I started looking here. Now I’m down to 228 pounds. I want to get below the 200 mark. I want to be healthy because I havepoor lungs, poor heart, pulmonary hypertension and sleep apnea. My weight is at a standstill and any advice on how to get it moving again would be appreciated. Thank you

Good morning Bobbi6 and welcome to the forum

I'm going to suggest you think about a different approach to healthy eating and weight loss. Please don't take offence at the title of this post - the content is well worth taking on board healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

A good way to start on the forum would be joining the Wednesday Wobble Warriors weigh in team. You'll get to know a very supportive bunch of people who will appreciate your support, too. Here's the link. If you read the opening post, it will explain all healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

You'll find a list of all the forum activities here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

..... and this Newbie pack will help you find your way around healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

We also ask that you read this information about internet privacy and security healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

I see your post isn't locked. This means that it, and any replies, can be shared around the Internet without your knowledge or consent (see the Twitter and Facebook logos below your post). Often that won't matter to you but sometimes people discuss personal stuff or accidentally disclose something that might identify them so we think it's a good extra level of security to lock your posts.

Wishing you all the best and I hope you become an active and supportive member of the forum 😊

Hello and welcome Bobbi6 😊

Well there you are - you have managed to lose the first pounds even without joining in! think of how much better/easier it will be with the 'weight' - literally and metaphorically - of all of us behind you!! For myself it's amazing how much 'connection' there is in the community - even though 99% of us will never meet in the real world!

Welcome!

You have made a great start well done. Perhaps try sharing a bit about what you are doing presently and what you find difficult will enable people to make a few suggestions? We all love feeling supported and this is a lovely group.😉
