GOOD MORNING
Just wanted to introduce myself,,,
My name is Holly,,,I am 52 years old, and I currently weigh 292.8 lbs,,,,,when I started my diet 3 weeks ago, I weighed 301.2
I have NEVER in my LIFE weighed that much,,,,,sigh.
I do know I have to change it,,,,,,I have osteoarthritis, bone on bone, in both knees,,,,,,,I need knee replacements, but frankly, I don't want to weigh 300 lbs when I have them,,,,,,it will make my recovery SO much harder,,,
My biggest challenge is water weight gain,,,,,it fluctuates like crazy,,,,,,usually, the weight I can be the most sure about is Monday AM,,,
I spend all week at work sitting on my butt, with my feet getting more and more swollen,,,,I take water pills, but what usually works the best to get rid of it is running around like crazy on the weekends,,,,,Monday mornings my water weight gain is at its lowest,,,
I know it's temporary,,,,but it's frustrating to be one weight on Monday morning and by Friday weigh 5 lbs more,,,,,,even though I have counted every single calorie.
Anyway,,,,,,,that's my biggest challenge,,,,
Just a bit about me,,,I have 3 kids, 5 grand kids, I make handmade cards when I am not working for The Mouse (I work in reservations for Disney) which I absolutely ADORE. I go to Disney as often as I can,,,,,,,,and I have to use a scooter due to my osteoarthritis,,,,,,,,which is totally embarrassing,,,another reason I'd like to lose weight and get new knees,,,,
My biggest question,,,,,HOW ON EARTH did I let it get this bad???
