Hi All! I am new to the board, though not new to the battle to lose weight. I would love to join in your thread. I'm 42, almost 43. I'm married, and have three kids. I am a very recently certified CNA, and a hopeful LPN student for the fall session. I look forward to joining in and getting to know everyone.
I lost on low-carb about 12 years ago, and maintained for two plus years; but I got very sick with mono that caused issues with my immune system, and I stopped exercising. After a while I went off the low carb diet as it wasn't sustainable for me. Weight crept back.
Since the one success, I've tried vegetarian/vegan diets, attempted weight watchers, tried watching what I ate and using the various calorie counting sites; but I failed to lose weight unless I went below 1200 calories. This time, I am going the meal replacement plan (Wonderslim), taking all the work and counting out until I lose the majority of the weight. I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism this week and my doctor thinks that is part of the issue.
I do exercise. I walk the dog 2-5 miles daily, love yoga, and sometimes I jog, though I'm not jogging right now due to my weight. It is too hard on my joints at this weight.
I did lose 7lbs the first week on Wonderslim. It is easy for me to follow and I don't mind the food. I know I will need to address eating real foods as I get closer to maintenance, but I will worry about that when I get closer.
