Hi! I'm new to the group, I have lost a wrath so far, but am still far from my goal. My big thing right now is that we are going to Disney on April 1st we take off, and I really want to lose about 25 lb before then.
At my most...well robust, I weighed 298! Over the last couple of years I've gotten down to 250 or 260, but am now down to 225 which I haven't been down to for nearly 16 years or so! I'm tall, 5' 11", but still I'd need to be close to 7 foot to make that weight ok...
So, now I'm down to 225, into a size 18, and really need to get down under the 200 mark; I'd take 198; for my own sanity and peace of mind...
Problem...I've had several horrible gallbladder attacks, the last of which had me in the hospital from Sunday, Tuesday afternoon! I've been great with my food, basically low carb & low GI-ing it with great success...but my gallbladder has not agreed with my healthy eating at all! I'm awaiting surgery now, but find it hard to figure out what to eat, I know what to avoid, but blah, I need to lose but be careful...can you feel the stress?
my goal weight is 165...
wish me luck!!
