Hello all! My name is Tammy and I'm from Texas. Like everyone else I'm trying to lose weight. I have been suffering from several health related issues as a result of my weight. I was not willing to consider surgery and obviously my normal routine just isn't enough. My regular doctor passed me off to a 'specialist' and I actually gained weight under his care. I have since truly started exploring my options. I have found a new doctor and am currently under a directed weight loss program. I have been seriously working at this for almost 6 weeks. I feel like I'm doing pretty well (down 35.5 pounds, 2 dress sizes and lots of inches), however... the variety stinks. That may be my only downfall. So with my restrictions and limitations, I was searching for more options and found this site. Outside of being incredibly thorough and easy to use, it seems to be a great place for support and idea sharing. Looking forward to getting to know everybody and finding my way around. Warm Wishes, T

Welcome, welcome, welcome

That's fantastic prgoress for 6 weeks! Way to go!

Hi Tammy I`m new here too. Welcome!!!! I`ll look forward to reading more of your posts. Sounds like you`re doing great.....Kym

Welcome Tammy! I'm so glad you're finding success with your new doctor. Have you talked to him/her about the restrictions? Seems like it would be worthwhile to try to up the options so you'd stay on the plan longer, but I'm no expert...

Glad you've landed here. Great place, this is!
