Hello out there!!
 

Hi all I found this forum searching for weightloss forums. I am currently on a mission to lose 111 pounds. My Name is Kerry and I am from Illinois. I low carbed, lost and got to goal and then stopped smoking...and I gained, and gained, and gained. I went to the docter who put me on phentermine, which started working ...and stopped almost as fast...I got high blood pressure from it. so much for that!! So about a year and a half ago I went to the docter and we decided I had a hiatal hernia, every time I bent over I got stuck...so the goal was to lose weight...it never got lost. I tried and tried, I gained and gained, I knew something was wrong but getting anyone to listen...a joke. Long story short I had a very large mass in my stomach, crushing my adrenal gland and kidney. All of that is out and I am losing weight again. I can not do low carb as I now only have 1 kidney, so I am feeling like a fish out of water and just trying to do the best I can, I have to focus on no more than -2 pounds a week. So I'm looking for inspiration and good fighting people here, battling the same war.

Hi Kerry, and :welcome3: So glad you found your problem and got it taken care of. Hope you are able to find a plan that is right for you and that you can live with. Perhaps your doctor could help advise you??
