as i said i am new to this site and uncertain how it all works - but i am a quick learner! i am 180 - 29 yo- and have just had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from my spinal cord- before surgury i weighed 196, so i lost weight with being sick. now that i am healthy and motivated to stay that way, i am watching what i eat, not following a "diet" but making progress. i am up walking around right now, will walk around the mall with my cane for exercise and cant wait until i am well enough to do more than that. i think having someone to talk to with similar goals would really help and thats why i came here. i used to be thin - too thin- and now i am too "fluffy" so i know both sides of the coin!
HI! I know both sides of the coin also was 110 until late 30 then got up to 167 and it is so hard to loose down to 152 you sound like you have lots of motivation just keep it up hope you have a speedy recovery Rita
thanks! and i am kicking butt on recovery! this sounds like a good group, i was worried it was going to be like others where no one replied to newbies at all because it was all, how do i put it, clique- ee-- people who had been part of that group for wuite a while and basically ignored new members. thanks for the response! --annie
Redbee, well , I hope and pray that you recover soon. That sounds scary! How long since your surgery? I don't now what too thin would, I don't think I could ever be too thin, but Ido know what the 180's are like. I hope to be out of them soon! Exercise will definitely help so keep it up. I hope all that walking in malls isn't costing too much Well, it's late here so I should go...
I hope your road to recovery is a short one. Take care and take it slow. I myself am new to this site , only been on it one week. I have joined a couple challenges and I find most everyone is friendly. I found out in June that my cholesterol was way out wack and I had to change my life style because of the meds they put me on. I started ww and have lossed 5lbs. I need to lose the extra 40 I've packed on over the years.
