Hi everyone.. im Lisa and i am 31 years old and i am looking to lose 25 pounds.. i am currently 165 and i want to get down to 140... i have had 2 surgeries since january and that has been holding me up on my mission.. but i am about ready now.. i am almost recovered from my second surgery.. so, does anyone have any ideas for me on how to lose this weight? i have tried the atkins diet, it work but it REALLY bothered my stomach so i had to stop it.. i am opened to any and all suggestions... thank all and i look forward to getting to know all of you.... ;)

Hi Lisa,
I'm new too, just joined the board yesterday. Looks like we have the same amount of weight to lose. I have been on Jenny Craig since February and have lost 21 lbs so far. (my start weight was 171.7) I have really been enjoying this way of eating... and have made friends with excersize ;) You didn't say what type of surgery you had...is it ok with your doc for you to start a diet yet? :?:

i had a tubal reversal 2 weeks ago.. my dr would like me to lose weight as well.. i started to loose but than i quit smoking and i gained.. it was worth it though to me to gain instead of smoking.. :D .. welcome to the board and congrads to u on your weight lose.. :cb: keep up the excellent work.. if i can help let me know.. im here for ya.. good luck to u and i hope to hear from you again...

awww..is that your dog? i have a 2 year old male that weighs 1 and a half pounds...

Congratulations on quitting smoking :woo: I quit almost 9 years ago and it was the hardest thing I ever did :dizzy: But soooo worth it! I gained 15lbs back then and was overweight to begin with, since then I have had a baby and my weight has been up and down mostly up :lol: But I think I have found a way to lose the excess weight and keep it off. :D Best of luck to you! And I am here for support when you need it...I check the boards everyday Mon-Fri.

I found that pic in the aviatar section, where you change your profile etc...I thougt he was pretty cute! I actually have a miniature pinscher (my hubby's dog) he weighs about 6.5 lbs LOL tiny thing! He has to go in for surgery next week, he has a fatty tumor on his chest...nothing too bad, but my husband is a nervous wreck! That is his "other" baby :lol:

Welcome to both of you! I just started this week also. This is a good place to be for support.
