Newbie Here Please Help

  • Hey all Im new here..
    I need a lot of help.
    I use to belong to WW, but at this moment I cannot afford it. i still have some materials. Just looked on a web ite and they gave me the amount of pts I can eat, seems different from Feb..
    I need help with eating proper, and recipes. Lately I LOVE FOOD
    I have IBS badly, and a thyroid problem ugggh. So I cannot eat eggs, milk, a lot of red meats and nothing with seeds or spicy. No tomatoes for me, I question myself what kind of Italian am I? LOL LOL LOL
    I need help with excerises, I cannot go to a gym now, really cannot afford it so all support me and help me..
    I had some photos takes on me last year. I wanted to do modeling. The pictures came out great considering none were touched up (which says a lot for me being I have had low low low self esteem all my life), but I had a lot of stress and gained weight like crazy, had a passing in family and moved to another state two months ago.. (Miss everyone in NY) I became an emotional eater.
    It has been my dream to do something with these pictures.
    Guys please HELP ME.... GET ME GOING..

  • Hello and bellaqns1

    I also have thyroid issues and IBSD. I am slowly losing weight.

    The Weight Watchers web sight has several at home workouts. Have you been there yet? The library in your area might have some workout videos or books that you could check out.

    Hang in there, you can do this!
  • Hi, bellaqns1, and welcome! From where in NY did you move? We lived in central NY (Finger Lakes Region) for about 6years before moving here, and we miss that area a lot.

    This group is terrific. I'm working on WW at-home, and I come here for the support, which helps tremendously.

    It has to be hard to work on weight loss with health issues. My youngest sister has IBS, but she's also always been the skinniest of the three of us. She used to be frightfully skinny due to her condition, which had her running to the bathroom all the time.

    For those of you dealing with IBS...would you ever mind me PM-ing you and asking about it? I'm worried about my 12 y/o son and if he might have it or something similar.

    Well, best wishes to you, bellaqns1! Please use this forum!!
