Hi Everyone. I am 45 years old and I need to get healthy. I am morbidly obese with sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and gout. I need lots of encouragement.

I have lost around 25 lbs since July, but I need a new plan or motivation...something. If you have a suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks!!

Welcome!
Congrats on the 25 pounds! I strongly reccomend calorie counting, you can get apps on you phone for free or off the internet. Some people keep a food journal. First you choose a a daily calorie goal (2000) is what is reccomended to start. You can introduce excersize aswell!

Maybe consider joining a local Weight Watchers too. You might benefit from the support system of others. I think you can be successful in your weight loss. Just pick a direction and go Good luck! Post often

Diet AND exercise. Both are needed to lose weight. Be consistent and make realistic long-term goals. Join enjoyable exercise classes and find low-calorie foods that you really like.

Hello would you like a buddy? I am the same weight only I am 62

I am thinking of doing the P.I.N.K. Method. Pros?? Cons??

I've never heard of the P.I.N.K method, but welcome! Congrats on the first 25 pounds, you've already made great progress!
