Hello everyone!!!

My name is Amy and I am a 29 year old stay-at-home-homeschooling mom to two children. My dd is 5 and my ds is 10.

I have been struggling with being overweight for the last 8 or 9 years. I am currently considered morbidly obese by my Body Mass Index.

I was looking into having gastric bypass surgery. I found out this afternoon that my insurance does not cover it. I already had an appointment with my doctor so I kept it and asked her to help me lose weight.

I have tried all kinds of diets and pills. But I lacked support everytime. So hopefully this time will be better.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Amy

Hi and welcome Amy! What did your doctor recommend?
You've come to the right place for support!

The doctor sorta, kinda said something about weight watchers and told me stuff I already knew.

I just can't afford weight watchers and I don't have the time to drive 30 minutes one way to get to a meeting. That is why I am not so gung-ho on that.

But I hope being able to get online and chat I can lose weight.

The doctor also checked my thyroid and for diabetes and my b-12 level. I should have those results by the end of the week. I have had them all checked before and there was no problem, so I don't expect them to be a problem this time.

I stumbled across a great site from a young lady who has lost tons of weight and she has a great story and very good recipes.

Her web site is Aimeesadventures.com

Enjoy!
