Well, I am a 30 y/o former EMT turned stay at home mom. I have been "chunky" since middle school, but I really started putting on weight after college. I settled down with someone just over 10 years and got too comfy. Since high school I have put on just over 100 lbs. Since I have had my son in 2006 it has only gotten worse. I am now 5ft 2in and a heafty 281lbs.
I have tried Weight watchers a few times. Nutra System many years ago, calorie counting...But nothing seems to be permament. The most I lost was 40lb, which was a big deal!! And I hit a wall, then gained it all back within a year. I have some emotional problems that cause me to be on numerous medications. That doesn't help toward my weight either. I have major back problems, swelling in my feet, high cholestoral, asthma, a history of bilateral pulmonary embolisms. Finally after going the dr recently for severe back pain, she referred me to a local bariatric surgeon for a consult. I am now going through the intake process. Here I will track my progress, from beginning to as far as this goes. Only god knows what is instore for me.
