Hi there.
I'm a 27 year old female and I have been overweight for most of my life thus far; it’s time for a change. I am 5'9" and 211lbs (15 stone, 1lb, if I did the conversion right); my doctor has told me that this is unhealthy and has encouraged me to lose weight. My goal weight is 145lbs, which my doctor tells me for my bone structure is a realistic number. However, after spending nearly 150$ to speak with a nutritionalist I came away more confused than when I went to visit her, no help at all there.
I have had some minor success on my own, I lost 5lbs over the last 3 months; I adopted a puppy and our daily walks to the park (including all the stairs to get in and out of my apartment) seem to have helped start me on the weight loss path. I have problems with my knees that keep me from running and the like, despite the corrective surgery I have had to correct the issues.
I would like to see the weight continue to come off, perhaps even a bit more rapidly (hoping for 1lb per week), and I have quite a bit to lose.
Thanks for having me on your site!
Regards,
Monday
