Well it has been a while since i posted here. Last time i did i was considering weight loss surgery. I have reevaluated that choice and have decided to lose without the surgery. It took years to put it on then i can get up and lose it. I haven't lost much since i last posted, actually i think i gained. I am not giving up though. I am determined and with some support i know i can do it.

Make sure that you stick around here. You will get lots of support. There are others here that have chosen to do it with out surgery.
Learn lots here, ask lots of questions.

I absolutely love your signature! Please do stick around and get support from us. Just because you've chosen to not have wls doesn't mean we're on different journeys! I'm glad you're here and hugs.

Glad to see you back.
As well as sticking around here.
Is there a medical center with a good weight loss program close to you? If they have one specifically geared to meet the needs of adolescents/under 20s, better yet. There are studies out that such programs can help very much.

Thanks everyone!

Good luck.
My hospital has a program of which I am a part for weight loss support. But many of the patients are non surgical... they don't want surgery. So check with a local hospital-you can still benefit by support (nutrition, counseling etc..) and of course a support group. I love mine. Keep posting.
