@Berry78 That's what I did. It is helpful either way because my insurance would accept any attempts at medically supervised weight loss over a 2 year span, so even if I decided against it and changed my mind later, I wouldn't have to start the process over again.

I ultimately went through it because after losing 30 lbs on my own in the first 4 months. I eased up a bit in my 5th month and even though I stuck mostly to plan, but had a few "last hurrah" days in there, I gained 20lbs back in month 5. I realized then and there I could not do it on my own.

Sage advice, my friend.

I completely understand that. I definitely want to learn the nutrition side of things. I wasn't able to make the first nutrition appointment this past Monday because of work. I hope I can continue to go and learn and develop a sense a good eating habits. My biggest down fall is the support that I have at home. My partner eats whatever whenever and that doesn't seem to help me at all. So getting him on board with eating with me and eating what I eat will help me succeed the most.

@smb123 I struggled at first myself, my nutritionist got me together and did not allow me to give up.Also, the nurse practitioner helped me tremendously as well.I almost gave up twice, but I have decided to go for it. I'm praying for you and I know you will make the best decision for yourself
