My Story...

Hi. My name is Ava I'm 21 and have a 5 month old Son. I will be having the bypass in 4 months. I lost my mom the day before I had my son unexpectedly. It's had a major toll on me I eat for everything. If I'm sad, happy, upset, alone. I'm starting my diet today. I want to lose 25lbs by next month. I will be working out for 1 1/2 hours each day and drinking protien shakes 3x daily for 2 weeks then 2 and dinner for the other 2. I'm really motivated because I also have my 9, 8, 6 and 2 year old sisters and brother. My 9 year old sister has downs and she's my motivation. I want to be able to get on the floor and help her when she has therapy. I also want to be able to run with my son when he gets older. I'm 5"6 and currently 311 I was 292 last month so I went the wrong way with my progress. Well, I look toward to talking to others.... And getting questions asked thanks

Ava, proud of you for making u important. Protein Shakes are great, I drank hot tea when I was hungry in between. Lots of wonderful flavors. Something about warm liquids are soothing for me.
